Looking for female red and white Basenji with full breeding rights.


  • I recived my male basenji Simba King of the Basenjis from Dee's Basenjis out of Texas. His father is Am Ch Asil Walkabout by Eldorado a Brindle and white HP086228/04 and his mother is Remba Naima Kibibi a red and white. I've talked to dee about a female Basenji and she said that she didn't know of any other breeders, said to check with the BCOA.
    I would love to show him but around Idaho there very little in the way of shows, I would like to get into the BOAC but I don't know of anyone to recommend me to get membership.

    @kimbertonhaynes:

    I don't want to cause problems on the forum, but could you message me with the name of the breeder in Arkansas. That is where we live and I really would like to avoid doing business with someone like that. Thanks.


  • Your best bet for finding a good breeder is to do the reseach yourself. You can verify health testing at www.offa.org and it is highly suggested that you do so when talking to different breeders and finding ones that health test for more then just Fanconi. If you go to www.basenji.org you can find this link that will tell you what kinds of questions that you should be asking a breeder.

    By the way, there is a good breeder in Idaho, Tis-A-'Senji that you could learn lots from about Basenjis, breeding, pedigrees, health, etc. You can find her contact information at www.basenji.org

  • Fanconi carrier can be bred to Fanconi clear. It's the Possible Affected's that should not be bred and Carrier should not be bred to Carrier. That said, please get advice from other breeders before you embark on this. It's not a way to make money. From what I'm seeing on these forums, most breeders are lucky to break even.

    I looked at the website for your bitches' breeder…I'm appalled at the idea of referring to pups as "products" as this breeder does. Also, on looking at the pictures of their pups, I see they refer to a Tri as a Black and White...ehh...huh?


  • There is a lot of good information here. Glad you found us. I do basenji rescue in Id.
    I am happy not to have anymore poorly bred b's show up in rescue. So thank you for not breeding your females.

    I will only say that in regards to breeding possible Affected, I disagree with not using them. Now, personally I would never use a possible Affected bitch, however I would and plan to in the future use possible Affected and/or collected Affected males. We can't afford to lose the gene pool by discounting these dogs. Granted you must breed to a Clear and you will get all Carriers, however management of these Carriers, bred back to clear, is IMO needed to not lose more out of the gene pool then we have already.


  • Ms. Pat, I would suggest that for experienced breeders with a complete understanding of genetics and the ability to look ahead to what will happen generations down the line. That is something for an advanced breeder with plans to stay active in the breed for decades. Somebody like yourself, for example.

    This lady sounds like a beginner, although she is doing her homework. That, in and of itself, is to be commended. However, until she is more seasoned, I would say use the KISS method. (Keep It Simple, Stupid)


  • While I would tend to agree, I think that it is important to put out there that we should never throw away baby with the bath water


  • @tanza:

    While I would tend to agree, I think that it is important to put out there that we should never throw away baby with the bath water

    Agreed. However, I stand by my statement regarding let beginners start out with stuff that's not too complicated. Keeping the gene pool active is the reason I suggested she consider her Carrier bitch for breeding as long as the Carrier status is the only reason for bypassing her.

    Tanza,

    Just curious about why you wouldnt use an Affected bitch, but would use a dog… Why not an Affected bitch ???


  • @saba:

    Tanza,

    It must be a charge on her. I would be affraid of her immune system and would be affraid there could be some complications during pregnancy. I would never risk that.


  • Now i'm just guessing here Irena but like you i would think that using an affected Bitch could put a strain on her system as pregnancy does. However maybe if it is a bitch that is classified as possibly affected and she is bred from early before she develops fanconi it is safe as long as she is bred to a clear?


  • Not a breeder, and don't plan on it, at least not for a decade or so, as I am just getting started in the breed.

    Nonetheless, I would probably guess it would be best to collect and neuter a probably affected male you plan to breed on to prevent the stress of rut from making his fanconi worse.

    If she would develops Fanconi it would be strain on her immune system in itself and if she would be pregnant further, it would be double strain on her.
    It is safe for puppies because they will be carriers (from clear father), but I'm not sure it is safe for female, it is my opinion.


  • @irena:

    It must be a charge on her. I would be affraid of her immune system and would be affraid there could be some complications during pregnancy. I would never risk that.

    Yes, exactly Irena…. I would not put a bitch through the stress breeding, delivery, raising a litter and/or complications during pregnancy. I would be afraid that breeding/whelping could bring on early onset if they were DNA Affected... and if already spilling, I would never put that added stress on them.

    The males that I would consider using are mostly already collected (and many of those dogs have already passed on)..... I am not sure that I would use a male that was spilling, but a young dog, not spilling I would maybe consider


  • As some of you may know i have recently had a litter from Tilly (who was tested as Probably Affected) - she was of course mated to a clear dog (tested clear twice), only after discussion with lots of respected breeders throughout the world, and with our vet, we decided that to mate her was safe as she had no indication of developing Fanconi, and as she was only 2, very unlikely that any syptoms would manifest (though i understand not absolutely impossible).

    She had 9 (yes 9) healthy puppies on December14th - reared them all herself, absolutely trouble free whelping, and all are now about to go to their new homes this week. She has almost got her figure back in time for Crufts next month, and she will be spayed before her next season. I respect the opinions of those who say they wouldnt mate an affected bitch, but all circumstances in each case have to be taken into account, and in our case i was happy that i was not endangering Tilly herself, and all pups should be unaffected as they will be Carriers - all being tested before they leave for new homes anyway.
    I certainly wouldnt have considered waiting till her next season, as the risk would have been greater.

    A quick google search yielded this site: www.eurobreeders.com. Search breeds, then B, then look for Basenji. There where many breeders that popped up including a couple in Italy, which isn’t too far I suppose. I have no idea about Basenji breeding in Europe though. Do your homework.

    @helle-devi Thank you for responding. I have already been in touch with the basenji sisters. I was not aware before I contacted them that they are located in CA. I think the distance between us is too great. If things didn’t work out between my basenji and one of their girls, the distance would be a problem. I did become a member on the Facebook site that you recommended. Thank you so much! I was unaware that such a site existed. Jo Ann

    Please do plenty of research before making a decision to have a Basenji. Where are you in the UK? - if near to me you are welcome to visit my Basenjis and talk Basenji talk. I'm no longer breeding but I think it's important to visit Basenji homes before making decisions. As Benkura says there don't seem to be any female pups available at present. The plus of that is that you've plenty of time to see as many Basenjis as you can. Most breeders are like me and would be pleased for you to visit with their Basenjis.

    Hi, I talked to my daughter last night and she really does not want me to find him another home, even though he's making her sick, (she's allergic to him). She threatened to leave home if I did. She's 18 so she could. I guess we will try and keep him. The good news is I did find a place that will pick up and drop off dogs, take them for long walks in the woods, and let them play with other dogs for the day. All for just $17.00 a day. So at least he's not in a crate for 9 hours any more and he seems to really enjoy it. He runs to the person right away and is excited to go and comes back very happy and tired.

    @dmcarty: Understanding however that breeding carriers to clear is the option that allows to include the widest genetic diversity. Breeding only clear to clear reduces the diversity in the population - shade of what happend to the breed during some of the other health concerns like HA, PRA and Malabsorbtion. Hopefully we learned that throwing the baby out with the bath water is not the most effective way of keeping valuable traits while eliminating health concerns. +1…I could not agree with you more!

    FWIW, they never contacted me or I could have helped them out. After a single post though they may not even be on the forum anymore.
