Looking for a brindle bitch

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • Hi all, I am posting for a friend who is looking for a brindle bitch. He is wanting to hunt with her. He spent the weekend with my own basenji and was amazed at his speed, intelligence beauty and hunting ability. He mostly hunts rabbits, but does do squirrel, and some ground birds, and after seeing what my untrained pup can do in just one of his back pastures, he is dead set on getting one himself. He has experience with high energy, somewhat stubborn hounds already. He is absolutely not interested in showing, just high energy and very high prey drive. I am sure I could take her lure coursing with me on a few occasions, but mostly as a pet/hunter. All of his dogs live inside and are well taken care of. His best hunting dog recently passed away and his remaining fiest is getting on in age, so he needs a new hunter. He would prefer a brindle , but where work ability is concerned I am sure he would be fine with a red, tri, or black. We would be willing to travel down to Ohio, but hopefully no further to pick her up. We are located in central Michigan.

    if anyone has a bitch that might fit him, please let me know so i can get you his information, and get you in touch.

  • Was his back pasture fenced? If not, weren't you worried that your basenji would not come back?? If you trained your pup to come back to you outside… DO TELL HOW YOU DID IT!!!

  • His back pasture used to be used for raising miniature goats, so yes the whole thing is fenced with chicken wire all the way around.

    While that was nice I still had my guy on a hugely long horse lunge line. My little guy knows come.. sometimes, but not well enough for me to trust him completely off-lead in that large of an area, its about..18 acres? Since their youngest boy is too old for 4H projects they sold off the goats and cows. now the field is just used for some hunting. They raise some of their own game birds like cotornix quail and chuckars. And well, the rabbits (wild) are all over that back field. I let my little guy "hunt" a few of them, never let him get one though.

    and if anyone can let loose their B with a rock solid come, they need to fill us all in.

    @tanza yes, but Lovebird of the Congo, sadly, only had one litter and then succumbed to a car racing on country lanes so we never knew if she would come in in Autumn next time around. I always figure to get a rest through end of March to May/June from entering litters born during our winter into the d/b before the Australians start whelping and registering their 'winter' litters, born in our summer - sorry electrician working and he turned the power off at the mains . . . where was I ? OK, back on again. Some revert, some don't. Again, its the rich tapestry of Life With Basenjis !

    @liz-falzone Not sure if you are one of the 60 or so would-be Basenji puppy purchasers who has emailed me privately - PC is in the hospital and I am working on my laptop so can't access the list. But that alone does tell you a great deal ! I haven't bred a litter for 12 years now but am still getting enquiries - current breeders are also inundated. We have been weeding through enquirers, putting many people off this challenging breed if they should perhaps look elsewhere, and filling lists of known 2020 winter breeders. Many have been accepting visitors and establishing a relationship. And have closed lists. But breeders this winter seem to be holding their cards close to their chests, Rescues have been rehomed and Breed Clubs don't have many intended pairings listed. I may be able to help but need to know a great deal more about you - location, knowledge of the breed, children, working from home etc. My email addresses are on the websites listed in my signature bloc

    @nomrbddgs: I did find a lady for you, unfortunately, Luther is sick and has taken a turn for the worse recently, so that meeting was cancelled even before I could tell you. I haven't found anyone else remotely close. Sorry!!! Thanks very much! We greatly appreciate your help. Let us know if you hear of any other Saskatchewan Basenjis for us to meet!

    My gut feeling is if you can't find a dog who is utterly good with cats already, your best and safest bet is a puppy. I suggest you get on a couple of breeder's list and wait for the perfect pup for your house.
