Should I look for basenjis in Russia?

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • N

    I am looking to get a basenji in Christmas season. I have contacted a lot of breeders and many have been tons of help. I understand it is up to nature. I was just wondering if it is likely that a puppy can be 8 weeks old by December 25th. I searched on world dog finder and found an add for a puppy. She said I could be put on the list and it could be possible to have them ready by then. Is this because it gets colder there faster? Also if any breeders are able to let me know if they usually have a litter ready by then please let me know. Just wondering if I should continue looking for basenjis internationally?

    @nico - There could be one at that age, but I will tell you that from most all responsible breeders, placing a pup over a holiday is not advisable. Most all Basenjis are born in Nov/Dec/Jan so in order for a pup to be of age in December they would need to be born October and that said, at least in the US, Basenjis are placed at 10 to 12wks. You would be better off to just supply pictures of a pup if a Christmas gift with puppy gifts for when your new puppy would come home.

    I would never sell a Basenji puppy as a potential Christmas Present ! (and I don't know any responsibile breeders who would either)

    Presents often get the wrapping torn off and are then discarded - how about waiting until after the festive season when things have calmed down and you have time to cope with the exigencies of a new puppy ?

    Tanza's idea of giving a photo might work but a live puppy under foot on Christmas Day, among all the relatives and parcels - No.

    Oddly enough, there is another person in Spain needing to rehome their Basenji puppy. The fellow's girlfriend does not like dogs. The topic is "Basenji puppy for adoption (Spain)" and the guy is @Luc21. Hope you can contact him.

    Email me privately. Address in signature block websites. But this is not a year to be thinking about Basenji puppies. And lists for next year are being compiled by some breeders.

    Email me privately. Address in websites in signature block. I have had in excess of 100 enquiries since lockdown. The world has gone mad for puppies of all breeds. You are unlikely to find one this breeding season. Some breeders are already filling up lists for spring of 2022. Your research will have shown you that Basenjis are once a year girls. In the northern hemisphere this means most of them whelp around November or December

    @nomrbddgs: I did find a lady for you, unfortunately, Luther is sick and has taken a turn for the worse recently, so that meeting was cancelled even before I could tell you. I haven't found anyone else remotely close. Sorry!!! Thanks very much! We greatly appreciate your help. Let us know if you hear of any other Saskatchewan Basenjis for us to meet!

    If funds are an issues, you can do what I used to do before BRAT came along. Find out the vet of the family your placing him with, have the family pay you for your expenses and then take the dog to the new familys vet for the surgery to be fixed. Drop the dog off the day of the surgery and then new owners pu the dog. They get to pay the bill. That makes sure the dog is fixed, sets up a new vet record for the new dog in the family, and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. Mostly, you know the surgery WILL BE DONE. Thanks for making sure he is fixed before rehoming. That is so important.
