  • Kokopelli Basenjis in Rocky Hill, CT?

    I just did a search for basenji breeders in CT and that one came up and is literally 3 miles from where I live… just curious if I have a legitimate fellow basenji person near me??

  • I don't know her but she is a BCOA member.

  • I knew that name rang a bell from somewhere on the forum.

  • ah yes…. i did read that now that I think back.

    I just emailed her to see if i could swing by and meet her and her basenjis - as a fellow basenji lover and since we are practically neighbors! I miss seeing other basenjis!

    This is where you heard the name

  • Hello!! Im actually buying a Basenji from her right now! I did a home visit and her B's are GORGIOUS In my opinion! She tests, has a great show record and I can tell by the visit she takes SUPER good care of her b's! Does anyone know anything else? So far I have visited three breeders in Ohio and Ct and Gretchen is BY FAR my favorite. hope I helped!

    Not that I am doubting if she is a responsible breeder or not, as I don't know this person (have heard of the kennel name, however), but hopefully anyone that is considering a puppy from any breeder does their own checking and verifies testing information at www.offa.org. A responsible breeder should be "pleased" that you care enough to check on your own.

  • Hey Kira! Where in CT do you live? Gretchen lives about 3 miles away from me.. maybe when you get your new B we can have some playdates! I'm in Wethersfield, CT.

  • Sounds awesome. Im stationed in Groton at the sub base my DH is a submariner. Id LOVE to have a playdate with the puppy!! Socialization is SO important!!

  • AWW MAN! lol i wish I could have a basenji play date! lol Anyone know of anyone in Mitchell, SD? Would love to have a Basenji play date with anyone living here, or even passing through with their B's. :)

    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.

    @Rob5098 I don't in your area. Like Pat suggested, you can go here: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=111&Itemid=94 Check NY and NJ and any other state close enough for a drive.

    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 :-)

    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
