@janenpete Help us help you....
First: Understand that "most" of this seasons puppies are (more than likely) already spoken for. You might find an older dog who could be placed with you, but a puppy could be a year away.
Second: I (personally) wasted a lot of time online "hunting" for a Basenji, only to become frustrated. Try looking locally. Many breeders and dog enthusiasts become members at the local "Kennel Club". Contact them and ask if they have any members that own or breed Basenji's. Or, if they have anyone that "shows" Basenji's at the Club's Dog Show.
Third: Saying you want a pup is great, but if no one knows where you are.... connecting with the right person may never happen. So, tell us where you are, please.
