WANTED: R/W Female Basenji puppy/adult.

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • He is the Male BIS for CKC, but Hooter (Schuamberg's Hoo Hoo) is the tops in Canada. Yes, he is out there but personally, he's not my style, and yes, I probably could get him for stud, but, he does nothing for me. This is, IMO, far too high a price even if he's BIS anywhere. Just because her price is high, and she includes goodies, doesn't mean scat. I have very good dogs that both have their CKC Championship and if I specialed them to death I could have a BIS too. You don't have to pay that much for good, HEALTHY, dogs.

  • $1500 is really steep. I think you will find that for a puppy most responsible breeders are between $800-$1000 depending on vet costs in the area and some of the young adults are available for less.

  • WOW all I can say is you all are right but I wanted to know what everyone had to say. I was saying the price was WAY to high but she seems to think other wise. I told her I'm not going to take him for various reasons. BUT thanks guys. For all of you, I'm just looking for a healthy basenji who I can give a loving home to be "owned" for his/her life =o)

    And from a good breeder, who is not in it for the money.

    Giving for profit breedes your hard earned money for ANY reason, even if it is to give a dog a good home, will only incourage them to keep breeding iresponsibly. The only way to truly slow/stop these types of breeders is to hit them where it hurts(their pocketbooks).

    And close enough to you also…. it would be a good choice and then later if you wanted to add a 2nd, would be fairly easy...

  • The lady who wanted 1500 sent me pictures of the male, he is very cute but I told her I thought 1500 was way to pricey and I said good luck to finding him a home I guess I'll keep looking and all she said was Good luck in the last e-mail..

  • Good Call!

    Good for you… She sold a pup around here and got... (everyone sitting down)... 3,000.00 as a potential show dog.. NOT, NOT even close... it is way to sad to see someone that paid that kind of money period....

  • There is a sucker born every minute…as someone said...
    Some lazy folks who don't do their homework, think $$ shows quality.
    We all know that is totally false in the dog world.
    I only hope the dogs go into nice homes.
    That is what I want for every b out there!

  • It is amazing that so many people think that the "higher" the price the better the quality.. regardless of what they purchase…

  • Lazy is part of it as well.
    If your buying a car, at least my family goes to the trouble to so some reading re pros and cons.
    Those with $$$ and the "I want" thinking, just go down and buy the pretty red one.
    I think often, that is what we are dealing with…

  • When she told me 1,500 I was shocked. He's a pretty dog, but I can't afford to pay that kind of money. I want a B but c'mon now.. I'll wait, let me know when you guys will be breeding this year if at all. I would like to know I'm getting from a responsible breeder who doesn't care about charging me a million dollars ;o)

  • Have you been in touch with yodeldogs about Rocky? There are many good breeders in the South East. I would think you would be able to get on a waiting list for fall if you started to talk to breeders now.

    I know of a very nice r/w adult female up for adoption, she's located in Ohio; you can email her foster mum at cworsham@ctcn.net or you can drop me a note Meg can be viewed on Petfinder.com CCK9s New Leash on Life has her bio up; it's a non-kill rescue based out of Ohio.

    Good Luck!

    As for the quote of people thinking the higher price means a better animal…. I bought my Quarter Horse for $600.00 that was cheap in 1992; he was PRICELESS! :)

  • I am really amazed at some of the prices that puppy mills and large volumn back yard breeders are charging for their puppies - and poor specimins to boot.

  • I think they're trying to look legit! Knowing that most "ethical" breeders ask a good amount for our dogs (course mind you we have a lot of money stuck into our dogs prior to the "sale" price). And the fact that we're not into dogs to make money.

    Go to the Basenji Club of America's web site (BCOA). To find Basenji breeders go to the Breeder Directory. Breeders are listed by state. Contact the Breeder Liaison as she keeps an additional list of breeders that do not breed often and do not want their names openly advertised. https://www.basenji.org/index.php/about-basenjis/breeder-directory

    I think I might have to start my hunt from scratch. There is a good possibility I will move to Jamaica in the future so I called the customs office yesterday about dog policies. Since there hasn't been rabies on the island in 200 years they are REALLY strict. they only let dogs in from the UK and Ireland. Im soo mad :mad: . . . but I'm glad I found out now. Sooooo does anyone know any UK sources / breeders? ::SIGH:: I want to be an owner so bad

    @culturalenigma: Hi all…sorry it's taken so long. I did not end up getting a Basenji - though I really really still want one. I did get a Jack Russell. As I said before, my mother breeds them and like any good breeder, when the people who bought her found out they were pregnant, they no longer wanted the puppy. So she was in need of a home and we were looking for a dog. Anyway, anyone know how a Basenji might get a long with a Jack? :cool: I know people with Jack's and Basenjis.. do just find.. but lots of energy there between the two….
