Breeder in southern British Columbia or northern Washington

  • Q

    Hello there,

    This is my first post on this forum but I have been avidly reading everything Basenji related I could get my hands on. My boyfriend and I are just starting to seriously consider adding a dog to our family and I fell in love with Basenji's when I first saw one online.

    We would very much like to visit a breeder or owner in our area to determine how my boyfriend reacts (allergies) and to actually get to see some Basenji's and interact with them before we make any major decisions. If anyone has some contact information for someone in our area that wouldn't mind letting us visit, please feel free to contact me. My email is kljones5@hotmail.com

    Thanks very much!

    ETA: My boyfriend is quite allergic to cats, so would prefer a home with no felines so we can get a clear idea of how he reacts to just Basenjis. Thanks!

    There's several breeders here in the northwest, here in Washington the following spring to mind:

    Jumoke Basenjis http://www.jumoke.com/jumoke.htm
    Taji Basenjis http://www.ktcampbell.com/taji/index.html
    FoPaw's Basenjis http://www.fopawsbasenjipuppies.com/
    Avant Basenjis http://uwinferno.tripod.com/basenji/index.html

    There's more at: http://www.evergreenbasenjiclub.org/breeders.html

    The only ones I know of in BC are:
    Bajoran Basenjis
    Terrarust Basenjis (http://www.terrarust.com/)
    Orru Basenjis

    The Canadian national Basenji club would be able to refer you to a breeder in your area.

    Basenji puppies can be somewhat of a… handful - even my two who are well past the puppy stage can get mischievous. There's plenty of older dogs needing good homes both from breeders and rescue, so there's always that option too.

    You might find that a lot of breeders and exhibitors are at Nationals so you might not get any replies until next week as they run until September 5th.

    You can also try Deb Verzyl of Orru Basenji's. She's in BC as well. Deb is not breeding currently as her hubby is sick and she has a full plate with racing, school (she's a teacher) and her other activities. But she may be able to direct you in the direction you may want to go. She is the curret VP of the Basenji Club of Canada. Her published e-mail is orru@seaside.net

    I assume you mean for next winter's litters ? Nothing available at all right now - all this winter's crop will have been promised long since and be leaving the nest soon if they aren't already resettled. However, if you email me (see signature block - email addresses are on the websites) I will send you a list of Breed Club secretaries.

    Confused. Really. We have breeders listed in AKC, and in breed clubs. OFA maintains health certifications. Why reinvent the wheel? It's unlikely breeders who haven't tested or didn't report bad results will just open up to you. Then you have Sally's database...which is extensive. A look at her work on just Basenjis might give you an idea of the enormity of what you want to do. So I really must be missing what your reasons and goals are.

    @cheryl-goodman - Have you talked to your girl's breeder? Have you completed all health testing and recorded it with www.offa.org as public record, especially DNA testing for Fanconi and PRA? Have you done any showing or performance events with your girl?

    @nkjvcjs: Sorry we didn't see you yesterday. It was a ball though. I loved seeing all of the dogs run. Katie got to do a practice run, which was great! I am so sunburned, but I can't wait to go to another trial! -Nicole I didn't set up the table until the end of the day until most of the people left because they needed me to be paddock master. I even skipped doing a puppy practice run with Zoni because I was so sunburned…even after putting SPF 55 on 4 times! It was still fun though. There are probably other trials in the IL area if you check the afsa and akc sites. The MidWest Coursing Club usually holds either an afsa or akc trial each year, last year it was at the Greater Racine Kennel Club, which is not too far from IL. http://midwestcoursing.homestead.com/index.html The BCOSW will have a fun day in July 11th in Rockford, and I think they will have the lure equipment there for some fun runs.

    @Nemo: Here's the link. http://www.basenji.org/learn/ Go to "screening breeders" at the top. That is a great list…and great explanations of why those questions are important.
