    I never know hope I put this in the correct place.
    I am pretty sure this is your back yard breeder. Rocky Top Tennessee Basenjis.
    Go to that site and see the puppies there are 5 males and 7 females. They are so very cute. I spoke with the lady on Sunday. They are ACA is what I think she said I do know they were not AKC.
    I ask if the parents had been been Fanconi tested and the answer was yes they are good, All of my puppies have always been healthy. She had said this was really a hobby and had done it for four years but she might make this her last litter's.
    I could be wrong but I ask again what do you mean good on Fanconi what does that mean and her answer was healthy.
    Does anyone know anything about this breeder? All the puppies look to be Tri's she said one had some brindle on it's leg.

    no idea about the breeder but she has her pups advertised on so many websites!! That would put me off… I dont know what ACA is but i think you would be best looking for AKC registered pups bred by people who are actively showing/working their dogs, health testing them (not sure what the "good" means but im guessing she didnt understand the question) and breeding dogs for a purpose rather than to just sell.

    Remember pups always look cute, doesnt always mean they are good quality....

    I am not going to buy one of her puppies not after talking with her. Bad of me I want better AKC and I could have jumped to the moon when Jaycee came back Clear. I know the worst it could have been was carrier but I love that clear. I do not want a sick baby down the road that is unfair to the puppy.

    I would suppect that the sire and dam are NOT DNA tested for Fanconi, did you specifically ask about DNA testing, not just Fanconi testing?…. and I don't see any brindle on them?... Sire and Dam look to be both tris. And I can't believe she had a litter of 12???????????? Must be two different litters. And certainly not AKC registered.. but I would be interested in knowing if she has pedigrees on the pups.

    I don't know what the purpose of your post was. If it was to advertise this litter available then there is no appropriate place on the forum for the post since only the breeder of the litter can advertise and only in the For Sale thread with the appropriate information.

    If you are seeking input on the breeder's statement on Fanconi, IMO, people should steer well clear of any breeder who will not tell you the dog's status using the marker test which would mean looking for them saying Probably Clear, Probably Carrier, Indeterminate, Probably Affected and then following up with the registered names and registration numbers so you can verify the status on your own.

    It does say she has a the father and mothers on premises. the bottom photo on left, the puppy farthest to the left does look like a trindle or a smudgy tri. (at least according to the kijiji ad site)

    There is no correct place for granting back yard breeders any exposure. She could have just made a sale, you know that's all it is, too.

    I only posted this in case someone else seen the ad and was going to call and think about buying one. I just tried to save someone time. I am not in any way trying to give them postive exposure.

    I'm sorry but you did give them exposure. Your post though it showed some concern about the lack of AKC registration and info on Fanconi read much more like an advertisement for this breeder than a red flag. You even said, go check them out on their site, they are very cute.

    Rita, maybe you can change the thread title (or email Alex and ask him to change it) to:

    It's an OMG all right, but not how you'd think. At first it was blamed on a family members vindictive ex but now I have an update from someone... "Had not heard anything from the woman that was buying the puppy so I telephoned her. Well.... While the puppies were real (lots of real time updates, photos, videos, & talked about them to her friends & family on her personal Facebook page), it looks like the woman that was selling them made up a series of lies because a) did want to deal with shipping a puppy; b) sold it to someone local; d) sold it for more money to someone else; d) who the hell knows. The woman that was the intended buyer who posted all the ads is livid and perplexed. She plans to talk to an attorney friend to make sure it is okay to plaster the seller's name everywhere. The world is full of jerks, jackasses, and idiots. Had a long talk with buyer and told her to only deal with AKC registered breeders in the future. She is lucky she didn't lose any money."

    No, it won't be the same. I recently lost a beloved dog myself. I'm so sorry.

    @Chealsie508: I am a born skeptic and although I am not a breeder I would feel uncomfortable placing a puppy into a home when you 1: haven't been able to meet them or 2: haven't been "vetted" by someone you know. It is so easy for a breeder to sell a puppy on a spay/ neuter contract but hard to enforce once the puppy leaves you. People can make themselves seem like exactly what you want until they get what they want. I'm also not a breeder, but have friends who are. And I have seen this equation from the other side, twice as a puppy buyer (in both cases I visited, met the parents of the pups, had conversations with the breeders, etc.) and three times adopting older dogs. On one occasion the dog was shipped to me from Washington State…...but that was set up between the breeder in Washington who was looking for a home for a returned dog of hers and a breeder I had previously purchased a pup from, and who went with me to pick up the dog at the airport! I think it is best to have personal contact if you can, but you can get a fairly good "feel" for people by talking to them. Internet may work for an initial connection, but I would want telephone contact at the very least. I agree with Chealsie508 that "People can make themselves seem like exactly what you want until they get what they want." My close friend who breeds Pyrenees has had situations that seemed ideal turn out to be anything but, and on other occasions placements that she was a bit concerned about turned out to be just great. When in doubt, going with your instincts may work, but not always. No guarantees, and it is very difficult to enforce contracts once the dog is out of your hands. Once upon a time I thought I might sell a horse or two. Nope. Couldn't do it. Still got 'em, and they will die here. Glad I never bred my bitch! :)

    So, the fanconi is on each pups or on the parents or both? I was making some accouints about how much can expect to spent on a future litter.. well here on Mexico.. the people dosnt make hip, eyes or worst.. the fanconi.. but anyway the pups are sell for aprox 400 us.. but there is no explanation about the cost.. I think there is no need to put on the account the food of the parents, electricity and so .. because the parents food are responsible of the owner.. i dont expect that someone pay for the cost to me to have an basenji.. but well there are other cost that i see is ok to include.

    @kiroja: Pat, I heard from Linda this weekend and Boo IS preggers! Just thought I would let you know. :) At least 4 pups were seen, but she usually gets a little more than what shows up. One is very small though and probably won't make it. So at least 3 little babies on the way! And fingers crossed that Kylie cooperates next time for your new plans. :) I'm so happy that Parry will get his Jaadii kids. Cool… thanks for letting me know.... and yes, we are hoping that Kylie is ready for "Motherhood" .....gggg And we are excited about our possible Jaadii kids!
