I think Tanza is spot on. Not sure where you are, but the Basenji Nationals are in Tucson in November. Assuming it's possible, I can't think of a better way to find a good breeder than to attend.
Looking for a Basenji Pup in Southern CA

My husband and I are looking for a Basenji pup in Southern California - or within driving distance. We almost accepted a scam offer so we are in deep need of a reliable breeder! We can't wait to welcome this pup into our home!

Please go to basenji club of america for a list of breeders. If a breeder is not listed there, you can be pretty sure they are not a responsible breeder.
