For Sale: Basenji pups For Sale in Nampa ID


  • Sorry, Quercus, there is some debate as to the real "basenjiness "of these puppies.
    They might be african, but if they are b's they have NOT been accepted by the folks who allow new basenji blood into the BCOA.
    Sorry Marie, I know you want to do what you want to do, but if many folks opionions, your breeding african dogs.

    I know Sharron. I have seen this all evolve from the beginning :) That is why I described the breeder as "unorthodox" :)


  • @DebraDownSouth:

    If there is health testing, why not share it upfront?

    removed…changed my mind.....


  • NOPE, I have to disagree. Health testing is upfront and out there.
    Not disclosing is a RED flag.


  • I guess I never want to make anyone work to find out if I have tested, or wonder.


  • @DebraDownSouth:

    If there is health testing, why not share it upfront?

    Health testing: Whatever I have done through OFA is on there. As for other tests and health issues, any serious potential buyer will get all the info I have to give. What they do with this info is up to them. I am not a show breeder and right now not an AKC breeder, have had a UKC litter but lagging on the registrations. My market is not the same as some other resposible breeders. I am looking for appropriate homes for great (and healthy) dogs from Benin West Africa. Some are UKC, some may be submitted for AKC in order to help the domestics, but that is a side project. The BCOA is behind in areas on familial disease particularly in the DLA area, ie genetic diversity, MHO. Some diseases are fairly common but not talked about unless someone asks specifically about it. So a BCOA blessing is not state of the art. Additionally there are no tests for most disorders. A full battery of tests doesnt guarantee against serious disease. So when you get these results for your prospective pup you also deserve to find out about other issues.

    My Fanconi test on Apollo is Prob Neg but I have been told there was a mixup in that batch so I have to resubmit. If you just looked at OFA you would think he had been definitively tested. Macho and Apollo IIRC have had their hips done which were Excellent. The pups are almost ready to have their hips done, but I do question the idea of spending a lot of money on this test. OFA okays breeding down to the FAIR level. That isnt very selective and includes almost every dog in the registry. We have small fit dogs with low likelihood of hip problems even in their inbred state, even if they score FAIR. So I might wait til I get a job and not dig into my retirement (I was laid off June 2009) to get this done by age 2. My contract covers all contingencies I can think of and any the customer thinks of. I have been a little scrambled becoming a breeder WAY before I wanted to (long story) and this is my first planned litter. Meanwhile I have been in MD looking for Macho and looking for a job. This breeding was done for a person with another Benin dog who wants to breed without inbreeding so it works out for both of us. I need to find good homes for the "extra" 3 dogs.

    I will verify that I am behind in Fanconi testing to be corrected as soon as the kits get here. I will tell you that all the imports are PK normal.


  • @lvoss:

    Anyone can go to the OFA website and search Avuvi to see what health testing has been done on dogs with that prefix. Since these dogs are Avuvis that should bring them up. If not, hopefully enough information to verify testing will posted.

    It is recommended that anyone interested in buying a puppy use the OFA website to verify health testing.

    Apollo and Camacho (sic) were mistakenly entered by their call names (spouse means well) so if you are looking for hips or other tests you might not find them under Avuvi.

    No one has to work to find out the health issues but I am limiting all information to serious buyers in order to limit needless exposure of these dogs to erroneous speculation which I then have to answer. I dont have time, or interest, to be honest, to rehash this debate yet again. Anyone who wants to know and is serious can email me. If you presume I dont have what you want, then you wont be emailing me and we can save each other some time. All these debates are in the archives of several groups.

    I should add that the puppy prices are gauged to help me finance puppy health testing that is usually not required for the nonbreeding pet owner. This is for the Avuvi project. I think the price barely covers these tests. They are also bargain priced for not being AKC and in some cases UKC. This matters very little in my area, but I am a motivated seller who wants to find the right homes. These are special dogs and need someone who will be a good companion for and appreciate the dog.

    I also keep DNA parentage records on all the dogs including African mothers, except Ekanye II - apparently I did not have enough good stuff on the swab. So no pedigree issues. I wont be sneaking any non AKC dogs into the registry.

    A red flag, yes, that someone should ask about. I have all the answers available to serious inquirers. If someone just wants to speculate and gin up gossip, the less I say the better. I have anticipated most if not all questions and have answers, satisfactory or not.


