All pups have been placed as responsible breeders have reservation lists. We are not at this time planning a litter for 2020 or 2021. I would be happy to talk to you about Basenjis. You can search for responsible breeders at www.basenji.org by state, however as far as I know all responsible breeders on the West Coast already have full reservation lists. You would be looking at litters possible in 2021. This is the time to connect with a responsible breeder and get on their reservation lists for 2021. And if you are looking for a dog that is hypoallergenic, Basenjis do shed and have dander so they are not really hypoallergenic. While they can do well with people with allergies, you need to spend time with them and more than one time. Be sure that you check out health testing yourself, regardless of what you might be advised. Tests for DNA testing is public knowledge at www.ofa.org. You need to have either a registration number or name to check this out for yourself to verify. I suggest all people looking for a Basenji, even my own, do this.
Great basenji mix on petfinder May be purbred

Great looking basenji mix just came out on petfinder . Some one looking for a mix should check him out. When they look that good they seem to go fast.

Something about his chest that looks "wishbone"... not a purebred trait. However, that might be an illusion from the angle he is posing in. He's kind of a goofball. But a loveable goofball.

You have to be joking ! I have seen innumerable wishbone fronts on purebreds in the show-ring when I have been judging ! Not good, a definite fault, but all too frequent in occurrence !

Really? I thought a (wider) chest that came out in front of the shoulders was part of the standard. (This is why I don't breed, I realize there is much about breeding that I do not yet know.)

You use the word yet - interesting ! I assume you are going to embark on a breeding spree very soon ? Good for Doodle !
There is nothing in the Standard about the chest coming out in front of the shoulders. . . I guess you mean, in the US standard "Slight forechest in front of point of shoulder. We don't have it in the UK standard. In fact it is interesting to compare the two Standards and then wonder if it is the same dog they are describing !
And sadly, @elbrant, NOT all Basenjis are bred to the Standard exactly - therein lies the fun in judging !

@elbrant - Here is a great resource for the Basenji standard http://www.tanzabasenjis.net/Illustrated_Standard.pdf

I really didn't mean to start a debate, I just saw the dog on pet finder and so many people are looking for basenjis , I thought someone would want to do there home work on it and give the homeless dog a loving home. I didn't say it was purbred. I just said it may be I figured the rest was up to the interested. This is not against the rules is it. If it was I am sorry if I overstepped.

No worries, you didn't do anything wrong. This is just "us". We all have thoughts that we share, oftentimes in opposition of one another, which means that any given thread could go many different ways.

I see the dog on petfinder is gone I hope that I helped it out of the pound , but who knows. I just hope it found A happy home.
