Apparently, because of the pandemic, puppies and kittens are in short supply everywhere, and since female basenjis generally only have one litter a year, you might have to wait even longer. The theory behind the shortage of puppies and kittens (and even older dogs and cats) is that because of lockdowns, etc people are lonely for companionship.
Looking for young/puppy Basenji
-
Hey there, I am finally no longer travelling for work and can adopt a Basenji! I am located on the Gulf Coast and am having some difficulty finding breeders in my area. I run constantly and live in a very dog friendly area that would be amazing to share with a Basenji. All help is appreciated.

Life is full of changes. What would you do if you were suddenly traveling again? Or if your activity level changed? Would you look for a new home for the dog?
-
Not at all! I have family and friends who would be more than willing to help. My work travel in the future will be limited to a week at most as well.

Glad things are settling down for you. Now is a great time to get on breeders puppy lists. Go to the Basenji Club and contact breeders in states close enough for traveling to. If you're interested in a bit older, be sure to ask if they have any or know of another breeder who may have gotten a puppy back that didn't work out. Good luck in your search.
