    I've been interested in basenjis since I learned about them last year. Now I've decided we are ready to welcome one into our home. I live 45 mins south of Houston but wouldn't mind driving a reasonable distance for a reputable breeder. I am already aware of all the genetic problems and testing that need to be done on this breed. If anyone knows of a good trustworthy breeder anywhere close to me please let me know. Im also in no rush so I wouldn't mind being added to a wait list. Thanks!

    Please consider adopting a rescue today! www.basenjirescue.org.
    Fill out the adoption application to get started.

    Thanks!

    Alright thanks! I looked into rescues last night but I only found a few in my area. I'll go fill out an application though and see if there may be a dog near by that can join our family.

    I'm going pick up a brand-new puppy from south Texas this Thursday! The breeder has a few puppies that have not been sold yet. She has plenty of info on her site: Dee's Basenjis

    Go to the "Puppies now available" on top. You can't have mine though ;)

    The Basenji Club of America has a breeder directory on the website. Have you checked there yet?

    One thing that I have learned in life is to accept that things are not all black or all white. Life is shades of gray and just because someone sees a different shade of gray than you do, it doesn't mean their shade is right or wrong, its just different. ~ Robyn Dubbert

    Please look into a higher quality food. The breeder feeds Pedigree. You can compare foods at this website. They rate dog foods based on a star system ranging from 1 to 6 (best). Pedigree is a 1 star food. There are better choices that these puppies should be fed.

    Jayden is one of Deesbasenjis. He was a year old 31st of Dec and I got him in March. Dee is really nice lady and Jayden great puppy into everything but good. Had trouble with him and the kennel did not like sleeping in it but in time that went away. I flew from Kansas to Texas and Dee drove and brought me Jayden to the airport super nice of her. I seen the other day she had one male red and white left. Let me know if you get one.

    @bbozer:

    My name is Braden and I have an available litter of puppies in Arlington, Tx. This is my first litter so I am not sure if I would fall under the reliable breeder title that you are looking for. But I have a post that you can look at on my available puppies and parents history under Basenji puppies available Arlington, Texas. Good luck in your search for you basenji I love this breed and I hope you find the perfect dog for your home.

    A litter that you apparently haven't had health tested…

    @debradownsouth - Correct Debra, many breeders will say that and there is really nothing to stop them. However check out Sally's pedigree sight the only ones that are noted with the DNA results for Fanconi or PRA are the ones that were tested by OFA, not any of the ones noted as clear by parents. There is really nothing wrong with saying clear by parents but each breeder makes their own decision about this. For me, I would prefer to test.

    Michael Graves gave me a more inclusive list of breeders in Texas. Looks like the BCOA website might need to be updated. His list seems to capture the same people yall are recommending. I spoke to Anne and she has a few adults, but likely not a good match. She is 8 hours away too, so going to try and see what is available closer. Planning to reach out to your suggestions and his list this weekend. Thank you all!

    @nomrbddgs: I did find a lady for you, unfortunately, Luther is sick and has taken a turn for the worse recently, so that meeting was cancelled even before I could tell you. I haven't found anyone else remotely close. Sorry!!! Thanks very much! We greatly appreciate your help. Let us know if you hear of any other Saskatchewan Basenjis for us to meet!

    If funds are an issues, you can do what I used to do before BRAT came along. Find out the vet of the family your placing him with, have the family pay you for your expenses and then take the dog to the new familys vet for the surgery to be fixed. Drop the dog off the day of the surgery and then new owners pu the dog. They get to pay the bill. That makes sure the dog is fixed, sets up a new vet record for the new dog in the family, and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. Mostly, you know the surgery WILL BE DONE. Thanks for making sure he is fixed before rehoming. That is so important.
