We decided to place this dog with BRAT, so he is no longer available.We have an 8 month old male,unneutered, tri-color who needs a new home. He weighs 21 pounds, is friendly with other dogs and people. ACA papers available; copy of pedigree back 4 generations. We bought him for our daughter, but the place she was moving burned so she can't take him. He is available now for $200, negotiable. We would rather not ship, but will meet potential owners a reasonable distance away. We are near Knoxville, TN;
Thanks, Marilyn Skulstad
Hi Marilyn, sent you an e-mail about this tri-boy. Thanks, Susan
Has he been DNA tested for Fanconi? And also, if not AKC registered… the really you should consider neutering him.... While a perfect pet is great... leaving a unregistered dog in-tact and no health tested is not really responsible
Please don't place intact dogs as pets.
They can end up in puppymills…its awful for any dog...
Please fix pet dogs before rehoming them...
Here's a little more info on our Basenji boy. We have an appointment to get him neutered next week. I am not sure about the Fanconi testing, but have the breeder's name and contact info. He was originally bought by an elderly couple who couldn't handle a young, energetic dog. They sold him to a family where one of the children broke out in a rash, apparently allergic to him. That's who we bought him from for our 24 year old daughter who now can't have a dog where she lives. We have 6 other dogs so just don't have time to give another one enough attention. We are very concerned that he goes to a good, forever home this time because he really is a good dog.
Thanks, Marilyn
Marilyn, thank you for getting this boy fixed.
If you want some tips to make sure he goes to a good home, I can tell you how we do it in BRAT.
brescue@wavecable.com is my e-mail.
I can help you decide who had the best home for the boy.

That is great that he will be neutered. As far as Fanconi testing you can check his sire and dam at www.offa.org. It the sire and dam are not there, then he should be DNA tested and you can find information about testing at www.basenjihealth.org
I hear you have a young sinji, I am looking for a younger pup. I would like to have pics sent to me please.e-mail me if still available. thank you TIM and Rebecca Prodan
I'm sorry, but our boy has found a home. Good luck with your search.

Marilyn, I am also in Knoxville, TN and we tried to get this boy into BRAT from the original elderly owners, but they would not release him to BRAT… sad that he had to go through sooo many homes that obviously didn't understand basenji behavior. Is he still in the Knoxville/East TN area?? Do you have Basenjis in East Tn that might like to have a playdate?? I have only run into a few Bs here and have been unable to do form a group... which I would love to do!!!
Our B went to a family in another state. They have had Bs in the past and really wanted another one. The only home that may not have understood B behavior was the first one with the elderly couple. The family we got him from wanted to keep him but had a child who was allergic. Our daughter wanted to keep him also but could not have a dog where she is living. We have 6 other dogs, and felt we could not give him the attention he deserves. We would have liked to keep him, but believe he will have a better home where he now is. Thank you for your concern.
Marilyn
