Only 1 Basenji but looking to get another

  • We also got started looking a little late, we didn't know we would be adding another B so soon. But we lost our 13yr. old boxer a few weeks ago and the house sure seems lonely with only 1 dog. Rocket seems better now, but he sure is a lonesome boy. My breeder was out of town this week, I will talk to her on Sunday and see what her breeding plans are for this year.

  • @jmcduff:

    We have put our name on two breeders list and hoping to add our name to a third list. I guess we decided kinda of late and lot of lists we are at the bottom keeping our fingers crossed.

    I hope you have let the breeders know that you are talking with other breeders. As a breeder, I know that waiting for the litter is difficult since there are so many unknowns. I only take a limited number of people on my waiting list and refer to other breeders if I do not think I will have enough puppies. It can be very frustrating to find out after the puppies are actually here that a person you had on the waiting list and therefore told others that your waiting list was full is actually not getting a puppy from you since you were their third choice and now that pups are here they know they have one from breeder 1.

  • Yes … I have been upfront....actually the first breeder isn't sure I will get one... 2nd one doesn't know if the the 2nd bitch took... and third one speaking this weekend.

  • i just wanted to add here that i checked the brat website this morning and there are several brindles available. you can see them at www.basenjirescue.org

  • Chase is a most handsome boy. I think he needs a female companion.

  • @jmcduff:

    dana,

    interesting… i can't get to the www.hicotn.com web site. Looks like it has been deactivated.

    hello again,
    I am not sure if you have managed to load hicotn's web page, but I checked and it is working. here is the email she provided on her website cworsham@ctcn.net
    good luck

  • Thanks Dayna,

    I did and actually talked with her. Unfortunately she doesn't have anything available at this time. She got me in touch with another breeder which I don't think it is going to work out. So I am pursuing one in North Carolina with hopes this one works out.

  • I believe Susan Campeau in NC is going to have a litter. As well as Tad Brooks in central KY. I can't speak of thier dogs personally, only that they said they may have litters this year.

    I still need to plug Ann (Hacker) Harrison who had mid year litter. I can't say enough good things about her. Our Smitty a Hacker he is the sweetest most gentle thing since our first from her line. I'd get another if we didn't already have 3!

    Also I have an email from someone who is breeding from Ann's line if you want to PM me.

    Sue Kite of Klassic Basenji's said she'd be having a litter. Our Ramsey is from her line. Ramsey is also a very gentle dog and is about to turn 12!

  • @jmcduff:

    Quercus,

    Thank you!
    I was looking at breeder Rugosa Basenji's near Toledo Ohio. Have you heard of her?

    We got our Basenji, Bisa [formerly Lucy], from Vicki. You can't go wrong with her and I think she may have had a new litter recently. She will direct you in the way to go! :)

  • Just noticed the dates of the posts … trying to get used to the site again after not being in here for awhile ... Sorry!!!:o

    @creambasenji Please start a new topic/thread in Member Introductions when you upload an image of your "cream" basenji. That way, more people will see it. (thanks!)

    Thank you all for your kind words! It almost brings me to tears of joy right now to see her laying in the grass by the pool on a beautiful sunny day in California and knowing that shes gonna be OK. Of course I wish I could have done more for more dogs in her village (I DID help bring 2 of her puppies to the US though, they have arrived safely in Colorado today!) Segbwema, I know what you mean about the dogs having to fend for themselves… The village where I lived for 8 months didn't have any running water or electricity... so it definitely put things in perspective! Right now Laliti and I are BOTH feeling like we've won the lottery : ) Patty, yeah I hope Laliti doesnt take the word "mutt" the wrong way : ) I think I'd pin her to look a lot like a Basenji/Black lab mix.... (obviously shes not mixed with any lab, but just for the sake of describing her appearance) because she has a diluted Basenji appearance with a larger body and a thicker coat like a black lab....
  • Maya is Number 1 Basenji…
