Looking for Basenji
-
Oh, ok, I do understand.
I have had shelters call me re getting a basenji into rescue and then not call back when I phone them.
I don't know if they are just overwhelmed or what…but they do imo need someone who calls and says we don't need you...
Laugh..what is for dinner??? -
Oven roasted Perdue chicken, stuffing, and garden veggies (those not already pureed under the feet of the 2 residential garden marauderers-Ty & Kate).What do you have planned? I keep running out of ideas:o . Do we need a recipe topic??
-
Laugh, funny you asked as I let my husband cook or do take out..I am way to busy..laugh..nope, just lazy. You dinner sounds wonderful!
BRAT does has a cookbook they made up for sale.
Lots of good ideas, and tested dinners in it.
I think they still have some more to sell…not too expensive.

and ask for the cookbook.
If I cooked, I would use it…laugh, but I did give it to some friends who did and they like it.
To make it basenji related, both my b's like take out or homecooking...they are all around eaters! -
HAHAHAHA–my b's don't care if it's home cooked or carry out either....food is food...
BTW....the 'extra' man that lives here and takes up room in the bed (according my b's), also does the cooking on an alternating basis He's much better than I am. We try to share the responsibilities. He was raised on a dairy farm in central WI (Hillsboro) with MANY bro and sis. He was a younger sib so "ma" taught him how to cook. After 21 years married I still envy his culinary skills.
Sorry all, back to topic....anyone else have an experience at a shelter/rescue such as spight??
-
Maybe???

The OP has a 6 year old and this guy is aggressive with children, it says. Probably not the best match

Hi all: Thanks for helping me look for basenji's. Unfortunately, i'm going to have to put my search on hold for at least 6 weeks. Tuesday afternoon, my daughter (6yo) slipped and fell in wet grass while playing in the sprinkler at my mom's and broke her clavicle. Ortho guy says NO activity or playing and has to wear sling for 3 weeks. Then, we can take sling off, but still no sports or rough playing for 3 more weeks. I'm afraid if we got doggies right now, she'd be too tempted to play with them and that bone wouldn't heal properly. But, thanks again to all who replied and keep your eyes out for me. We may just end up looking for a puppy since breeding time is right around the corner. Susan

Oh my…..wishes for a speedy recovery

Hi Susan,
I hope your little one is better by now and that you are still looking for a Basenji. We have an 8 month old tri-color male who needs a new home. This guy loves people and other dogs (we have 6 assorted dogs) and even gets along with our cat. He is beautiful, even has some bridle color on his face, and he is very well-behaved (for a Basenji). We got him for our daughter who was moving to an apartment where she could have a dog, but before she could move, it burned down! This was in Nashville, but we are in east TN, north of Knoxville. We have copies of his pedigree back 4 generations. We hope to recoup some of our expences, $200, negotiable.
Thanks, Marilyn -

Thanks, MarilynJust curious.. where did your Tri come from? And is the breeder not willing to take back the pup?
-
Hi Marilyn,
If you got your trindle from a reputable breeder he/she needs to be contacted if circumstances have changed such that you can't keep the pup. Responsible breeders have a livelong commitment to their pups. If you had a contract of sale that is where you would find the terms of this agreement. Sorry to hear about the fire and best of luck finding this boy a good forever home.
-
Hi Marilyn, just got your post. Sent you a pm about this little boy so look for it. Thanks, Susan

Please be sure that this boy has been at least DNA tested for Fanconi… and do yourself a favor and the breed and neuter this boy
-
Placing an intact dog without fanconis testing is not a good thing to do.
Pat is totally right on this point. -

Isn't it true that BRAT dogs aren't tested for Fanconi either? So the only diffirents is the fact that he is intact with only eight months? Still time enough to neuter this boy right?
As owner who's selling the dog.. I would neuter this pup.. As buyer I would not mind buying one who's still intact..
-
I know this dog and have been in contacted with it's previous owners. He came from Rocky Top Basenjis. The only club affiliation that the breeder claims is with the ACA. Make of it what you will.

The problem with selling (or placing) an intact, untested dog is that he could very well end up in a puppymill situation, or anywhere that won't test before breeding…producing puppies that will develop fanconi, and selling those puppies to unsuspecting (uneducated) buyers.
BRAT dogs may not be tested for Fanconi, but they certainly are neutered before placement.

Yes, I agree, but that's more important for the one selling the dog than for the buyer right? (if buyer is not puppymill himself.. I mean an educated buyer, who will neuter the dog)
-
Actually, as a buyer the Fanconi test should be important. It is true that BRAT will not test but if I was looking for basenji and knowing there is a DNA test available for Fanconi, I would want to know the results of that test. Just like if I was buying a puppy from a breeder I would want to know that at least one of the parents is Probably Clear.
It is true that uneducated buyers are not going to know to ask. That is why so many breeders can still sell puppies not only if neither parent is tested but even when the dogs have been tested and are breedings that can produce Probably Affecteds.
