    Hi. Weare looking for reputable breeders within our reach from central GA.
    We are visiting Harmony Hounds this weekend but see mixed reviews here, mostly several years ago.
    We want a pet, not to show or compete. Any suggestions are appreciated, within our driving range, a hound
    Adult, less than two years is preferred. Thanks! Mark and Sandra

    You can find breeders at www.basenji.org, there is a link for listing of breeders by state. You might want to try and contact Robyn Dubbert, she is near Atlanta, GA. Email is sherwoodbasenjis@aol.com or you can find her on facebook both under Robyn Dubbert or Sherwood Basenjis. I know she has some young adults available

    Thanks! I attempted contact with Robyn via email and it was returned. The entries on Facebook seem to end July 21. A long post from her indicated her health problems and difficulty maintaining her active group of hounds, hence parting with them. I certainly hope she is well. She has quite the resume' with this breed.

    We are cautiously visiting Harmony Hounds tomorrow. We have learned much from the Basengi.org site so are prepared for our visit. Our goal is a family pet, but want verification of a healthy hound. We are reaching out to other breeders via the list on the website.

    Thanks again.

    Try an IM on Facebook to Robyn Dubbert's page, she posts most ever day. Or send me your email address and I will IM her on her FB page

    IMO I would run as fast as I can from the other place.... they do good and saying what you want to hear... And while they do some health testing, certainly not enough... and they do not raise their dogs in the home, they are outdoors, with a number of other breeds they are breeding, no way can they socialize them properly....

    I haven't been to this forum in years but Pat let me know you were trying to contact me and I responded. =)

    One thing that I have learned in life is to accept that things are not all black or all white. Life is shades of gray and just because someone sees a different shade of gray than you do, it doesn't mean their shade is right or wrong, its just different. ~ Robyn Dubbert

    I don't know Harmony Hounds, but both their web site for Basset Hounds and Basenjis send up major warning signs. I did both AKC and OFA searches, found nothing, zip, zero on Harmony Hounds in OFA, and one on AKC. Responsible breeders have their own dogs and kennel name. So.. here is an old thread on them. Nothing seems to have changed:

    Robyn I know personally from her kindness when we got and were showing our first basenji, and years on the board.

    We were saddened and disappointed in our visit there. It was our first exposure to the Breed unfortunately. We are working with Robyn and a reputable breeder in South Georgia currently. We are hopeful for a match with a young adult Or teen. Thanks for your input.

    I assume you mean for next winter's litters ? Nothing available at all right now - all this winter's crop will have been promised long since and be leaving the nest soon if they aren't already resettled. However, if you email me (see signature block - email addresses are on the websites) I will send you a list of Breed Club secretaries.

    Pam Geoffroy [Eldorado] is President of the BCOA and Debbi Hauri [Mata Hauri] is a longtime Basenji breeder. I am sure you would love a pup from either of them :-)

    I'm sorry for your loss. I did not mean to seem overly harsh, but I am glad you found the article eye-opening. I am very sad that you lost your boy so young. Please consider giving a homeless dog a second chance, or buy only from responsible breeders for a pup. it really is worth it. -Nicole

    Fopaws is great. I actually bred to one of their boys and since then we have become extended family. They are wonderful people with wonderful dogs!

    @nkjvcjs: Sorry we didn't see you yesterday. It was a ball though. I loved seeing all of the dogs run. Katie got to do a practice run, which was great! I am so sunburned, but I can't wait to go to another trial! -Nicole I didn't set up the table until the end of the day until most of the people left because they needed me to be paddock master. I even skipped doing a puppy practice run with Zoni because I was so sunburned…even after putting SPF 55 on 4 times! It was still fun though. There are probably other trials in the IL area if you check the afsa and akc sites. The MidWest Coursing Club usually holds either an afsa or akc trial each year, last year it was at the Greater Racine Kennel Club, which is not too far from IL. http://midwestcoursing.homestead.com/index.html The BCOSW will have a fun day in July 11th in Rockford, and I think they will have the lure equipment there for some fun runs.

    Yes, Arlene, you do need at some point to take a stand and trust what you see and what you like… Breeding comes down to that in the end.... And with a bitch that is only 1 1/2 yrs looking down from the top is not a very good judge... IMO... reason?... They are not mature yet... and they shouldn't be.... their ribs have not even "sprung" at this age.. again IMO.... I would be hard pushed to say a dog is "wider" in the front then the rear at this age by just looking down on them.... again IMO.... Here is a link to 3 pictures of Kobey, 6wks, 3 months and 5 1/2 months... everything I saw on this pup at 6 wks that I liked (and that is a bit early then the 8 wks usually used for evaluating pups) I still see... but there are differences while growing... Now granted this pup is one of the few that has yet to really fall apart with a growing spurt... And also the faults that I saw at 6wks are still there too..... www.tanzabasenjis.net/kobeygrowing.html
