recent thoughts on tight line breeding?

Breeder Talk
  • H

    Hi, I'm not a breeder nor an expert about canine breeding, and just an owner of pet Basenjis, but I recently learned a little more about the breeding process of reputable Basenji breeders: Line breeding/tight line breeding. I see a long discussion thread on this forum from back in 2007, but that's been quite a long time ago, and I'm hoping to see comments from breeders in more recent times and lines of thinking. Thanks in advance.

    Not a breeder. I am curious as well. I am surprised that no one has responded to your question since there are quite a few breeders who belong to the Forums. To help avoid buying a dog or pup that has been too tightly line-bred you can research breeder lines though the Zande database. https://pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    Thanks everyone who has shared their knowledge and opinions on the matter! I got all the tests done, just waiting for the results from the OFA. Say all the results are good/clear/negative/etc. I already spoke to a couple breeders, so I have a couple of potential studs picked out. What are some of the other steps involved, i.e. registering the litter, etc.?

    True Arlene good temperament and has passed all health tests,moves soundly the way a Basenji should are of utmost importance.It´s no good if the dog stacks perfectly when he´ll fall apart whilst gaiting.We have also the problem with too straight upperarms and crappy fronts which are sooo difficult to breed in one´s their gone.

    Based solely on these photos, I would rank Bella and Dean the highest but Clark and Flash are certainly not far behind. This is a fabulous litter. I love them all.
