I would say that if one had planned to get a pup before this all occurred, then perhaps it would be good timing, as it would give one the opportunity of spending more time with the pup in the crucial early days. Of course things will change and the routine will be different, but there are ways to ease into the new schedule so it isn't an abrupt shift from always being there to suddenly being absent.
Searching for Basenji Breeders in the UK
-
Hello
Apologies if this comes up a lot - I’m new here.
I am absolutely desperate to find a Basenji Breeder or someone that offers rescue Basenjis in the U.K. I’ve really set my heart on a basenji and I have lovely home waiting for one of these dogs.
I’ve attempted to reach out to some contacts I’ve found in the U.K. but the emails never work. Im Manchester based but open to travelling the breadth and width of this island.
Anyone that has any leads, please reply.
My second question is how much will a Basenji puppy cost me here in the UK on average? What should I have put aside.
Kind regards

People are breeding from unregistered parents and / or not registering puppies, and asking £2000. But I do NOT advise you to get a puppy from one of these sources. Advice and back-up are not forthcoming. Contact a Breed Club Secretary and get onto a waiting list - probably not until 2023, even 2024. Waiting lists filled up already for most responsible breeders and I am sure you would prefer to get a puppy from one of them. I will send you a list of Breed Club Secretaries if you email me.

There is a world out there. We lived in Hawaii and got our Basenji from N.Z. Cost total was $2,000. Most of it was air faare.
