Breeders in MD, PA, DE or VA

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • Greetings,
    I'm looking for breeders in MD, PA, DE or VA that are planning liters this summer. My family and I are looking to add to the pack…

  • Chances of you finding a summer litter are fairly slim. 90% of Basenjis typically come in season one a year and that is in Sept/Oct, so pups are usually born Nov/Dec. If you go to www.basenji.org and then to the breeder directory, you can find breeders in the areas you are looking or they can refer you to other breeders. Someone might be planning a spring/summer litter if they happen to have a bitch that has more then one season a year.

  • Where did you get your last basenji from? If your pack is a basenji one….

  • Can you tell us more about yourself and your current basenjis? Like Tanza said finding a summer litter are slim, but there are a few out there.

    Would love to know more about your current pack, maybe even some pictures. We always love to see pictures of basenjis. And were you got them from as many of our pups are related on one way or another.

    That distance is not that bad to find a reputable breeder. We drove from northern Michigan to Rockford Illinois and to Milwaukee Wisconsin to get (2) of our Basenjis, would do it again. Two of the best Basenjis we have had.

    As noted by Debra, go to www.basenji.org and search for breeders. Most of the reputable breeders are listed here, but not all. Go to https://basenji.org/index.php/about-basenjis/is-a-basenji-right-for-me, there is a link about screening breeders. These are questions you should ask potential breeders. They should provide you with links the the OFA testing base. DNA testing for Fanconi and PRA are public knowledge. Here is an example of one of my listings on the OFA database.https://www.ofa.org/advanced-search?f=sr&appnum=1415062. For sure Fanconi DNA and PRA DNA must be done, but most responsible breeders also test for hips, thyroid, eyes... however, those results are not always posted a public. But if done, the breeder would have certificates of the testing. Breeders typically show their Basenjis... some do performance events. This activity shows not only the correct conformation (showing) but that and/or performance shows temperament. If you have other questions, please contact me. You can find my email on my website link noted below. And I will comment as Debra said.. many breeder webs are not kept up to date, sad but true...I have always pushed that breeders keep their sites up to date as all "puppy back yard breeders do because people search the internet, but most you can find also on FB.

    Definitely go with Tanza's suggestion. Any breeder not listed there probably is not responsible. If you find litters, post here who you are looking at and talk to folks who have their line.

    @k1ng87: just a puppy (no show dog, just a pet too), although wouldn't mind an older dog either who is well behaved…I'll be a first time dog owner (my mom never allowed me to have one because of allergies) and heard they are great for individuals with allergies While they are good with some people with allergies, not so with everyone. Because they do shed and they do have dander, they can and do set off reactions with some people.

    My husband and I have been talking for a few months about adding a second Basenji to our family (we are the proud parents of a 2 as of this month Basenji mix). We have been watching BRAT but we also are considering going through a breeder, the reason for this is that we feel the best addition to our family would be a puppy under a year old. In our experience our little B girl has done best with puppies that are her size or smaller and she has spent time with since they were puppies (she is 13 lbs) or very mellow fully grown dogs (but even that is iffy). She does great with the dogs she has "grown up with".
