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.

    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 !

    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.
