What can and can be requested?

Thanks so much for the feed back. I know i'm searching incredibly early for a basenji. This year would of been an absolut horrible year for a puppy though, as all my traveling… bachlor parties & weddings all year it seems like would of really made it hard to raise a puppy of any breed. I decided to hold off till next season end of 2009 or 2010. Since i think after all these years i'm the only unmarried one left .

One of the breeders I contacted actually scans the forums here, she can rest asure though I won't pester her :D. I will try to contact each breeder once a month as they get to know me and determine If i'm a good suit for a basenji. I'm still very excited about a basenji after 4 or 5 months and I still have like 10 months to go :eek:.

@Knava:

I have talked to several breeders w/in 6 hours of me and I landed on sherwood in Georgia b/c of the bitch she is breeding next and the information she was able to provide. QUOTE]

I have two of Robyn's dogs from different litters: Cory and Jayden. I also also have only good things to say about her and her dogs.

hey Knava

Liz and I and our basenjis will be up in Knoxville next weeked, coming up Friday 3/27 and returning to Atlanta late Sunday. I don't know how much time you've spent around basenjis. I know that for us all the time we spent around them was very informative when we were thinking about getting one. We would be happy to meet up with you at a dog park or something, if that interests you.

And you would be welcome to pick our brains about all things basenji.

Mauigirl,
Thank you soooo much for the offer, unfortunatly I do have to work today (saturday) till 8 and I'm in the middle of remodeling my house, so I won't be avail on Sunday. I can't thank you enough though to be so nice as to offer that.

I also have two Sherwood dogs-Ch Sherwood's Black Tie Affair (Shadow) and Ch Sherwood's Something Sweet (Sugar). Nothing but good things to say about Robyn and her dogs. I actually just had a litter from Sugar and the temperments are excellent. Their first outing was today to the pet store for some collars (two have already gone home, 1 will go on April 4, and the last is in the works) and to a training centre. Both were really good with no whining and were passed to people left and right with no snarking at all. A little overwhelming for them, but excellent in all.

Actually it is going to be next weekend if you will be available.

Mauigirl,
That'd be absolutly awesome. I do still work friday and sat, but on sunday I'm sure you have a weekend scheduled. I only have a soccer game at 1 to 3:30 and I can work any other time around that. Just let me know. I'll pm you my cell phone if you want… Also everyone here can call me Matt instead =D.

Hi Matt,

We have had second thoughts about coming up due to weather. Sunday looks good but Sat is calling for scattered thunderstorms. I need to talk to Liz about it when I get home…..will let you know.

Matt,

It looks like it's going to be the following weekend, coming up Friday 4/3 leaving Sunday 4/5. I will ask Alex to send you my e-mail address a couple days before we head up.

That actually would be better for me anyways… I have new carpet coming in monday, and I have tear up my old carpet still and paint the baseboard all the way down which the old owner didn't do... Darn short cut takers :eek:

[mauigirl]

Matt,

It looks like we're coming up this weekend. Finally, gosh. That took long enough. This time there is a surprise birthday party planned so slim chances of plans changing last minute.

Can you meet up saturday afternoon? We were thinking about Victor Ashe park. I have asked Alex/Vanessa to send you my e-mail address.
