@DebraDownSouth:

You have a 4 yr old neutered (heads up NOT A STUD) male, no health testing on parents, his papers mean diddly squat since he is a pet, and you want about $200 bucks less for this PET as someone can get for a well bred, health tested puppy? Okay then.

Let me give you a few suggestions.
1. If you can, keep this dog and find time to run him early in morning and night. He'll enjoy your exercising him more than he ever did playing in a yard alone.
2. If you cannot keep him, the contact either the BREEDER (unless that his who abused him?) or place him with BRAT and let them find him a wonderful home.

You aren't likely going to recoup $600 vet bills. That is just part of having a pet. Most rescues have wonderful Basenjis, equally up to date on shots and neutered, for half of that or less.

I applaud that you want a good home for him, btw. It is obvious you want what is best, but the price just floored me.

First of all,
Your tone and rudeness is so uncalled for and honestly a short "you may want to change your asking price" would safice.

Second of all, I've been waiting on BRAT for a week now.

So anyway, thanks for the advice even if you did come off a little um, abrupt.

@tanza:

Have you spoken with his breeder? Most responsible breeders have contracts that require that if a pup needs to be given up, they go back to the breeder.

Also, has he been DNA tested for Fanconi?

His original Breeder is now MIA. No one can seem to find her which really concerns me. And the lady that originally took him as a puppy said he was VERY head shy and you could see every rib in his body which when I took him in, was still aparent.

He has been DNA tested and he is Negative for Fanconi.

Rev is a 4 year old, Fixed, 22lb, BEAUTIFUL, pure bred Basenji with papers. [barkless dog]
I've just recently moved back home with my mother and sister so space has become very limited; where Rev is used to playing outside in my old fenced in yard everyday, He has become sort of neglected since my work schedule has finally picked up. Supporting him is no problem as he is UTD with all his shots and vet checks.
He would be better off with ONLY FEMALES in the house hold since he was abused as a puppy and does NOT take to men easily.
He loves playing with other dogs his size and adores my baby bunny.
He is okay with older kids also.
He absolutly LOVES riding in the car
Kenneling him for a long period of time, is NOT an option, trust me. So someone that is always home is preferred.
Someone with excellent knowledge of this breed is a must, so you know what to expect.

I am asking a fee, basically to just cover the vet costs over the last couple years. He has EVERYTHING included. Kennel[he hates] most of his 30.1 lb bag of purina beneful he loves, leash collar, toys bones, treats, bowls, PAPERS.

A visit to the possible new parents of my baby boy will be a must. I'd hate to see him go to anyone that does not deserve this stud
