Basenjis for sale
-
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…
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

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!

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.:(

I had a response on Myspace – she doesn't have "kennel" per se, she has one female and this is her first litter. She said the dam's Fanconi test is pending. She also said she was unaware that there was already a Mystical Basenjis and thought she was being original as her bitches name is "Hilas Mystical Light". She said she will probably try to come up with a new name.
-
I got a response, too (I'd say BYB):
…The female's akc name is hilas mystical light, the sire is WLS todd...
(I was afraid of that, the WL line is heavily linked with fanconi!):(
