    Yes Sharron, I've been given good advice. Lots of it and all had the same goal, to help me make the best decision possible. I was just about to order this pup online. You can imagine that excitement… then the reality check of working with more responsible breeders put the brakes on that. Now, I don't mind taking a little longer and working with my local breeders and learning what to look for in a good pup. I'm lucky to have found this website. Jerry

    Sharron, I was initially concerned about buying a pup from a breeder online without meeting them or the pup first. Thanks to the responses of this forum, I learned a lot in a short time about the importance of choosing a good breeder nearby. I'm finding local picking slim now, I may just have to wait for next season.. Thanks J.

    Sharon, I take it in the spirit of Basenji love. I'm sure after going through my experience here I will be a better care giver of the right one for me.

    lisastewart, thanks for the suggestion of an older dog but I look forward to growing with my companion from their puppy stage.

    Yes lots of great info. Hopefully, it can benefit others in my situation that read this thread. Quite frankly, I got more advice than expected. It's good to see there are so many people that are dedicated to the success of this breed.

    Thanks for taking the time to explain things. You've given me a different way to view it. In all fairness to this shipping breeder, we did speak several times and I asked lots of questions, maybe she took that as confirmation of my seriousness to make the right decision regarding a basenji.

    She also provided a contract stipulating for any reason "if Purchaser can not provide the dog with a safe and reasonable home, Purchaser will provide Seller with a right of first refusal to retake the dog." So that's a positive.

    I'm still looking for a breeder nearby that has pups available. Seems like all local pups have been taken. I guess it's late in the season to pick a pup. Starting to expand my search.

    Thanks for the welcome and timely advice.

    Tanza, the breeder is Wybark Kennel out of Kansas. Checking the link for local breeders. Thank you.

    Thanks for your responses. I did check with the breeder on the health. She said this pup was a F carrier. But that was ok since I don't intend to breed her. I will check the OFFA website as well.

    I live in Charlotte and I thought there should be a breeders nearby but I didn't know where to look. Thanks for the suggestions I will look there before making this purchase.

    Hello All,

    I'd like to thank the members who have posted so much valuable information on this site. Because of it I feel very comfortable with my decision to add a Basenji to our family. I retired early and am looking forward to the companionship.

    Unfortunately, I can't find any pups close to where I live so I'm purchasing from a breeder online at puppyfind. I'm not happy about not meeting with the breeder and pup before purchase. They seemed ok to talk to but I'm still a bit skeptical. Especially about them shipping the pup on a plane, but I guess that's how it's done.

    I'm very excited about getting her this weekend. But I don't want to make a bad decision because of my enthusiasm.

    Again, thanks for all your help..

    Jerry
