Recommend a reputable breeder "near" NYC?

Basenji Talk
  • 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 anyone know of a website that shows you how to trim a b's tail? Or, should that be left to doggie grooming 'experts'? Kipawa's tail is lovely now, but any bushier and I think I might want to tidy it up.

    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.

    The Evergreen basenji club in Seattle has wonderful lure coursing and rally training. The basenji weekend is Aug is a great way to see b's do all sorts of activities. The dogs doing rally and lurecoursing are my fav…

    She-Ra helps clean off the Peanut Butter knife (held so she won't cut herself (even though it's a butter knife I've heard stories)) when I'm done with it. Gonna have to try the mashed potato beater this Thanksgiving (it's her first…she's seen this big bird in the fridge but can't quite figure out what to do about it! :) ).

    If I put my arm around Nika when we're on the couch and my hand rests on her leg, she'll lick my hand for 10 minutes.
