Basenji Rental Service?

Basenji Talk
  • KebasmomK

    So I find myself working in Honolulu. Been here a week and a half and still have a week and a half to go. I'm missing my furkids something terrible. I find myself hoping I'll see someone walking a Basenji so I can get my fix but nope! Wish there was such a thing as a Basenji rental service! I have been sleeping better though because I have the WHOLE bed :D

    Since getting (2yrs. old) Sahara no matter where we go we miss her terribly. She is such a snuggle bunny and loves to be with us wherever we go that to not have her shadow behind us is just unreal. Two weeks ago we went to Florida to visit family and we didn't worry about her b/c she was in a great Canine Country Club. We still missed her and was so glad to get back home to her, she is our baby. It is probably not good that we love her so much, but we just can't help it, haha!!!!

    It's funny. I think I miss my Bs more than I miss my husband…(hope he doesn't read this) I always bring the dogs pineapple cookies and sometimes a new Hawaiian print bandana. Last time I bought dog leis for all of them. Wonder if they make Hawaiian shirts for dogs.......:o)

    LOL, I have seen them on some websites, I'm sure you can find them there, and of course if you do you need to share photos

    I was in Hawaii a couple years ago and got Reggie a bandana that said "My mom went to Hawaii and all I got was this lousy bandana" LMAO (I did get him other things but I couldn't resist the funny bandana

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol
