Male Basenji For Sale in Chicago, IL

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • If you are truly committed to him, then why not just buy an ex-pen or baby gate to restrict his access to the door in the dog room?

    Dogs and puppies are hardwork and if you have decided that you are just not up to that committment then it is best to rehome him now while he is still young and desirable. If you are truly interested in keeping him there are many people on these forums who work and successfully own basenjis. If you are going to place him please contact BRAT. They carefully screen their adopters and if at some point in the future he needs to be rehomed again then they will be there for him for life.

  • Just to reiterate what lvoss said, if you want suggestions on how to keep him in your family, we can help you with that. Lots of dogs stay in their crates while their owners work, and then enjoy a busy life with them when they are home.

    If you have decided that you just think he would truly be better off somewhere else, then BRAT can help you with that.

    In my opinion, you don't need to give up your dog because you both work full time…but if either one of you doesn't want to cope with having a dog, then rehoming is the best option.

  • BRAT will not turn any dog away for lack of breeder info. We are more concerned with what his temperment is. Here is a link to rehome your B. We will not pay for him though. If you are interested in finding a home, and the breeder will not take him back, then please consider surrendering him to BRAT. we do our best to find the best home for every B.

  • Hi.

    I am in Chicago, on the south side, and have family in West Suburbs, so if you need help basenji-proofing a room, I am willing to come out.
    Have you contacted the breeder? Most breeders have a clause in the contract that you have to bring the dog back to them if you cannot keep him.
    Who was your breeder?

    I don't think in reading his post that this was a breeder that used contracts since they did not get any registration information. And the parents were not health tested.

    I think that BRAT is the best choice for this baby

  • You are right Pat. I didn't read carefully.

    I didn't make any commentary before about the breeder, but I am of the same implied opinion as you, Ms. Pat. Twelve letters from the same parents???

  • Hi! I live in Racine, WI. I'm about an hour form chicago. I would like to meet him. I'm looking to adopt a basenji and would love to help you. Please let me know when we can meet. I would be willing to take him to the vet to see if he is clear of things and healthy. my number is 262-994-1427. thanks! i have a few more questions. If i do not answer please leave a message. I have a female basenji that I would like him to meet too. Perhaps we could set a play date to see if they get along and then we can chat then.

  • Wow, hopefully this will be a good match-up! I know of a couple of Forum match-ups that have worked out wonderfully!

  • I am in the chicago area and would be interested in Boss

  • I also am near Chicago and would be interested

  • Oh man, all I can say is this is so sad. :( I read previous messages and everything looked like the puppy, whether Fanconi and health tested or not, was going to be a forever addition to a (new) family. Maybe the puppy was pushed on someone, or maybe not enough was known about the breed. I just hope he can find his forever home through BRAT, which I would also say is the best choice in this situation.

    @yahtzee92 Just make sure you see Mom with the pups if at all possible and you definitely see the health certificates of both parents. OFA website is public domain - anyone can research on it. Tanza is right. Any puppy farmer can pay the BCOA and get listed. It doesn't mean there is any BCOA recommendation or guarantee.

    Hi rachel, I am looking to find a home for my basenji. Her name is Noel and she is 3 years old. She is a very good girl, lots of energy and very sweet. She knows basic commands. She just needs more time than I can give her. My recently had to take on my 6 month old granddaughter so Noel ends up spending tons of time in her crate. If you are interested you can contact me at my e-mail address jwlznewview@hotmail.com. I live in springfield IL.

    I think that many adopters would pay for the cost. And add to that if it is a situation that a person has contacted BRAT to give up the dog and he/she is not tested then they should be required to put up that fee. I think that BRAT does an excellent job in most respects, however this is one point that I really disagree with not testing. I am not sure that they would agree to test even if people covered the cost

    Are they DNA tested for Fanconi? Or the parents?

    @Roxy: And what's the most often phrase for breeding low quality folks like yourself? "I was drunk.":eek: nice punchline. This thread is out of hand.
