Brother looking to become a Basenji Slave too

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • 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!"

  • A total-B family: wonderful!

  • 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.

    Email me privately. Address in signature block websites. But this is not a year to be thinking about Basenji puppies. And lists for next year are being compiled by some breeders.

    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.

    Email me privately. Address in websites in signature block. I have had in excess of 100 enquiries since lockdown. The world has gone mad for puppies of all breeds. You are unlikely to find one this breeding season. Some breeders are already filling up lists for spring of 2022. Your research will have shown you that Basenjis are once a year girls. In the northern hemisphere this means most of them whelp around November or December

    My gut feeling is if you can't find a dog who is utterly good with cats already, your best and safest bet is a puppy. I suggest you get on a couple of breeder's list and wait for the perfect pup for your house.
