A quick google search yielded this site: www.eurobreeders.com. Search breeds, then B, then look for Basenji. There where many breeders that popped up including a couple in Italy, which isn’t too far I suppose. I have no idea about Basenji breeding in Europe though. Do your homework.

There was a basenji female bred by someone here in MN who was behind an invisible fence - which kept her in nicely but did nothing to keep out the dog (I don't remember Rottie or Dobe) who came in and ripped her to shreds - that dog owner had to pay thousands to patch that animal up - I do think she survived but what trauma.
FYI - I NEVER place a dog in a home with underground fence as the means of containment and I don't know many reputable breeders who will.

I think underground fences are a scam. It makes it easy for the owners, who just turn the dog out, and gives the dog no safety.
I think they should be banned. -

I think they should be banned.I so agree…but it is very typical american mind set..I put this fence in the ground so I am doing my part, now if a dog comes into my yard and either impregnates or kills my dog, that isn't my fault, that is that dog's owners fault...so I am a good responsible pet owner...right.
I looked into them when Otis got hit by a car, but the more I read about them, the scarier they sounded..it is truly not a good way to keep your dog out of harms away, nor to keep harm out of your dog's way..

When we brought Moe home, we thought about an invisible fence briefly, very briefly, and dismissed the idea quickly. My first thought was of predators that he wouldn't be able to run from, and that a fence is for keeping things out just as much as keeping them in. Recently, we've had an increase in coyotes in our area due to their loss of habitat. Also, there is an equal chance that we can wake up to an alligator in our front yard, which happens quite often in some of the local neighborhoods, so a real fence was the only way for us. My dad brought it up again recently as an addition to our chainlink fence because Cody has learned that he can climb it, but since he doesn't go outside without me, it just isn't worth the hassle.

Just a note…
Hot Rod is back at my house again... he went to Mom's while my girls were in season [3 girls!].
They are all together.. the girls and my 7-mo-old male B Charlie and my 9-mo-old male IG Preston.
I had no idea if Roddie would work with them, but since he was in hump-mode that was fine and dandy with him and the two boys to spend a week humping each other prior to being back with the girls.Roddie LOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVES sleeping in bed with me [at my feet as I type, in bed] and shares well with the other basenjis and IG.
He is a great housedog… I just would not place him with a fuzzy dog, cat or other hairy critter.
Just took some pics of him sleeping at my feet:
