Brother looking to become a Basenji Slave too

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • N

    I have 2 basenjis, and my mom adopted a basenji from BRAT several years ago. Now my brother has decided he would like a basenji of his own as well.
    He would prefer an older female.
    He lives with his girlfriend in Oxford, MI. Both of his kids are past college, and his girlfriend shares custody of her 12-year-old daughter. He has a fenced yard.
    if anyone knows of an older basenji looking for a retirement home, please let me know.

    Thanks so much,

    Nicole

    Nicole, has your brother filled out an application with BRAT? I think a sweet older girl was taken in recently in the midwest. Also, not sure what you mean when you say "older"…to me, that's 11--14yrs old, since B's have a long life span. 7-10 is middle aged, 3-6 is young, and 0-2 yrs is "Kiss Your Furniture Goodbye!"

    I told him to fill out an application for BRAT. I am not sure he has done it yet. He suggested 10 or older when he was talking to me.

    Thanks so much,

    Nicole

    There's a facebook page that is aimed at announcing basenji litters….but sometimes they have a couple older dogs up. Otherwise BRAT would be a good way to go.

    Check out Camp Basenji also… they Fanconi test their rescues. I honestly would never take another basenji without knowing the fanconi status.

    @rjbasenji - this is the time to align with a responsible breeder for a pup maybe in 2021. Because Basenjis only come in season once a year and their litter size is only 4-6 puppies, it is difficult to find one especially will all the people that "want" one... If you can visit with a breeder that would help you or if not call them on the phone and tell them why you think that a Basenji would be a good fit for your family/lifestyle.

    @yahtzee92 Just make sure you see Mom with the pups if at all possible and you definitely see the health certificates of both parents. OFA website is public domain - anyone can research on it. Tanza is right. Any puppy farmer can pay the BCOA and get listed. It doesn't mean there is any BCOA recommendation or guarantee.

    All pups have been placed as responsible breeders have reservation lists. We are not at this time planning a litter for 2020 or 2021. I would be happy to talk to you about Basenjis. You can search for responsible breeders at www.basenji.org by state, however as far as I know all responsible breeders on the West Coast already have full reservation lists. You would be looking at litters possible in 2021. This is the time to connect with a responsible breeder and get on their reservation lists for 2021. And if you are looking for a dog that is hypoallergenic, Basenjis do shed and have dander so they are not really hypoallergenic. While they can do well with people with allergies, you need to spend time with them and more than one time. Be sure that you check out health testing yourself, regardless of what you might be advised. Tests for DNA testing is public knowledge at www.ofa.org. You need to have either a registration number or name to check this out for yourself to verify. I suggest all people looking for a Basenji, even my own, do this.

    Even though breeders don't show on the on-line database, I do keep pretty full records, and by the way - please keep chasing people to send me litter data !

    @nomrbddgs: I did find a lady for you, unfortunately, Luther is sick and has taken a turn for the worse recently, so that meeting was cancelled even before I could tell you. I haven't found anyone else remotely close. Sorry!!! Thanks very much! We greatly appreciate your help. Let us know if you hear of any other Saskatchewan Basenjis for us to meet!

    If funds are an issues, you can do what I used to do before BRAT came along. Find out the vet of the family your placing him with, have the family pay you for your expenses and then take the dog to the new familys vet for the surgery to be fixed. Drop the dog off the day of the surgery and then new owners pu the dog. They get to pay the bill. That makes sure the dog is fixed, sets up a new vet record for the new dog in the family, and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. Mostly, you know the surgery WILL BE DONE. Thanks for making sure he is fixed before rehoming. That is so important.
