    Excellent advise already.

    I would contact your local breed club, not just the breeders.

    https://www.basenji.org/index.php/about-basenjis/breeder-directory

    Contact ALL the breeders within driving distance and let them know you are interested. While many pups are ready to go home, homes fall through for a variety of reasons... so be on the list. :) Also, if you are interested in an older dog, let them know that. Many breeders have under a year to 5 yr olds that simply didn't fit the program or had a litter or 2 and are ready to be lavished with a lot of personal attention. Good luck in your hunt!

    Thank you so much for the responses. They are very helpful! I’m originally from Ohio and still visit my family there quite often so a drive out there to pick up a pup would be easy for me! Do you have any names you could share?

    Yes of course!
    Laurie Owen - Spring Willow
    Becky Blansett - Epic
    Tim Huff - Victory
    Sue kite - Klassic

    My parents have a little girl from Laurie and I think she may have an “out of season” litter. She is on Facebook and very nice. Always welcomes people into her home to see her dogs. :). She’s on Facebook, send her a message!

    I don’t know that the others have any pups left this year or plans to breed til fall but they all have nice dogs!

    Hi Denise, I live in Boston and twice have gotten basenjis from Eldorado Basenji in North Attleboro. I cannot recommend them enough - the two breeders in charge know everything about the breed and are truly passionate about their work and love their dogs. They have puppies in November and December, but have adult basenjis (under 3) available throughout the year. The dogs are beautiful and healthy with excellent genes. I highly recommend them!

    Hi there from faR away,
    But, there is a breeder who breeds Africans, her name is CarolAnn Worsham, and she lives in Ohio near Columbus. Good luck with your search.

    @luigifrangigi - Also not all are good with social media (email), try calling them direct... sometimes it works better.

    This is not the time of year to look for a Basenji in the Northern Hemisphere, let alone in Kent ! One breeder from there is reputed to have said he had enough advance orders for 4 years after the last year's rush to buy a Basenji ! But you could (maybe) get on a waiting list for next March delivery. Email me privately (address in websites on signature block) for a list of breed club secretaries.

    @helle-devi said in Looking for a Basenji puppy to join the family in Los Angeles!: Denise Searcy @ Starfyre Basenji in Nuevo, CA Great! I'll PM you now. I saw the South Coast Basenji page as well and love how active the community is. I'm happy to see there are events and should I get a puppy this season, that there various meetups so I can make sure he/she can socialize well into and through adulthood. Thank you!

    I don't see much basenji in him (the ears don't look right somehow) - chihuahua or dachshund maybe and yeah some kind of terrier. Nice though.

    PLEASE visit www.basenjirescue.org and take a look at the current purebred basenji rescues availiable and ready for forever homes. We offer transport options where volunteers are availiable. I just recently flew a dog from Texas to Toronto, A plane ticket for $220.00 bought the dog climate controlled in cabin flight, and the adoption was a success. Please email me if you have any questions! BENDA4BRAT@YAH0O.COM

    @tanza: By the way, 80% of Basenjis have umbilica herinas… and there is NO emergency to get them fixed as 99% of the time they never cause problems. We show with them, we course with them, even the bitches have puppies with umbilica hernias... Your Vet is totally off base... that that he/she is the first... happens all the time. Also there is a Basenji breeder, who is a Vet (Tracy Leonard) in Beavercreek, Oh... maybe she could give you a referral? Our Basenji also had an umbilica hernia when he was little. Our Vet told us to just keep an eye on it but said it was pretty common. The umbilica hernia our basenji had took care of itself and the dog is completely healthy. Like Tanza has said your Vet is off base and you are doing the right thing by seeking another Vet. We chose to use a Vet that specializes in sports medicine for dogs. I would follow the advice you have received and get a referral from a breeder or contact your local AKC club and find out if there are any other Basenji owners in that club and ask them who they use for a Vet. They should be very willing to help you. Jason

    @lvoss: This is not true Eldorado's Bejeweled was last CERF'd July 2008, that test is valid for 12 months so she would not be expected to be tested again until July 2009. http://www.offa.org/display.html?appnum=1210648#animal Eldorado's Barcelona was last CERF'd June 2007, so is due to be retested but has been tested multiple years. http://www.offa.org/display.html?appnum=1057756#animal Eldorado's Hocus Pocus was last CERF'd June 2007, so is due to be retested though she was tested last at 9 years of age so at least you have some idea of how her eyes aged. http://www.offa.org/display.html?appnum=1057755#animal Eldorado's Bejeweled is my girl Ruby and I was present at her CERF. Eldorado's Barcelona (my girl Ruby's mom) crossed to the rainbow bridge last fall. I believe she was 11 years old.
