UK Members - Beautiful Basenji Pup

  • @jules:

    the owner is going to email me her details later

    That's good.

  • Must not look. Must not look. Must not look. :eek:

    Surely the breeder (if decent) would take her back?

    They should do but I have heard of a few basenji's where this doesnt happen :(

    Can't be much of a breeder then. Poor pup. :( How could anyone with any decency not be bothered about where their baby might end up? So sad.

  • Coud it be a con? :confused:

    Look at the picture, it's beside at least one other B, and it has issues with it? :-/ Unless that's a breeders pic or something.

  • I've just realised who has this puppy and also who bred it:rolleyes:

    Both peeple are members on here.

    It's one from this litter http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=8524

    Hmmm. And who has the puppy just now? Poor thing, passed about from pillar to post and it's just a baby still.

  • How sad… It's a lovely pup, I hope she finds her forever home soon!

  • She's beautiful, i do hope she finds a good forever home with people who understand Basenjis.

  • Poor wee mite! No wonder most good basenji breeders are so thorough when they vet potential owners. I hope she finds a really good home soon.

  • Things can always go wrong with rehoming pups and sometimes they cant stay in their new homes, we had one lab puppy who had to come back to us when the owner broke her back - very sad situation for everyone concerned… But hopefully if the breeder of this baby didnt know their pup is being sold on they will read this thread and contact the owners to take it back.

  • I wonder what has happened to the littermate that she also has/had!!

  • It's awful when things don't work out. Lets hope this little girl finds a great home soon.

  • The advertiser is a member of this forum who seems quite a genuine person.

    Unfortunately, the breeder (the link above) placed two puppies with her - I consider this was totally irrreponsible and taking advantage of a not very knowledgeable but kind person. I'll contact somebody who helped the breeder in the past and see if I can find out more.

    If Katty reads this, perhaps she would like to get in touch with Basenji Rescue they may have a home for this puppy - in any case they would take over the responsibility.

  • :( I sure hope this sweet puppy finds a good home.

    Ahh, i know who the owner is now. I remember the discussions about many peoples concerns of her taking on littermates.. Lets hope that was not the reason for this little one being rehomed.

  • From the ad that was posted, it is not the littermate that is the issue it is the basenji female she had gotten the year before that is having an issue having a second basenji female in the house. This is a frequent issue in basenjis and one reason why so many people on this list caution against same sex placements especially with inexperienced owners.

    Exactly… and you need to be careful when you bring a puppy into a house that has an adult... regardless of age... but the older they are, sometimes the harder it is to introduce them... and many are not made totally aware of the adult and the "training" that they will do with the puppy ... Many take this as they will never get along... not always the case... and you can never totally prepare anyone for the noises that can come from the adult to a baby puppy....

  • aww adorable! wish i was in the UK, hope the pup finds a home she can settle into.

  • that really is so sad - 11 weeks old and already looking for a new home. the breeder should be ashamed of themselves for (a) placing 2 pups in the same home on a "spur of the moment" purchase and (b) for presumably not following up the placement and taking the wee girl back. Lets hope she finds a good home soon.

    Cute pup. She has all the markings of a basenji. Sometimes a little mix of another breed in her is good. It will help with not having the genetic problems basenjis have.

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.
  • Basenji or...not?

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.
