@dmcarty:

Do we know WHO went out of business?

It was/is a PM in N.Dakota.. he has an ad on puppyfind.com 24 Basenjis, 2500.00 for the lot of them

So…there are separate purchases N (South? I thought!) Dakota...and then also MO...and then more from IA?

Millers must be having a really hard time selling Bs if they are dumping them this young and fertile! Yay!!

[dmcarty]

Don't Yay - too soon Andrea - if we 'buy' them they are making a sale.

Understood…but at least they are selling their breeding stock (young breeding stock)..not puppies to the market. That would make me believe they are finding basenjis unprofitable.

I get that paying for a dog makes a market, but I also see the logic in getting these dogs out of the 'system'.

Sorry, my error, couldn't remember if north or south.. I don't know of any others

Pat your correct, that is the ad that got BRAT involved.
Thanks so for posting this info.

And in this one case, this person is going out of business and selling all the Basenjis… by taking them "off" the market... at least they are not adding to the PM population... that said, too bad there are still so many around and add to the Back Yard Breeders...

Sharron, thanks for the info. I got on the groups and sent a message as well as replied to Liz'a initial request. We are willing to help any way we can. She must have a ton on her plate. I did she they we dropping one in Columbus, so maybe that is us or GenJMar.
