Humane is a double edged sword IMO. Yes, they do help dogs, but there are problems with the agency as well. There are many breeds that would now be extinct except for breeders who had the dedication to keep the breed alive. Basenji's would never be known in the world except for dedication of someone who decided to take them from Africa. The Chinook was saved from extinction in 1981 with 11 breedable dogs! So breeders have their place, and definitely the humane has it's place. I don't discount them, there are just two sides to the story. Of course this is MO only!
Basenji in Minnesota

Hello! I just found this forum today and I think it'll be my lifesaver. I adopted Dacia, my female red/white basenji about a year ago. She's a little spit fire, like I hear every basenji can be! I'm a true animal lover and fell in love with the basenji when I saw one at the pet store. I have one other dog, Roxy, a 4 year old mix breed, and a 3 year old Siamese cat, Tai. I've decided that the cat is Dacia's favorite toy…unfortunately he's not as fond of her! She's the sweetest dog you'll ever meet...one look in those eyes and how could you not love her!
