  • Like I said, they are good people …. good luck, hope you can get on the waiting list... however, know that many times, responsible breeders have a waiting list long before they even decide to breed...

  • k. yea we called them again but they weren't picking up, and there email doesn't work either!! , i tried and the email got sent back to me

  • welcome to the forum – you'll find lots of good tips on dealing with the quirks of basenji behavior and some just plain funny stories about them.

  • Be very, very careful in your choice of a breeder. I learned some lessons about breeder choice after the fact and I deal with some issues with my two dogs that might not exist if I had spent more time researching breeders. A great breeder site (even if you don't get your dog from them) is Rugosa Basenjis. She gives a lot of advice when it comes to selecting a breeder and has a great print-out of how to handle you pup when he/she comes home to encourage a good "pack-member" in your pack.

    I'm in love with my basenjis - they are great dogs, but they test you. You have to be on your toes with them, but they're worth every effort. Let us know when you get your dog!!

    Vickie from Rugosa is a breeder…. she is near Detroit, Mi (but in Ohio)... and many of us have links and information on finding a breeder. The breeder she is talking about is a known breeder.... However Vickie typically has more reservations for pups then she has pups...

    And yes you are correct, you should always research breeders so that you go to a responsible breeder and not a Back Yard Breeder… or a pet store

    Yep, Vickie is right near me…I live on the west side of town, and she lives on the east side of town. You won't find a more dedicated breeder :)

  • Alrighty thanx guys :)

    Im workin on my business culminating at the moment, so i will talk to you guys later.
    I need this to pass and i get the dog .

  • I know the breeder-Lynn and Dennis. In fact, I live near Niagara Falls and you can ask me about the Canadian breeders-if you feel more comfortable you can message me privately.

    Welcome, from another Ohioan. We are on the north side of columbus and have 1 r/w boy. We have occasionaly taken him to the Westerville dog park but his behavior has not be great lately. We have cut back. We also help BRAT transport and foster. Great to have more B's in Ohio. I see so few of them in Columbus.

    Dave hello, I also am new to this site. I had my frist Basenji for sixteen years and lost her last year. I could only go for about a month before getting my next Basenji. I really love this breed I have two now. Good luck in your search for your next Basenji.

    Hello and welcome to the forum. Can't wait to see pics of Dash, and the rest of the family!!! I do home visits for BRAT. Would love to foster one, but space will not allow it at this time.
