Same thing applies over here. No more puppies now until winter 2021 breeding season. If you email me privately, addresses are in the websites on my signature block, I will send you a list of breed club secretaries. Tested parents will appear on the OFA websites @tanza told you about. We use OFA to test our dogs too.
Patience is now the name of the game, but you should be able to get onto a breeders list for a puppy early 2022, February or March
Basenjis for sale
-
It would sure be good to get full info on this so called litter for sale.
-
She has a myspace page, and according to that is only 22 yrs old.
I believe that Lisa Lynn, who has a B named Bella on this forum, may be her friend on myspace. Maybe she has more info.?
The myspace for this breeder is Basenji Puppies and the web addy is : http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=439250173 -
I just sent a message on myspace asking if tests were done for Fanconi, and/or hips, patella, thyroid.
-
Do let us know what you hear, if anything.
-
It is in pretty poor form to be using another breeder's kennel name.
-
I am NOT defending this person… however... I would doubt that she has any idea what a responsible breeder is or that there might be someone with the same "kennel" name for their Basenjis. Or that people don't use the same names....
-

My guess is that she isn't aware that she IS using another breeder's name.
Probably just sounded like a cool name. -
but if these puppies are AKC registered, doesn't she have to register her kennel name? or do they allow you to use any kennel name? this just sounds fishy…

Unless you pay to register the "kennel" name.. it is fair game… it is not required to register a kennel name... it is personal choice
-
Actually, it isn't even as simple as wanting to register your kennel name with AKC. I would like to be able to do that, but I do not breed enough litters to qualify for a registered kennel name. You must breed 5 litters in 5 years to qualify.
-
wow, that seems like a lot, especially considering what goes into a good litter.
-
Yes, especially when you only breed a litter because you plan to keep a puppy and all your dogs are housedogs.
-
My guess is that she isn't aware that she IS using another breeder's name.
Maybe not but I hope she reads this and refrains from using it from this point on.
-
Yes, she recently sent me a friend request which I accepted. I suspected BYB also, I asked her a question about how long she had been breeding Basenjis. I was trying to get a response and dig a little deeper, but she never responded to my question… which made me even more suspicious. I left her as my friend for future reference, interesting she popped up here!
-
BTW, the only Basenji breeder I knew of in WV (until now) is in Proctor, WV… Bethany of Rosewood Kennels. Oh, and a girl named Melisa in Proctor... I'm not sure if she and Rosewood are in some way connected, but Melisa claims to breed and show Basenjis...
-
Dolores has been around awhile.
Karen Hutchinson has co-bred with her.
Dolores got a puppy from Lisa A [Itzyu] last year.
He is a littermate to my Bebe [also from Lisa].Unfortunately, this girl probably got her dogs from the PM in Keota, OK and most likely they aren't even AKC registered…

My guess is you're thinking of Melisa Skillman? (Her last name might be different now.) If so, then yes she is also a breeder/exhibitor, Dija Basenjis. Her dogs have a similar pedigree as Beth's dogs and they do work together sometimes. I don't know all the details but I do know they associate with each other, more now than in the past. Melisa used to live in Ohio and I've seen her around quite a bit. Been a while though since we've talked.

I think that's the Melisa I am speaking of, I'm glad you metioned the name of her Co. (Dija Basenjis). It sounds very familiar, I had just never put the two together in my head… There aren't many Basenji Breeders in my state!
-
Melisa is totally legit, and a really nice woman
I think she currently lives with (and works for?) Beth on her farm. They both breed Basenjis under different kennel names. -
Well, keep us posted if you all learn more about the person who posted this.