  • @Quercus:

    I know Sharron. I have seen this all evolve from the beginning :) That is why I described the breeder as "unorthodox" :)

    Unorthodox is an appropriate adjective. I want to do the best for my dogs. It wont match all of what show breeders do, but health is key. They arent in the AKC bc they havent been submitted yet. We have some time last I checked.


  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Sorry, Quercus, there is some debate as to the real "basenjiness "of these puppies.
    They might be african, but if they are b's they have NOT been accepted by the folks who allow new basenji blood into the BCOA.
    Sorry Marie, I know you want to do what you want to do, but if many folks opionions, your breeding african dogs.

    Not sure what you said here Sharron so I cant answer.


  • @Quercus:

    I know Sharron. I have seen this all evolve from the beginning :) That is why I described the breeder as "unorthodox" :)

    No disrespect but no one has seen this evolve from the beginning the way I have. You werent in Africa with me. You dont know what I am thinking or what my goals are.

    It finally occurred to me that I dont have to tell everybody everything on demand. My responsibility is to the dogs, the puppy people and the Avuvi project in that order. The AKC and show folks come last.

    Sorry Marie, I know you want to do what you want to do, but if many folks opionions, your breeding african dogs.

    It is very very difficult for a dog to get into the AKC without the owner applying for consideration and so far no one has completed the process. We have time. We arent in a big hurry. Sorry.


  • @DebraDownSouth:

    Why not post the health though?

    The not AKC I guessed had to do with breeding African stock that isn't accepted into the registry. Since I am not a breeder, not going to question that as really, I don't want to know lol. But again, why wouldn't she just post the health testing?

    The minute you are interested you get all the info that isnt on OFA. Oh, and you have to give me your identity and convince me you know what you are doing, considering a basenji much less an African.


  • Health results are important but they certainly arent everything important to the pup owner or the breeder. So far we have had an ad for pups followed by a lot of comments many of which have come up before, all about health results, nothing else, nothing about temperaments, socialization, behaviors to look for, differences between Africans and domestics, what a buyer needs to be able to provide that might not be in the breed books. Also references to other Avuvi and Avongara breeders. I'm sad the discussion on you all's side has stalled out since 2006 or earlier.

    If I dont know YOUR info, you will get nothing from me that isnt out there for everyone.

    I also have some info in the CPP but need to catch up on it.


  • I'm not a breeder, just a basenji lover, and while I care about the dog's health, the papers that are often included with a purebred offer peace of mind, and then they are shoved into the back of a desk drawer. Being a purebred with papers doesn't mean that the dog's health is 100% clear… as evident if you look up my Lola in the OFA database (her birth name is Halo, Dec 2008).

    I'm still wanting pictures, because there's nothing more adorable than basenji puppies! :)


  • @rmholt:

    The BCOA is behind in areas on familial disease particularly in the DLA area, ie genetic diversity, MHO. Some diseases are fairly common but not talked about unless someone asks specifically about it.

    BCOA focuses on health issues for which it has data that there is a significant issue. The only way they have to know if a problem is significant in the breed is through self reporting on the CPP site or through the data reported to the club by OFA or CERF.

    If you have data about the incidence of this familian disease please submit it. If it is statistically significant the BCOA health committee would be interested.

    @rmholt:

    OFA okays breeding down to the FAIR level. That isnt very selective and includes almost every dog in the registry. We have small fit dogs with low likelihood of hip problems even in their inbred state, even if they score FAIR.

    This is not a accurate summary of the OFA database and breeding recommendations. OFA's database is only semi-open. They only list abnormal results by request of the owner. It is also important to keep in mind that some people will not submit results that they feel will get an abnormal rating so with any test where the owner can see the result or guess at the result of the test prior to submission there may be some skewing of the data due to lack of submission of suspect results.

    As for the OFA breeding recommendations, they recommend that breeders use vertical pedigrees to make breeding decisions and provides a link to the vertical pedigrees. It is there recommendation that it is better to breed to a FAIR from a family of mostly GOODs ands EXCELLENTs then it is to breed to a GOOD or EXCELLENT from a family of mostly FAIR and Dysplastic. Of course, this means that a breeder has to actually have vertical data instead of just horizontal data to make a decision.

