Basenji Pup Wanted For Loving Home In AZ

[LindaH]

@DebraDownSouth:

Michael, hopefully the people you are recommending are NOT the ones you got your Fanconi affected dog from

Certainly not from Tari Parish. While I don't know the background of all of Tari's dogs, the puppy we'll be getting from her this weekend has parents both of whom have been tested CLEAR for Fanconi (see my post at http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=10768).

I don't personally know Sherry, but she is listed on BCOA's site, and her dog, Ch. Desoleil's Atributes Causa Nowata (Tibu), is the sire of the puppy we'll be getting from Tari.

I must tell you all that it appears Basenji enthusiasts may actually be the most amazing community of dog lovers I have ever encountered. I am so happy that it seems everyone's best interest is in the health and love of this amazing breed!

Thank you for all of your help, and please keep me posted if anyone knows of additional, reliable and caring resources.

Thank you!

Lindsay

No, the breeders I am talking about are good, reputable ones. I know that Sherry’s pups are from a carrier and a clear, but she hasn’t tested them yet. Both AZ breeders I mentioned have some pups left and still have a few dogs that need good, proper homes.

And I am not married, but I am taken. lol Thanks for trying.

LOL, Michael. I told my daughter I pitched her on the Basenji board and I am surprised you didn't hear the screams of outrage. :)

Back to dogs, yes, people here are wonderful. We have great people who are breeders here to help those of us who are not basenji breeders learn, make good choices and become educated. We might get a bit snarky (cough cough, some of us–- by which I mean me---), but the dogs are the heart of all concerns.

Linda - do you know if Skeeter is still available (Flame's littermate)? He is adorable!

I have not yet had a chance to telephone, but emailed earlier this w eek and had not received a reply. Maybe we'll have brothers!

[etzbseder]

I’ll ask Tari and see. I have pics of skeeter if needed. You can also go through my link and contact me directly. I am a wealth of knowledge.

I believe Tari wants Skeeter to go to a show home and, at one point, had someone considering him, but I don't know what his current status is.

Tari works during the week and is busy a lot of weekends showing or judging, so best bet would be to give her a call some evening.

[MissLinZ]

Yep - Just spoke with Sam and he confirmed that Skeeter is for show. Looks like I may be out of luck until fall as I don't want to ship, but would rather stay within the Arizona community. No rush though . . . the best things are worth waiting for!

My girl, Callie, is from a breeding to a Sundiata dog, Pi. Sundiata (Chris Maxka) has dogs in Arizona & New Jersey. I know they had two litters this year; I don't know if any pups are still available though. It wouldn't hurt to contact them. Although I did not get Callie directly from Chris (I got her from a breeder in Georgia who used Pi as a stud), Chris is actively involved in Callie's life. She likes to keep up to date on Callie's show & coursing careers as well as her day to day antics. She's a great part of our extended basenji family/support system. She health tests & shows her dogs, and has been around for a few decades.

I know Sherry has 3 boys without homes yet, I think the other two girls are spoken for though.
