  • I'll donate $50 also!

  • Well, don't forget me!! I can kick in $50. So that is $150…but by the time we trickle up to $400, he may be gone....or maybe, just maybe she will have called Sharron back and turned him over!! {fingers and toes all crossed!}

  • we're up to $200 now, right? I think jazzys mom and i posted simultaneously…

  • That's actually $200. We're halfway there. :)

    We have me, TuckerVA
    BasenjiDiva
    Tayda_Lenny
    JazzysMom

    We have BRAT represented here. Can this person tell us how we can setup a donation link via PayPal for this dog on BasenjiRescue.org somehow? Either that or tell us where to send the checks?

    Does anyone know how to get in touch with Sharon Hurlbut? Perhaps she can broker the deal with the person selling the dog since she's already contacted them?

    It feels good to be DOING.

    And you can always call and "offer" the 200 instead of trying to get the entire 400.00, they might be willing to do it for that price

  • I really wish I could help but $50 is a bit steep for me right now. If some sort of account is set up I could probably chip in like $10-15. Sorry it can't be more!

  • Cindy is a BYB.
    She sells a sh*t load of puppies all over the country.
    Since she is irresponsible and does NOT take her dogs back.
    A ton of dogs she bred ended up in Colorado Basenji Rescues.
    We are constantly re-homing her dogs here in CO…very frustrating indeed.

    Careful Steffie….you might hurt somebody's feelings! No bad talking breeders, no matter how many of their dogs you have rescued.....

    off to slap my own hands....</dripping>

  • Let me know if you guys set up an account, I can chip in $10 or so, like Nina $50.00 is steep for me right now (My GI Bill is about to run out so I will soon have to start paying for college so I am saving where I can!). Let me know, I would like to help.

  • Ditto for me as well. :)

  • $10-$15 from me.

  • So we're at $250 or so. Try offering that.

  • Well, I need to know first that there's a way to set this up and actually have money available before even attempting to set up a deal. I mean, what if I call and she accepts the $250, and for whatever reason the money doesn't come through? Not a chance I can afford to take.

    I'm going to email Sharron to see if BRAT has a system or can come up with a system. I have a Paypal account, but can't assume that everyone wants to send their money to my private account. I know I'm trustworthy, but let's face it…you all don't.
    Let's see if/when I hear from her, and then if it's feasible, we can call and make the offer.

  • I have paypal also. Perhaps we can use the brat paypal donation link and just specify what it is for. I think Paypal allows you to make some notes when you submit a payment. At least I'm pretty sure it can be setup that way.

    All we need to know is where to send the money. :)

    I've emailed Sharron and hope to hear something very soon!

    I'd really love to see this happen.

  • If Sharon or someone can contact BRAT and let them know we're coming, they can, I presume, simply give us a code (and I don't mean something from the Ovaltine Secret Decoder, something like "Pausin' on Clausin!") for the particuliar deal and let us know what it is. The donation to BRAT via credit card (through Network for Good) allows you to designate what the donation is for.

    It reads like this once you click the "Donate Now" button:

    "Designation (Optional)
    To designate your donation for a specific fund or purpose, please enter a description of how you'd like your donation to be used."

    I think this would be pretty simple. :)

  • Just so you guys know…I am pretty sure BRAT has an absolutely no purchase rule for rescuing dogs. So you may have to go about this a slightly different way, and have a non-BRAT related person purchase the dog, and then give it to BRAT.

    If BRAT got into the position of purchasing dogs, it could lead down a slippery slope of people holding their dogs hostage until rescue met their price, kwim? In fact, I think people that are surrendin dogs are encouraged to make a donation to help cover the cost of vetting and such.

    I am sure Sharron will clear this up. But I though I would give you a heads up.

  • And I still think you all if determined to buy this dog, call and offer a lower price….

  • I am willing to offer the lower price, but I need to have the money at hand in case she accepts the offer. I don't have $200 spare in my pocket to cover it.

    And I have a friend lined up to "buy" the dog; I didn't think Sharron {BRAT} would actually be able to take that step.

  • This may seem archaic - but can we not just all send you checks in the mail?

    @debbie said in reputable breeder?: @tanza yes my mistake it was tested with OKC I got papers to prove it.. she was born with the disease Are you referring to OFA? If so then I would wonder if the pup's sire/dam were not the real sire/dam of the pup you got? Only if they are Afflicted with the Fanconi gene (the pup) would they develop Fanconi? Did the paperwork from OFA say "clear"?

    @Rob5098 I don't in your area. Like Pat suggested, you can go here: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=111&Itemid=94 Check NY and NJ and any other state close enough for a drive.

    There is no documented cases of blue or cream Basenjis having alopecia. That said, while these people do DNA test for Fanconi now they do no other health testing and the exact lineage of their dogs cannot be traced. These people are not bad people per se but they are not very knowledgable about the breed. They do breed multiple breeds solely for profit.

    Yes, Arlene, you do need at some point to take a stand and trust what you see and what you like… Breeding comes down to that in the end.... And with a bitch that is only 1 1/2 yrs looking down from the top is not a very good judge... IMO... reason?... They are not mature yet... and they shouldn't be.... their ribs have not even "sprung" at this age.. again IMO.... I would be hard pushed to say a dog is "wider" in the front then the rear at this age by just looking down on them.... again IMO.... Here is a link to 3 pictures of Kobey, 6wks, 3 months and 5 1/2 months... everything I saw on this pup at 6 wks that I liked (and that is a bit early then the 8 wks usually used for evaluating pups) I still see... but there are differences while growing... Now granted this pup is one of the few that has yet to really fall apart with a growing spurt... And also the faults that I saw at 6wks are still there too..... www.tanzabasenjis.net/kobeygrowing.html

    @khanis: Not polished ??? Sorry, but that is one of the silliest things that I have heard in ages. **I'm sorry; to what is this referring? :confused: I have seen dogs that are uglier than sin.. in the show ring no less! People that can't breed a decent looking domestic basenji aren't going to be able to breed a decent looking African basenji! **Uglier than sin? Really? I really prefer health and temperament and function as breeding goals. IMHO. How is that for a bunch of African beauties??? **Your dogs are quite lovely. So are my two Jasiri-Sukari B's. But neither would win in a show. We think they're beautiful, too. And they both have sweet temperaments. Lucky us. :) s.
