Top USA Breeders?

Breeder Talk
  • With the risk of causing some trouble, I'm interested in what the "top" breeders are in USA, and with top I mean a breeder that has several Bs that have done really well in shows, or that have an exceptionally great personality.

    Hope this question, nor potential replies will offend anyone…

  • I think its a good question…shouldn't offend anyone. Sadly, I don't know.

  • Done well in the US or done well across the many ponds? And I assume you mean breed only - not performance? Done well in US I would say: Eldorado, Adventureland, Jasiri/Sukari to name a few that have multiple Group winners
    or Best In Show winners in the past year or so. As for temperamant - I can not say have not met any of their top dogs in person. Perhaps if you could clarify what exaclty you are looking for in the query - we could hone in better on a reply.

    And then more of present day breeders is Klassic, Kazor, Sonbar, Arubmec, Signet, Taji, Platimum, Ankhu, Jokuba, Zuri (although they have not been breeding much recently)

    Advertureland in the dog's name would be seen as AB.

  • Thank you for your replies! Now an entirely different question that I maybe should make a new thread for, but that I feel some of you might still be able to find and answer here:

    Do you know of plans to import from Congo in the future and how to get in contact with the right people to take part in such an adventure?

  • Email me privately and I can hook you up with some contacts. sinbaje@comcast.net

    Interesting. Our Shaun is the product of two of the breeders on your list: Taji and Platinum. Both Katie and MaryK have really impressed us with their program, long term devotion to the breed, great communication, and above all their wonderful dogs…

    Add Meisterhaus to this list :)

    @timothyhanselman If on FB, you may want to join BASENJIS in need: Golden Opportunity. There are some adults looking for homes right now. https://www.facebook.com/groups/375245789899780 And as one of the posts advises: "Stay patient. A lot of inexperienced people are buying puppies they are ill prepared for, from greeders who do not take their basenjis back. I suspect in the next 6-8 months we might see/learn of an influx of basenjis needing homes." Alas.... :frowning_face:

    Yes, Arlene, you do need at some point to take a stand and trust what you see and what you like… Breeding comes down to that in the end.... And with a bitch that is only 1 1/2 yrs looking down from the top is not a very good judge... IMO... reason?... They are not mature yet... and they shouldn't be.... their ribs have not even "sprung" at this age.. again IMO.... I would be hard pushed to say a dog is "wider" in the front then the rear at this age by just looking down on them.... again IMO.... Here is a link to 3 pictures of Kobey, 6wks, 3 months and 5 1/2 months... everything I saw on this pup at 6 wks that I liked (and that is a bit early then the 8 wks usually used for evaluating pups) I still see... but there are differences while growing... Now granted this pup is one of the few that has yet to really fall apart with a growing spurt... And also the faults that I saw at 6wks are still there too..... www.tanzabasenjis.net/kobeygrowing.html
