Recommend a reputable breeder "near" NYC?

  • A

    Hey there folks!

    Since this is my first post, let me introduce myself. I'm Danny from Brooklyn. At 33, I'm an entrepreneur in progress living with my GF. We've been considering a puppy for a while now, and after a TON of research, a Basenji is at the top of our list. We're looking for reputable breeders within a reasonable distance of NYC (we're totally willing to travel a ways, so "reasonable" is relative) who might be willing to talk to us and eventually arrange a visit to learn more about them, to see if we might find a fit for our home.

    Does anyone have experience with a breeder in the Northeast who would be good for us to reach out to? We have family in DC and Pennsylvania as well, and we're happy to go for a drive/weekend trip in the other direction. We're also open to adoption, but we do know that we want a puppy.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: We found a pup from a breeder in VA and will be picking him up in a few weeks.

    Does your Basenji canter "true"?

    @Knipper: Cricket canters true on left and right lead. Her flying lead changes are stunning! I wish I could get those out of Ryley! Perry does nice flying changes too, and occasionally does a simple change through trot. He is certainly smoother and more consistent than most of my horses, who will throw in a disunited stride or two on occasion! :)

    How true. I'm surprised no one has started Basenji Anonymous, LOL It's like pringles can't have one. Although I have just one now. I have owned Basenjsi for 30 years. I tell my dog loving co-workers about Kay-Dee's antics and they love hearing about her. She goes a lot of places with me and she has her own fan club.

    Great job Crystal and Cody:). Macpac says it all when it was stated "Kudos to you for teaching him to love and be happy. " We sometimes forget that the baby-step advances with an in home raised puppy (as difficult as that is at times) is really nothing compared to the difficulties and patience needed when an older dog, abused, neglected, or just plain unwanted/emotionally devoid Basenji is adopted in a home. Baby steps for others, can be a GIANT grand canyon type leap for a rescue/rehome and their family. Congratulations for jumping the Grand Canyon:D

    Hmmm, I wonder if we got Joey and Jazzy together, if their pups would be laid back? Joey is pretty calm compared to most bs that I have heard of or seen.

    Sahara does not like the dark either, I have to go out with her for her evening potty runs. She gets out there and if I am there she will go in the front or back, but will look around the side of the house to make sure I am still there. She is so funny.
