@rachael Well, if your breeder didn't follow the proper protocol of giving you a copy of the signed agreement and document explaining the endorsement stipulation at the time of purchase, then technically you could challenge it with the KC. You certainly could make your case with them. Whilst the thought of any KC lifting breeder endorsements makes me slightly uneasy, I do hear & understand your fear that these puppies wouldn't have that safety net of registration. Have you mentioned having already medically screened your male basenji to his breeder? Perhaps that could be helpful in persuading him to lift the endorsement. I would certainly reach out in a follow up with the breeder to try and resolve the unfortunate situation. This "mismate" is a misstep, and I would hope the puppies wouldn’t in any way suffer because of it. I agree with @elbrant Post the coming details here. I'm glad to know you won't post them on the free placement sites. Those can be terribly dodgy. Please keep the community here abreast of your situation as potential puppy parents will see this post, and you could help a future someone out who might have this exact issue.
I hope I've been a bit of help.
where to buy?

Hello, are you aware of any reputable breeders in Beckenham, Bromley or south east london? Happy to travel further but would really appreciate some advice

I believe all of this years puppies are already heading to their new homes. Would you consider an older pup? Or be willing to wait until next year?

@taraodonoghue430 Email me privately, address on websites in signature block. I will send you email addresses of the three Breed Club secretaries but for this year - you are far too late. As @elbrant says, pups from this winter's crop are even now on their way to new homes, booked months ago.
