Looking for a Basenji

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • Chealsie508C

    If it helps any, I've never classified myself nor been diagnosed with animal allergies but cats have always made me itchy, never had issues with dogs although I grew up with "hypoallergenic peekapoos"…Oakley has a very short fine coat yet he shed a fair amount and there are times he makes me a little itchy, I'm constantly washing my sheets and when he goes through his yearly shed I tend to get a little uncomfortable. I only say this because I didn't expect to have any issues and they are mild but I did notice sensitivity. After owning Oakley I wouldn't classify them as allergy friendly...

    "I know I've found the breed for me because he totally turns my life upside down and I love it!"

    Please do not believe the BYBs ads that Bs are hypoallergenic or that they do not shed! They do blow/shed coat usually in Spring.

    Here is the Basenji Club of Canada Breeders' Directory:

    And be advised that just because one individual basenji doesn't make you itch that does not mean they all won't. If it's been more than a 2 weeks since Digital the brindlewonderkid has had a bath, my skin breaks out and is itch if I hold him. The other two don't. Digital have a very hard coat, the others have softer coats, but you would not necessarily know that if you take home a puppy. None of my basenjis shed very much, but they do shed some. (Hardly any compared to a lab or GSD or beagle)

    I did find a lady for you, unfortunately, Luther is sick and has taken a turn for the worse recently, so that meeting was cancelled even before I could tell you. I haven't found anyone else remotely close. Sorry!!!

    I hope you find your ideal Basenji but always make sure you 'meet and greet as you designate it'. I appreciate that you may have to travel to a breeder or even to an owner who is available to have you around for a while and answer any questions you have. You can learn a great deal from this forum too.

    Just funny how different people read things. I am wondering if you meant you having allergies from the Basenji or if the Basenji is prone to allergies when in different environments… just a thought. It is my mindset because my B was brought from Tenn to Fl, and is on Benedryl when needed and my first B never had any 'runny nose or eyes' because he was born in Fl.

    Thanks very much! We greatly appreciate your help. Let us know if you hear of any other Saskatchewan Basenjis for us to meet!

    Oddly enough, there is another person in Spain needing to rehome their Basenji puppy. The fellow's girlfriend does not like dogs. The topic is "Basenji puppy for adoption (Spain)" and the guy is @Luc21. Hope you can contact him.

    @rjbasenji - this is the time to align with a responsible breeder for a pup maybe in 2021. Because Basenjis only come in season once a year and their litter size is only 4-6 puppies, it is difficult to find one especially will all the people that "want" one... If you can visit with a breeder that would help you or if not call them on the phone and tell them why you think that a Basenji would be a good fit for your family/lifestyle.

    All pups have been placed as responsible breeders have reservation lists. We are not at this time planning a litter for 2020 or 2021. I would be happy to talk to you about Basenjis. You can search for responsible breeders at www.basenji.org by state, however as far as I know all responsible breeders on the West Coast already have full reservation lists. You would be looking at litters possible in 2021. This is the time to connect with a responsible breeder and get on their reservation lists for 2021. And if you are looking for a dog that is hypoallergenic, Basenjis do shed and have dander so they are not really hypoallergenic. While they can do well with people with allergies, you need to spend time with them and more than one time. Be sure that you check out health testing yourself, regardless of what you might be advised. Tests for DNA testing is public knowledge at www.ofa.org. You need to have either a registration number or name to check this out for yourself to verify. I suggest all people looking for a Basenji, even my own, do this.

    Email me privately. Address in websites in signature block. I have had in excess of 100 enquiries since lockdown. The world has gone mad for puppies of all breeds. You are unlikely to find one this breeding season. Some breeders are already filling up lists for spring of 2022. Your research will have shown you that Basenjis are once a year girls. In the northern hemisphere this means most of them whelp around November or December

    @helle-devi Thank you for responding. I have already been in touch with the basenji sisters. I was not aware before I contacted them that they are located in CA. I think the distance between us is too great. If things didn’t work out between my basenji and one of their girls, the distance would be a problem. I did become a member on the Facebook site that you recommended. Thank you so much! I was unaware that such a site existed. Jo Ann
