Anyone know this breeder?

  • I think it depends.

    If not, what is the reason for the 'Bites?' field being included on their rap sheets on the rescue site? Just telling you what I know. BRAT was fully aware that the family fostering Tucker had bite issues with him because that is why they put him up for adoption. They were having a baby and didn't want Tucker to eat it after having bitten a 14 year old kid and Tucker's Dad.

    Tucker didn't bite BEFORE they moved and she got pregnant, however, so it could just have been the change in his environment. Either way, they knew and they told me.

    Go to the BRAT site and look at the dogs there. Look at Dune, Leo (of Leo and Ruby), Ginger, Bobo, Tahoe and Larry. All listed as biters.

  • I just started reading this thread…do you have enough money lined up? If not, I'll chip in the difference to make it happen. On other lists I have been on, people have just put $10 or $20 bill in an envelope and sent it to a total stranger on occasion to help a dog. I don't know of any time it was a scam, just people chipping in a bit when they can to help someone with a need. In this case, getting a nice dog into a new family instead of the pound. Good for you all for getting this rolling!

  • I'm waiting to hear back from Sharron {BRAT} before moving forward.

    You guys are all awesome,though, for jumping on this!

  • Hi all.
    I just got back into town.
    I know BRAT does not "buy"dogs, so paying for this dog will have to be done by folks who care what happens to him. It can't be BRAT related.
    I will take him into BRAT's care once he has been screened by a foster home.
    So he does have a place to go.
    So, its a matter of discussing this with this "owner" to see what price she will sell him at.
    Now, I did send her all the BRAT info and the fees we charge to adopt b's out to folks.
    She wouldn't turn him over, so I asked her to take my info and give it to the next family so they could contact me when they had basenji issues.
    I need to get up to speed re this being still availible.
    You all can send funds where you wish, if someone has a pay pal acct, that would probably be best.
    I will catch up this weekend.

  • I just realized how stupid that above post was.
    SIGH!
    Yes, BRAT does buy puppymill dogs with the board approval but that is a case by case thing and not done as a matter of course.
    This boy, if he is still not sold will have to be done by private members who care about this boys future.
    I just felt I needed to post this so we are clear this is a nice group of folks who are donating to this boys fees and not a BRAT project.
    Hugs to you all.

  • Okay, we're set up to go with this boy . . . I have recieved $150.00 thus far into my paypay account.

    For those of you who offered to donate, you can donate through PayPal to the email address darrenturner@wavecable.com.

    I know I should have held off until I had all funds on hand, but I was also working on my friend's schedule, and she's out of town quite a bit..

    Can I get a quick recount of those who intend to donate?

  • I've sent money via Paypal. Hopefully you've heard from them by now.

  • @BasenjiDiva:

    I've sent money via Paypal. Hopefully you've heard from them by now.

    Pat

    Yes, Pat, thanks. I've just gotten notification! :D

  • I have sent money via paypal also…

  • As have I, and I've received your confirmation e-mail, JazzysMom.

    Crossing my fingers that all goes as planned!

  • I plan on sending money tomorrow while at work. Although only expect $10 from me. I wish it could be more. Hopefully other people will pull through though so we can save this baby :)

  • Every penny helps, so we all appreciate every contribution.

    PayPal is up to $240, so we're getting there!

    I'm getting excited….almost as if I'm bringing this little boy home w/me, LOL, but dh has made it quite clear that I am not! ;-(

  • I have to say that you all are wonderful.
    We have the foster home set up for next sat, that is the day of "sale".
    I am hopeful we can post some photos soon and give a nice report of this b's temperment.
    Hugs to you all.
    THANK YOU!

  • I sent money as well. I presume it was received. I got confirmation from PayPal that it was sent, but nothing else???

  • @TuckerVA:

    I sent money as well. I presume it was received. I got confirmation from PayPal that it was sent, but nothing else???

    Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I'd emailed you directly.:(

    yes, I got your money.Thanks!;)

  • How much more money is needed? Vanessa and I would like to contribute.

  • Well, I have $240 now, and am expecting $35 more tomorrow….

    So, that'd leave $25 still needed to hit the full $300.

  • Just sent $25.

  • Thanks Nina and Alex; your contributions are in.

    Now, to get the gal to pin point a time…..

  • We are still set up for this coming sat.
    I have someone who will do a short term foster until Lisa, the long term if needed, foster is back into town.
    JoNell, if your folks are all set, we are!

    @listeme: Knowing how fast technology changes and improves, I'd be hesitant to sign up for a program like this if I weren't going to be using it in a couple of years or less. Remember VCRs? Cassette tapes? Telephones that attach to walls? :D lol. ya i suppose you all are right. At first i thought about it, but i dont know. I guess its still a good thing if you have to do more than one chip in a dog. and i think they said the microchips are good forever (whether thats possible or not) I guess its still worth it for me, IMO. Since rescue and my personal dogs. I can use that amount of chips (in rescue) within a year or two. So…i think its a good deal. Whether it is or not...

    @Nemo: Here's the link. http://www.basenji.org/learn/ Go to "screening breeders" at the top. That is a great list…and great explanations of why those questions are important.

    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.
