    @tanza thank you. Have been recieving email, texts, phone calls from a supposed breeder in southern CA that had red flags once he asked for down pymnt even though I kept asking about the pup. It's a new site called, Debora Basenji Puppy Home. So frustrated. Lost my girl a year ago. She was my SD.

    @kdpnut - The clue is that this site was just put up in 2022... This in my opinion is a scam. Unless they give you the names of the sire/dam of these pups... and you can verify their health testing... DON'T DO IT! Here is a link for finding a responsible breeder. So sorry about your loss... there are so many scams out there... sorry to say. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags
    While there are people that say that the prices of a well bred pup is "over priced" is NOT true, responsible breeders breed to improve the breed and many, many responsible breeders do NOT charge more for show or pet... In the end with responsible breeders the home is the most important. If they want a show puppy, they keep it...period. Their prices are a scam for sure... and I am guessing if you asked for proof of DNA testing for Fanconi/PRA you will get NO response...

    @sakuhn62 - Have to respond that I breed well bred, healthy Basenji puppies. Prices are NO different for pet or show... in fact it is not that often that I have placed puppies in show homes... if I want to show, I keep that puppy. For a well bred puppy it MAKES no difference if show quality or not... price is the same. You are paying for a life time commitment and you are now part of the breeders family. The contract says if you have to give up that pup... the breeder takes that pup, no questions asked... real breeders care for the puppies that they raise and place. The price is only the beginning... care from the pup is life time.. to get a pup that is NOT health tested and not of good temperament is a life time of lots of money spent... more than the normal care that is needed. Don't fool yourself..

    Definitely research a legitimate responsible breeder. It will save you a lot of heartache and unnecessary expenses. Prices for a purebred may seem high from a responsible breeder but many times they are just breaking even after health testing, veterinarian visits, medication, licenses, food, etc. Breeders just want their pups to be placed into loving responsible homes!

    Unbelievable! Makes me so angry that people would take advantage of others and to do it @ the expense of an innocent basenji! So sad!

    @jengosmonkey LOL.... that is what is happening... and people fall for it... don't do it... too many scam sites... and the pups you are seeing are pup's pictures that are stolen from other sites... these are not real... the posts that I have made and insisted that I would not be interested unless they supplied sire/dam names and the conversation has gone "dark"... and they have not and I am sure will not supply the information I have requested... DO NOT send money, do NOT believe their information.. these are scams... period

    @m0nia86 I know, what are the odds! I have not been up Cavehill in years also, so maybe it was meant to be that we bumped into eachother 😊 I saw the forum notification about Northern Ireland and I thought hmmmmm that's interesting, and had to take a look. I will private message you the email address that I have for Charlotte, but I am sure it's the same as what you have already been given.

    That's great. Now you know what her security blanket is. hehehe. Something like that can actually brighten up a road workers day. Especially the sign holders who just stand there all day, to see a dog jumping all around the car then stare him down when there's no danger of him taking the bear at all.

    @Maya: When i was first in touch with Maya's breeder i asked lots of questions about health testing. I knew the temperment of Maya's mum (which is fantastic!!) as i had met her several times, so i asked all about Dad. Having witnessed some horrific temperments around the ring over here, health and temperment were a priority for me… I also would have been concerned if the breeder hadn't asked LOTS of questions of me. She wanted to know if i'd researched the breed, if i knew they weren't necessarily easy to live with (and explained!) and just lots of questions about me to make sure she knew if i would be a responsible basenji owner. I think with such a unique breed you need a responsible breeder who is looking for a permenant home who has done their research :) This was totally my experience as well. I was very aware that it wasn't just us interviewing a breeder, but the breeder getting to know us. I was really grateful to see that our amazing breeder took the time to make sure that we knew what we were getting into. It would make me exceptionally leery if a breeder handed over a Basenji, no questions asked.

    @etzbseder: Did anyone else get the email about the new issue of the Breeder? The second story on the email has a picture of a basenji and is from Reveille Basenjis. Just wanted to point that out. That would be Damara Bolte, she is a officer of BCOA, besides a judge, breeder, handler…. The article was from AKC
