Apparently, because of the pandemic, puppies and kittens are in short supply everywhere, and since female basenjis generally only have one litter a year, you might have to wait even longer. The theory behind the shortage of puppies and kittens (and even older dogs and cats) is that because of lockdowns, etc people are lonely for companionship.
Looking for puppy or younger basenji near Chicago north suburbs
-
It has been over a year since we had to let our 16.5 year old basenji go due to old age. We got her as a rescue when she was 4 mo. from Hammond, IN. Ready to start again. Signed up for BRAT -only offered older dogs so far. Any suggestions for finding a puppy or younger basenji close enough to Chicago to drive and pick up?

Check with breeders on the BCOA site, many have young males that have finished their championship and are looking for a home.

I was just at a show and met with a breeder who has four basenji puppies available, I believe they are three black and white and one red?

Be sure to check for yourself the health testing…. at www.offa.org you need their registered names and/or number… or the name entered to record the test.
And check out www.newworldbasenjis.net, they are planning a litter this fall

Thanks for letting me know about these pups. I got a wonderful boy from Michelle Gaghan Rafikis Basenjis this spring so no longer looking.
