Anyone know this breeder?

  • So as I understand it: This fund can be used not just to help buy a basenji so it can be properly placed BUT we can also designate some of the money for a case such as the one that Pat mentioned, where a rescue organization such as Medfly or Brat has a dog that needs some specialized medical care or surgery?

    If so, this certainly seems like a great solution.

  • Pat, it won't be up to me. I am pretty sure you all have that point. laugh.
    I think it will be up to forum Admin and the forum members.

    I, for one, think it would be a good thing to help…whatever this group deems worthy. Be it a single dog, or a basenji group who has a special needs.

    You are absolutely correct. Members will decide which cause to donate to, but it will need to be run by the forum staff first and the fundraising process will be managed by Sharron.

  • I have the foster home all set up for this move tomorrow.
    All we have to do is touch bases after you get the dog.
    Can you bring him up to Silverdale?
    Please post to me at home.
    My foster mom will be on standby from 3pm on…

  • Harley, is a big, oversized basenji of very sweet temperment.
    The foster family is delighted at his sweetness and loving to ride in the car!
    The former owners have done a very nice job socialized him.
    I think JoNell will be posting some photos soon.
    YOU ALL DID GOOD!
    You helped a sweet basenji boy go into a nice basenji smart family.
    THANK YOU.

  • I meant to add that JoNell and her friend did a great job, to post this boy to you, and to go get him from the sellers home.
    Yea!!!!!!!
    A very nice basenji boy we can place in a good home.
    Yea!!!!!
    You all probably can't tell how happy I am!!!
    Hugs to you all.

  • I have the paperwork from the pet shop if anyone wishes to contact me off forum, unless you want me to put it here..I am thinking maybe not??
    Anyway, the top of the form says BJ's and Guys and in the center of the form, looks very much like the AKC forms I have seen says this puppy is registered with the American's Pet Registry.
    So, private inquires will be answered.
    go to the BRAT site and click on the Wa person, if you need to contact me…
    Again, hugs to all.

  • Harley is a VERY SWEET boy, based on my brief meeting with him. My friend and her daughter, who actually drove him to meet the BRAT contact, fell madly in love in just that short time.
    She repeatedly said, "If I didn't have such a cranky old fart for a husband, I'd keep him myself." LOL She was so emotional about him, and is hopeful he will find just the right home.

    I'll post a couple of photos as soon as I can get them from my phone! Dummy me, forgot to take my real camera.

  • Oh yeah, and my friend said to tell you all, even though she only "owned" him for a few minutes, she so very much appreciates that there are people out there who will give so freely to help dogs like Harley find good homes.
    She sends her deepest appreciation to everyone!

  • I send my deepest thanks to you JoNell!
    I would have never considered posting this boy to this venue.
    BUT you had the smarts to know that these folks really do care about b's and have helped us get this boy into the "right" home.
    So, thank you for all you have done to help one dog.
    With rescue, it really IS one dog at a time.
    This boy is very lucky.
    Thank you.

  • This is great! Can't wait to see the photos!

    Anyone who is interested in contacting Sharron or other BRAT volunteers privately
    can find their contact info here: http://www.basenjirescue.org/asp/ScreenersByState.asp

  • Thanks Alex, I have already had a few folks contact me re this boys background.

  • Sorry I don't have better photos. I can't believe I forgot my camera today…. ugrrr@me:mad: .

  • Honey, those photos just didn't come through?

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Honey, those photos just didn't come through?

    Oh?
    Hmm, they show up fine on my computer. Weird.
    :confused:

    Try this link then: http://s111.photobucket.com/albums/n135/JoNell_63/Harley/

  • Aw he is a handsome boy! I'm glad members on the forum were able to come together for the betterment of a basenji :)

  • He is very sweet as well.
    The owner who had him did a very good job in socialization of this boy when he was younger.
    THANK you all again for helping this boy.

  • Harley is gorgeous! I'm so happy that he is in good hands. Harley has many angels on his side.

  • Yes, angels in deed!:D
    They are all on the forum!
    I am trying to get photos for you all to see.
    The foster home reports this boy is so sweet.
    Wants to sit by everyone, as close as he can be without
    being on the persons lap…

    She said, Oh, he doesn't do all the "bad" things b's do~
    Laugh.
    So, giving credit where its due, the first owner did right by this boy.
    And you all did great by getting him into rescue.;)
    Thank you all again.

    @Rob5098 I don't in your area. Like Pat suggested, you can go here: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=111&Itemid=94 Check NY and NJ and any other state close enough for a drive.

    I'm sorry for your loss. I did not mean to seem overly harsh, but I am glad you found the article eye-opening. I am very sad that you lost your boy so young. Please consider giving a homeless dog a second chance, or buy only from responsible breeders for a pup. it really is worth it. -Nicole

    @Nemo: Here's the link. http://www.basenji.org/learn/ Go to "screening breeders" at the top. That is a great list…and great explanations of why those questions are important.

    @khanis: Not polished ??? Sorry, but that is one of the silliest things that I have heard in ages. **I'm sorry; to what is this referring? :confused: I have seen dogs that are uglier than sin.. in the show ring no less! People that can't breed a decent looking domestic basenji aren't going to be able to breed a decent looking African basenji! **Uglier than sin? Really? I really prefer health and temperament and function as breeding goals. IMHO. How is that for a bunch of African beauties??? **Your dogs are quite lovely. So are my two Jasiri-Sukari B's. But neither would win in a show. We think they're beautiful, too. And they both have sweet temperaments. Lucky us. :) s.
