I love these dogs. My current baby turned 11 years old in December. Her name is Mattie and she is the love of my life. She is tri-color. I got my first Basenji in 1977 (red & white) "Nicki". Mattie is my fourth.
I agree with the others that this is not a common practice among BCOA breeders. I am sorry that this happened to you and yes, you should get your deposit back.
I live near the mountains in Colorado. There are some great trails with open space all around to let thme run around.
Gosh I'm so jealous!! We don't have any plasce we could let our pooches loose. I would love a big open space sans any basenji prey :) that way they'll come back
