I had a situation similar to @elbrant. I contacted a breeder wanting to get on a list for a puppy. She said she had a 16 month female that was available -she was going to SHOW but changed her mind. I said I had my heart set on a puppy and she said “the puppy stage is short- lived and there were a lot of advantages of getting a young dog that was past the puppy stage - you should at least come and meet the dog.” Needless to say it was love at first sight - she immediately bonded w/ my husband curling up next to him. Years later the breeder stated to me that she knew we were the right family for the dog - that she had only seen 2 times when one of her dogs immediately bonded with a family. I always said “ Kembe chose us.” In hind sight it was a blessing - I got a dog that was potty trained, could walk on leash, and already knew basic commands. My only regret is that I did not get her a sibling so that she had a companion. You shouldn’t have any issues. Congratulations- look forward for great adventure and happiness with your new basenji.
"Free" Basenjis =/

well, tonight I was browsing around looking at basenji puppies online, (not because I want another
3 is my limit :p I just get bored and can't resist the cute puppy faces:o) Anywho, I was on puppyfind.com and came across this :The title is "Free, 4 Left" they are 5 months old and i guess they just want them gone so bad they will GIVE them away,
Just thought i'd share..

No surprise…. here... many BYB's are having problems placing pups this year with the current conditions.... that is what happens when you breed for profit... when the profit is gone... you need to dump the product
-
Does anyone have a membership to see who the seller is? I forwarded the link to BRAT in the hopes the dogs don't get dumped but I can't see who the seller is without paying.
-
yeah, I know i have a username and that but i think you have to pay to see the whole thing. I know Kathy (khanis) has a 3 year old on there shes trying to rehome maybe if she sees this she can help..
