Anyone know this breeder?

  • JazzysMom, are you sure BRAT will accept him? (Admittedly, I don't know how that process works.) Or are you willing to foster him 'til you find a home for him? Or give him a forever home yourself? (Sorry if I missed how this all was going to work.)

    I, too, would be willing to kick in $50.

    Kudos to you, JazzysMom!

  • Yeah, we just need to get on the ball with this. I know everyone involved is trying their best. Looks like with gbroxyn and others who are willing to pitch in, we're closer to $300. If not, I'd be happy to make up the difference once we're all settled if $300 makes the difference to the seller. I hope the dog is okay…

    We just need to finalize the method behind our madness. :) AKA, love for our elite breed! ;)

    Pretty sure – Sharron has already spoken to the owner, but the owner wants t recoup some of the money they spent buying him.

    Doesn't BRAT pretty much take any B that is turned over to them?

  • Okay, I talked to the woman this morning and she is willing to take $300, but no less.

    So…. next step?

    Again, IMO… I would wait it out.... obviously she has no takers to this point. Sad to do, but by paying for this pup, you are supporting her/his behavior of trying to sell the dog

    Well, I don't object to her trying to sell him – her family is breaking up, she doesn't know where she is going to live, she needs to recoup some of the money...... I can see that. The pet store isn't taking him back.

    I'd rather do it this way, than to risk her selling him to a bad home.

    I think......:confused:

  • i am ready to send a check or transfter via paypal… just let me know. we should probably start an off-forum conversation about this... for privacy reasons.

    I understand where you are coming from JM. But honestly, there is no way anybody is going to give her $700, IMO.

    And, no BRAT won't accept a dog that has bitten humans (at least that is what I have been told repeatedly). So make SURE that you check him out before you pay her.

  • I adopted Tucker from BRAT and was told he was aggressive and that he bit a child. It was right in BRAT's description of him.

    I'm ready to pony up myself. Who's in charge here? ;)

  • Wait…this dog bite a human??? Did I miss something?

  • Noone knows about the dog we're trying to buy and pass along to BRAT. Quercus just said we should check the dog out becuase she's not sure BRAT takes biters. I think they do since they let me adopt one, but maybe things have changed. I dunno.

    If your question was directed at me, YES, Tucker has bitten plenty of people (who deserved it)…

    They are only asking $400 in the original ad.

    and I wouldn't pick him up w/out visiting first. From what she says – and I do realize she's trying to re-home him -- he's very friendly,w/kids etc

    I think if you go to paypal.com, you only need my email address to make a payment via credit card to my account - if you want to do it that way. Then I can transfer the money, I think, to my checking and go from there.

    You can email me at adakgirl@gmail.com –that is the address I use for more "public" communication -- I will send you my private email address, through which I use paypal.

    BEFORE anyone does ANYTHING, we need to be sure that everyone is on-board with it, AND let me hear back from Sharron to make sure she has the foster home lined up. She said they had one, but I want to double-check before I wind up w/a third dog here:eek: Dh would NEVER go for that!!!

  • I'm emailing you now. And, yes, I'm on board.

  • same here. i'm on board, and just emailed you.

  • I'm on board as well. Let me know the paypal address…or I will email you actually.

    Interesting….I was told they wouldn't. Hmmm....

  • I'm stilll up for my share. I'm getting ready to send you an email to the address shown above to verify.

    Me too Andrea.. and I know people that have been turned away with Basenjis that are a bite risk…. guess it depends...???

    yeah, I am thinking it depends a lot on the contact person. But from what I have discussed with folks from other all breed rescue groups, there is a HUGE liability for a group who knowingly adopts out a dog that has bitten people before.

    @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"?

    Fopaws is great. I actually bred to one of their boys and since then we have become extended family. They are wonderful people with wonderful dogs!

    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.
