www.basenji.org you can search for breeders by state. There is also a link on how to "vet" breeders, question you should ask. https://www.basenji.org/learn/ScreeningBreeders.htm
Also check out health testing yourself. You need to have the registration numbers and/or registration name and you can check at www.ofa.org
Here is the link for questions to ask breeders. Do not just "take" their word for testing, check it out for yourself. Here is a link to one of my girl with her health testing results https://www.ofa.org/advanced-search?f=sr&appnum=1415062
Looking for a rescue basenji in Texas
-
We lost our beloved Lexi a month ago, leaving us with a hole in our hearts and our basenji mix boy without a companion. He has had a companion since birth and is lost without a playmate. I have applied to BRAT and Camp Basenji. I have gotten welcome emails from BRAT but nothing from Camp Basenji. There is a BRAT in Texas but he would not be a good fit for us. We are not looking for a senior dog having just lost our 16 year old. We are looking for a cuddler who is house trained and gets along with other dogs as we go to the dog park frequently as well as grand pup sit for our sons when they go on trips.

BRAT has a number of Basenjis who are not quite ready for adoption, make sure that you reply to BRAT's welcome email, let them know what you have just told the Forum. Have you checked Colorado Basenji Rescue http://www.coloradobasenjirescue.org/index.shtml they do have a young female.

You can contact nearby breeders to see if they have any older Basenjis (returns, failed show dogs, never going to be bred) in need of a home. The Basenji Club of America web site has breeder information by State but you should email Denise, the breeder contact, for additional breeder information.

Pam has been dealing with a great many issues, but I am sure she will respond soon.

Thanks! I totally get having issues to deal with. I hope all gets better for her and will patiently await for her reply.

Colorado is too far for me and I want to be able to pick up the Basenji instead of having someone else transport him/her. Thanks for the info though.
