Basenji Rescue
  • Thank you for your thoughtful post here on the Forum. There are several people on here that are from Florida that may be able to help you place your dogs together…. "Mac Pack" lives nearby (Tampa area), and she has many connections with the Basenji community in Florida. "Shaye's Mom" lives in the Orlando area and may have some suggestions too. (As you may know, many people with basenjis know people who are interested in the breed.)

    We understand your request to keep them together, and I hope that someone is looking for 2 beautiful boys!

    Hugs and Roos, and congratulations on your new baby!:)

  • Thank you for all your help. I found Sphinx's Certificate of Pedigree and the Breeders name is Sheila Allen. He is ACA registered. The certificate says Lambriar Inc. Also looking at the paper work I was off on there age Sphinx was born on Nov. 22 in 2006 and Simon was born on Jan. 10th 2007 so Sphinx will be 6 in Nov. and Simon in Jan. I also have the Sire and Dam reg. #'s. I do not know much about breeding or breeders. Thanks again and hope to find them a good home soon.

  • I still would suggest that you do Fanconi DNA. These (sorry to say) are not responsible breeders so there could be health issues.

  • When would Fanconi show up? What age or does age not matter? Where and how much might this testing cost? I would be willing to get this done if new owner wanted me to do so. Thank you for the info.

  • Fanconi can symptoms can start as early as 2 years old but may not manifest until after the age of 10 years old. The cost of testing is $65 per dog and the test kit can be ordered from the OFA website, http://www.offa.org/dnatesting/fanconi.html

  • Thank you for the info. Do you think if I get this testing done it will significantly increase chances of finding them a home much sooner? If the results are in there favor. If so I will get it done ASAP my wife is due April 17th and I want them to be placed before she delivers. Thanks again

  • Have you contacted BRAT?

  • I sent them an email. I just want them to stay together and we are not willing to separate them. They have been together for 5 years now and get anxiety when separated. Thank you all for all the useful info and hope to find the right parents soon.

  • BRAT can insure they will be placed together, they will sometimes get in pairs of dogs that cannot be separated.

  • I agree, BRAT does get in pairs and ask they be adopted together plus BRAT works really hard to ensure placement are suitable and going to good homes. If your looking for a basenji savvy home them I would say "yes, getting the fanconi test will help getting them placed"…anyone not savvy or not caring to know about basenji genetic conditions won't care if theyre tested or not)

    Dear Debra, Thanks for the notes and looking up options nearby. We had already written to the Swiss basenji email address, but didn't get a response. We'd be willing to take him to nearby countries in Europe for the right fit. Perhaps now we will try writing to the other countries' basenji groups. He is such a lovely dog, and we want a good situation for him. He has come a long way and is much calmer now that he's a bit older! Cheers

    @Rocky1: Don't worry anyone,Dogs are coming home to me here at Jaroufa Hounds. Richard always knew that he could bring dogs back and his son finally found me. Anubis and Anuket will stay with me until a home is found or I will keep them . Kathryn Are they still available? How old are they? We presently have a 20 month old r/w well behaved basenji that we are thinking about getting a playmate for. Brindle is prefered but will consider another r/w or Tri from as young as a puppy to 2 years old male. Thank you Ruben

    I am so glad Foxy and Cami have such a good and loving home. The whole thing was so awful, though their former owner must miss them terribly, knowing they are loved and safe now surely be a huge comfort. Hooray for you, for rescuing 2 good girls. Anne in Tampa
