@Pilotbasenji:

pretty sure akc registered, ill get back to you as soon as i can, ill have to find out for sure if it was 1 month, but im absolutely positive that hes a purebreed basenji. besides the fact that hes not very bright, he got out once and chased a car down the street, ive read somewhere that basenjis like to chase cars.

Well, honestly, Basenjis are very bright… too bright for their own good, as they are a "thinking" dog being a sighthound. And while we lose Basenji to getting hit by cars, I personally don't know any that really like to chase them?.. they chase critters, other dogs, cats, and sometime leafs in the wind, but cars?... not usually... IMO... What you usually hear about Basenjis and cars is that they are not "car smart" in the street and don't respect cars.. as some dogs might

I think I might have to start my hunt from scratch. There is a good possibility I will move to Jamaica in the future so I called the customs office yesterday about dog policies. Since there hasn't been rabies on the island in 200 years they are REALLY strict. they only let dogs in from the UK and Ireland. Im soo mad :mad: . . . but I'm glad I found out now. Sooooo does anyone know any UK sources / breeders? ::SIGH:: I want to be an owner so bad

@tahj1024:

I have found links the the Basenji Club of America and a list of breeders. The closest one is about 4 hours away. I do see a number with a local area code listed as a rescue resource so I think I will give him a call to see if I can see some and spend a little time with a few. I really would like to raise a puppy but I would be open to getting one that is a year or 2 if I find the right one.

Wonderful news!!!!
