Basenjis for sale

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • I just sent a message on myspace asking if tests were done for Fanconi, and/or hips, patella, thyroid.

  • Do let us know what you hear, if anything.

  • It is in pretty poor form to be using another breeder's kennel name. :(

  • I am NOT defending this person… however... I would doubt that she has any idea what a responsible breeder is or that there might be someone with the same "kennel" name for their Basenjis. Or that people don't use the same names....

  • @YodelDogs:

    It is in pretty poor form to be using another breeder's kennel name. :(

    My guess is that she isn't aware that she IS using another breeder's name.
    Probably just sounded like a cool name.

  • but if these puppies are AKC registered, doesn't she have to register her kennel name? or do they allow you to use any kennel name? this just sounds fishy…

  • @Knipper:

    but if these puppies are AKC registered, doesn't she have to register her kennel name? or do they allow you to use any kennel name? this just sounds fishy…

    Unless you pay to register the "kennel" name.. it is fair game… it is not required to register a kennel name... it is personal choice

  • Actually, it isn't even as simple as wanting to register your kennel name with AKC. I would like to be able to do that, but I do not breed enough litters to qualify for a registered kennel name. You must breed 5 litters in 5 years to qualify.

  • wow, that seems like a lot, especially considering what goes into a good litter.

  • Yes, especially when you only breed a litter because you plan to keep a puppy and all your dogs are housedogs.

  • @JazzysMom:

    My guess is that she isn't aware that she IS using another breeder's name.

    Maybe not but I hope she reads this and refrains from using it from this point on.

  • Yes, she recently sent me a friend request which I accepted. I suspected BYB also, I asked her a question about how long she had been breeding Basenjis. I was trying to get a response and dig a little deeper, but she never responded to my question… which made me even more suspicious. I left her as my friend for future reference, interesting she popped up here!

  • BTW, the only Basenji breeder I knew of in WV (until now) is in Proctor, WV… Bethany of Rosewood Kennels. Oh, and a girl named Melisa in Proctor... I'm not sure if she and Rosewood are in some way connected, but Melisa claims to breed and show Basenjis...

  • Dolores has been around awhile.
    Karen Hutchinson has co-bred with her.
    Dolores got a puppy from Lisa A [Itzyu] last year.
    He is a littermate to my Bebe [also from Lisa].

    Unfortunately, this girl probably got her dogs from the PM in Keota, OK and most likely they aren't even AKC registered…

    My guess is you're thinking of Melisa Skillman? (Her last name might be different now.) If so, then yes she is also a breeder/exhibitor, Dija Basenjis. Her dogs have a similar pedigree as Beth's dogs and they do work together sometimes. I don't know all the details but I do know they associate with each other, more now than in the past. Melisa used to live in Ohio and I've seen her around quite a bit. Been a while though since we've talked.

    I think that's the Melisa I am speaking of, I'm glad you metioned the name of her Co. (Dija Basenjis). It sounds very familiar, I had just never put the two together in my head… There aren't many Basenji Breeders in my state!

  • Melisa is totally legit, and a really nice woman :) I think she currently lives with (and works for?) Beth on her farm. They both breed Basenjis under different kennel names.

  • Well, keep us posted if you all learn more about the person who posted this.

  • I agree. :) Thanks Andrea, I know she had lived with Beth for a while, but not sure if she still was, or just nearby.

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Well, keep us posted if you all learn more about the person who posted this.

    I'll see if I can get anything out of her. She claims to work at an "interactive exotic zoo"… If so one would only hope she's wise enough to test the parents for fanconi, etc., but you never know about people… And you would think if she read any of this and is legit she would respond! However, we have gotten NO response which leads me even more to think she is not legit.:(

    Yes, Soda from Edmonton. He is doing pretty well now, but still can't handle stress very well. But he looks 100% better than when he arrived home and his playfullness is just coming out. He still loves cuddles and kisses and is actually very, very good. Isn't destructive, quiet for the most part and isn't prone to outrageous behaviour.

If you feel that you need stop posting for a while because of a conflict with other members, please step back and email us directly before posting publicly about the issue. Best way to to handle arguments on the public forum is to just let go and move on. http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=374 COURTESY AND RESPECT The purpose of this board is to provide a place for Basenji owners to make connections, exchange information and assist and encourage one another. It is above all a friendly environment for online discussion. Don't be rude to others, or make an argument personal If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all Know the difference between a difference of opinion and a personal attack Don't try to "win" an argument by repeating yourself over and over Don't tell others what to post Don't bash other members Keep it clean, don't use profanity Why can't I tell this user what an idiot he/she is; every single thing he/she posts is just so wrong? If you can't find a respectful way to express your difference of opinion, then you're better off saying nothing at all. Don't talk down to other posters, lecture them or be rude and dismissive. Disagreement is fine, but attacking another poster personally will get you in trouble and result in a ban from the forum. But he started the fight by attacking me! Can't I defend myself? This is a forum for the discussion of Basenjis, not a dueling society. If you feel attacked, please report it to the admin and then ignore the poster, respond to another thread. Remember, however much you were provoked, if you attack a poster personally then you are just as guilty of breaking the rules. Why can't I tell a poster that he's breaking the rules? This board has a moderator. Telling other people what to do is rude, derails the conversation even further and often ignites flame wars. Please just report the user to the admin and move on.

    Oh man, all I can say is this is so sad. :( I read previous messages and everything looked like the puppy, whether Fanconi and health tested or not, was going to be a forever addition to a (new) family. Maybe the puppy was pushed on someone, or maybe not enough was known about the breed. I just hope he can find his forever home through BRAT, which I would also say is the best choice in this situation.

    Are they DNA tested for Fanconi? Or the parents?
