New Breeder Needs Help

Breeder Talk

  • Thanks for clarifying JazzysMom. I had received the reply in an email to SerenJane and thought it was directed to me. My apologies if I have offended.


  • We all start somewhere when it comes to b's.
    Anyone who wants to learn what quality breeders do to have quality dogs would be welcome with open arms..
    The discussion on making $$ and dumping the breeding bitch was so offensive to me..I just couldn't believe that this was this persons major concern…
    I think this forum is helpful to those who care about the dogs and want to learn.
    I learn something everyday from this group.
    I only hope this person, who posted this tread can't find dogs to use in the manner they wrote about...
    Time will tell.

    Could be this person was a troll. She said all the right things to get people in a dither. Typical of a troll, trolling for angry responses.

    Possibly, we had some members that were removed from the forum for not respecting us and our forum guidelines. They periodically show up back here in one form or another trying to stir things up.

    I don't think Lili is a troll though, just stumbled on a sensitive topic.

    The best thing todo if you find someones post offensive is to ignore the poster and notify the moderator team at admin@basenjiforums.com. If you have any comments or concerns about moderation or this message please email us privately.

    Lets stay on topic.

    Thank you,


  • Even if this person who started this post isn't legit, some of the info given by the quality breeders might help those who are thinking they might want to get into breeding in the future.
    Breeding its not for the uninformed…imo


  • I wouldn't guess it was a troll since they have been a member since Nov of last year & have made posts unrelated to breeding…

    However, Sharron brings up a great point. Although this thread started a bit of conflict, many wonderful & legitimate points about becoming a breeder have been mentioned. This thread has served as a general what to do if you are serious about wanting to breed & has probably [& IMO hopefully] scared off some people who are not in it for the right reasons. I can assure you I would NEVER breed! Haha.


  • Well, I sure hope they read and absorb what these long time breeder folks know and are sharing.
    Otherwise, I will be seeing their dogs down the line, and I sure don't want that.
    SIGH!


  • I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to the original poster - LiLi. Sorry for the confusion.

    Sure, Sharron! I totally agree. That is why I responded in a civil manner :) I was just pointing out that there are some people out there who get their kicks by stirring up trouble on boards like this…they actually have competitions to see who can get the most responses.

    I also don't think it was anybody who was kicked out of the forums...at least none of the people that I know who were kicked out (of course, I don't know how many people were kicked out)...they don't have any wish to return; or stir up trouble.

    Good point Nina….I didn't realize she had posted before.

    I agree, the posts that were made were by breeders that have been there, done that… and related their experiences... good, bad, etc... and to get the message out that responsible breeders do NOT make money, nor do they breed to make money...


  • @mauigirl:

    Hey Carrie,

    I'll go to dog shows with you! :D
    I'm definitely interested in learning more about conformation, just for fun.

    Let's go! That would be fun!!!

    I assume you mean for next winter's litters ? Nothing available at all right now - all this winter's crop will have been promised long since and be leaving the nest soon if they aren't already resettled. However, if you email me (see signature block - email addresses are on the websites) I will send you a list of Breed Club secretaries.

    I know Terry Reed is a breeder near Houston and currently has 2 litters. She also shows her basenjis. She was recommended when we looking for a Basenji when ours crossed the Rainbow Bridge last April. We ended up rescuing a mix instead since we didn’t want to wait but had no reservations about getting a puppy from her if we needed.

    We were saddened and disappointed in our visit there. It was our first exposure to the Breed unfortunately. We are working with Robyn and a reputable breeder in South Georgia currently. We are hopeful for a match with a young adult Or teen. Thanks for your input.

    Pam Geoffroy [Eldorado] is President of the BCOA and Debbi Hauri [Mata Hauri] is a longtime Basenji breeder. I am sure you would love a pup from either of them :-)

    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!

    @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.
