  • I agree with Maya. There is Blackpool show on 27th June and Hound Show at Stafford on 1st August. Also NBS have their Champ show on 12th July. Come along and chat to people there most of whom are breeders.

  • thank you to everyone for the advise. I have looked online and like the sound of Zande Basenjis.
    It sounds a good idea to go to a show.

  • Hello Benkura,
    can you tell me the best day to visit the Blackpool show, i have never been to a Dog show before. Also what is NBS please,
    Shelley

  • Hi Sheley.

    Sorry should have been more specific. Blackpool day for Basenjis is Saturday 27th June at Westby near Blackpool. NBS is Northern Basenji Society. You can find out more details at www.northernbasenji.org.uk The championship show is held at My Pet Stop, Tingley West Yorkshire on Sunday 12th July.

    If you need any more help or info just ask. :)

  • Thanks for the info, i will see if my cousin will come with me to Westby on the saturday. Had a look at your web page and see you have a Dog called Benji, he looks quite stocky and reminds me of pictures of the first Basenjis,

  • Hi Shelley

    Benji is my first B. He is 7 now. I don't show him any more but he is coming to Blackpool so you can meet him there. My website is very new and still very basic but keep a look out as new things will appear on it soon.

    Looking forward to meeting you at Blackpool.

    It would be great if you add your health testing results to your site….

    I have just sent off for the Fanconi testing kit for 2 of my dogs. They've not arrived yet but when I get the results they will be added to the site. The other 2 dogs will be tested when I can afford it.

    The website is in a very infant state - I'm learning as I go along. I plan to add pages about my dogs with pics and a guestbook etc. Keep checking for new items. :)

    That's great…. always good to have the Fanconi test done, especially if the sire and dam were not.... good luck on your results. And you site looks really nice so far.

    I agree with Lisa… while your list can be helpful, puppymillers have learned to look very reputable making it much harder to look at the website to determine. The bottom line is, no matter if they sell one breed or more, they can be a puppymill. And there are certainly some very legit responsible breeders with 2 or even 4 breeds! My entry into dog breeding/showing was a woman who had English bulldogs, her daughter had aghans and setters. If they don't have pedigrees and health testing info on the web page, I'd run. If they have it and you check OFA and find they falsified, or only maybe the current or some of their dogs have testing.. run. The rest they can fake or pretend but generations of health clearances generally aren't part of a puppymill.

    Thanks for the information. I may look into this a bit as it seems workable. Once I adopt, it is for life no matter what the situation I just want to try and avoid a problem by this research. I know that it isn't great but truthfully I have never had a dog that does not kill iquanas and yet those same dogs have been totally safe around even the smallest bottle fed kittens. Poor iquanas, they must taste really good. Every once an a while a sleeping iquana falls off his branch and lands on my deck. We have about five minutes of chaos as I try to catch any dogs and put them away before…:eek:

    @TwinPeaks: Hello Brianne, There are no breeders closer to Edmonton than Shamaron Basenjis. I would like you to know that over 14 years I have had 3 basenjis from Shamaron basenjis. All the dogs turned out to have fabulous temperments and lovely confirmation. With just a bit of research, the sire of the litter they have on their website shows that the sire or dam is not tested and comes from a Fanconi line on the bottom side through Changa Gala Celebration, with not only Fanconi but PRA eye problems in his offspring. Now, I can't say anything about the Dam of the litter, as I don't find the pedigree on Sally's pedigree site, but this kennel has produced a Fanconi Affected in Shamaron's Kofi Utundu and they have breed to lines with much known Fanconi.
  • Picked our breeder. We are on a Waiting list!

    Congrats on picking a breeder and getting on the future puppy list…hope you are successful in getting a pup! :D How exciting! Oh, and regarding the sleeping - I truly think the secret weapon for sleep, besides wearing my pup out before bed, was the snugglepuppy that Lisa (lvoss) recommended. Definitely get one of those! Liyah had no problems sleeping - I only remember her crying the first 2 nights and then only for 15 or 20 minutes, otherwise, I've always had my full night sleep. So sleepwise, for me a puppy was easy, as was potty training.