    I certainly didn't say that I had seen or knew more about this project than you. I was simply making it clear that I am aware of the controversy surrounding your dogs and whether or not they are Basenjis. I wouldn't even pretend to know what you are thinking; but you do a pretty thorough job of defending your choices, even if nobody else agrees with your defense. I say "unorthodox" because you do exactly what you want to do, and don't give a damn what anybody else thinks, knows, or believes…I would call that unorthodox. That is really the kindest description I can come up with....


  • @rmholt:

    I will verify that I am behind in Fanconi testing to be corrected as soon as the kits get here. I will tell you that all the imports are PK normal.

    I wasn't going to wade in, but wtheck.

    1. My experience is if you post an ad, either you post what is done or you don't post anything hoping for naive takers who won't know what to ask or where to look. Only people hiding things leave it out.

    2. Tests don't guarantee, but if you test and things go bad, you did your job. If you don't test, then it's on you. Bottom line.

    3. You really may want, as a breeder, to learn more about CHD. A FAIR DOG is no more likely to throw a puppy with CHD than an excellent. Period. In fact, the entire litter of each parent is far more predictive than the individual parent. According to OFA, a dog with a fair rating is LESS likely to produce CHD if their littermates had less than 25 percent chd than an EXCELLENT who has more than 25 percent CHD.

    So when I look at a pup, I look at all the sire/dam litter mates. It is why I require puppy owners, even of pets, to do OFA. As a breeder, I need that information for my program. People who say "we don't have xyz" in our line, but really only test very few are blowing smoke. (Rottweilers btw, not basenji)

    And while Basenji's are low, with 3.2 abnormal, only 2252 have ever been tested! I can't tell you the breeds who declare "not a problem" and then with routine testing found it was triple the early stats.

    Behind in Fanconi testing on dogs you are breeding? If so, well… passing it back to the Basenji breeders.

    Okay so I don't repeat myself over and over... please avoid puppymills/byb pages. Go only to the the basenji club for a list of breeders, use this link"" http://basenjiclubofgb.org/breeders.php Even THEN check out the breeders. As for champdogs site... when a site allows anyone to post if they pay a fee, not a good source. If all you need is a fee and one health test to be approved to be a member, not a good site if you are looking for well bred dogs from responsible breeders. Memtuka keeps protesting.. but this info is directly from her own pages. If she has more testing, then she lacks the professionalism to comprehend that people knowledgeable about breeding would never leave out tests, nor expect puppy buyers to look for further tests. As it is, it is woeful. As is her comment that she tests only if going to breed. A good breeder tests every single dog they produce and keep because they want to know what is in the line. In response to noodle a day ago reply quote @DebraDownSouth Really??? I don't know where you are getting your misinformation from. You seem to know who I am but continue to hide behind your moniker. The stud dogs I used ARE health tested and as far as I am aware Champdogs is a reputable website. May I suggest that you check your facts yet AGAIN and retract your libelous comments.<< I am getting my info from YOUR OWN PAGES. So if your dogs are tested more than I wrote, may I suggest you correct YOUR PAGES which is where I got, and said I got, my info from. Libelous when it is your pages, that's pretty funny. All anyone has to do is click on each of your dog's individual pages and see you list only the testing I said, with only the import with significant testing. Too silly to even respond to the moniker comment.. from someone whose name here is "noodle". Most breeders here use their kennel or real names, btw. As for info on your own pages.. members can simply click and verify.. or check screencaps below. I do hope if you actually have more testing, you will care enough about the image you are portraying of a breeder who has almost no health testing done on your first bitch, nor any listed for the studs of the litters. Lazy or impressively uninformed about the importance, I don't know. 2011 Litter: YOUR PAGE: ... Absolutely doesn't say sire is tested,on either litters YOU LIST.. see screen cap below. Her "health tested" lists only Fanconi. You say PPM, but it isn't listed. Sadly, you act like that is BIG..but yet, it isn't. Your import has testing, so it isn't like you aren't aware how much needs to be done. But again, you only list Fanconi. No PRA, hip, thyroid, heart, nothing else.

    Breeding once a year actually is not a problem health wise. Breeding to produce pets for income… not so much.
