    Have you checked out www.basenji.org for breeder listings? Or if interested in rescue, try www.basenjirescue.org

    Don't think there are any in TN, but certainly in the states near by. Sometimes you will have to travel a bit.

    Check out Cairo, especially if you don't already have a male dog… Cairo does better with a female canine friend! He is five years old and a tri-color (sounds pretty sweet)! :)

    Thanks so much for the quick responses, I'll be doing some search in N. GA as my brother doesn't live far from there. I've done my research on basenji's for about a solid year now, but I'm nervous talking to a breeder that I'll forget some obvious questions. Is there certain things you all feels needs to be asked other than the Fanconi Testing on sire's and Dam's, and other health tests? I won't have a chance to visit the breeder more than once before I would have a chance to buy, so I want to try to make the most of conversations wither breeders.

    I talked with several breeders pretty extensively by email before and after I met them with the questions I had. It was a while before I visited any of them (the closest was 3 h away). There is a post with a link to a list of standard questions everyone should ask a breeder when they are looking into getting a puppy.

    That is a great list…and great explanations of why those questions are important.

    I assume you mean for next winter's litters ? Nothing available at all right now - all this winter's crop will have been promised long since and be leaving the nest soon if they aren't already resettled. However, if you email me (see signature block - email addresses are on the websites) I will send you a list of Breed Club secretaries.

    @debbie said in reputable breeder?: @tanza yes my mistake it was tested with OKC I got papers to prove it.. she was born with the disease Are you referring to OFA? If so then I would wonder if the pup's sire/dam were not the real sire/dam of the pup you got? Only if they are Afflicted with the Fanconi gene (the pup) would they develop Fanconi? Did the paperwork from OFA say "clear"?

    We were saddened and disappointed in our visit there. It was our first exposure to the Breed unfortunately. We are working with Robyn and a reputable breeder in South Georgia currently. We are hopeful for a match with a young adult Or teen. Thanks for your input.

    Yes, Arlene, you do need at some point to take a stand and trust what you see and what you like… Breeding comes down to that in the end.... And with a bitch that is only 1 1/2 yrs looking down from the top is not a very good judge... IMO... reason?... They are not mature yet... and they shouldn't be.... their ribs have not even "sprung" at this age.. again IMO.... I would be hard pushed to say a dog is "wider" in the front then the rear at this age by just looking down on them.... again IMO.... Here is a link to 3 pictures of Kobey, 6wks, 3 months and 5 1/2 months... everything I saw on this pup at 6 wks that I liked (and that is a bit early then the 8 wks usually used for evaluating pups) I still see... but there are differences while growing... Now granted this pup is one of the few that has yet to really fall apart with a growing spurt... And also the faults that I saw at 6wks are still there too..... www.tanzabasenjis.net/kobeygrowing.html

    @khanis: Not polished ??? Sorry, but that is one of the silliest things that I have heard in ages. **I'm sorry; to what is this referring? :confused: I have seen dogs that are uglier than sin.. in the show ring no less! People that can't breed a decent looking domestic basenji aren't going to be able to breed a decent looking African basenji! **Uglier than sin? Really? I really prefer health and temperament and function as breeding goals. IMHO. How is that for a bunch of African beauties??? **Your dogs are quite lovely. So are my two Jasiri-Sukari B's. But neither would win in a show. We think they're beautiful, too. And they both have sweet temperaments. Lucky us. :) s.
