    I am sure Tanza is typing a post, give her a minute!

    Are you looking for a puppy or would you also go with a young adult?

    I'd even be happy just helping someone show their dog.
    but am considering and looking into getting my own.
    any age (even a special)

    I went through alot of these already but no one will even talk to me
    not helpful at all

    so I started searching elsewhere

    I would prefer to lease or buy outright.
    almost ready to just quit my search - too confusing and too hard to find an honest friendly breeder with a great pedigree.
    Thought I found one but I guess maybe not?
    I guess I know why the price was fair and terms were too.

    They are your best bet for a well socialized, healthy show quality basenji.
    What did you tell them you're looking for?

    I can dig up a few pictures of Eric's dogs (the first few), I see him a lot. I don't think I have anything of Morgan though, or the Biff dog.

    Eric's dogs are beautiful, but I can't say anything to his health testing practices.

    I want to join the show community, I think that is what spooked them all.
    I could do a co-own but terms were unrealistic and not fair at all, about 1/2 of the breeders were way unfair.
    If I don't make champion I have to pay them too etc etc

    what do you think of their lines, Good/bad?
    I'd love picture and info of them if you can find them.

    So you are looking for a dog to show? A lot of breeders are not willing to sell intact dogs outright because of the risk of them being bred without good health testing and thorough screening of future puppy homes. And also a lack of spay/neuter contracts. They don't want their well bred dogs or offspring of those dogs ending up in bybs and puppy mills and people who won't have the breed's best interest at heart.

    I know some good show breeders can be intimidating, but don't give up. Also, most puppies from responsible breeders are already placed at this point. You'll be hard pressed to find a dog still available from anyone reputable. You might have to settle for getting on next year's puppy list. But there may be a few folks willing to place a young adult that needs to finish still?

    How did you get interested in showing? What are your future plans for your puppy?

    I'm looking for a hobby. Use to show cattle and liked it.
    Now I live in town so.. Dog people are hard to work with.

    No for sure future plans. I have a 10yr gs now.
    No kids, no wife, just me and too much free time.

    Well Eric is a great guy, and can produce nice show dogs. He is a wonderful person to show with. His dogs are pretty and can move nicely too. But if he doesn't health test, that that would concern me. (I've never asked him as I've never looked into his lines.) I see him at most of the local shows and chat with him, and I like what he has to say about the dogs as he comments on them, has a good eye for the breed. He has several other breeds and Basenjis are not his main focus, at least not nowadays.

    ok, digging through pictures now…lol

    If you are looking to get started in showing then you really want to start with a good well bred dog. It may take some work and preserverance to find a breeder that you feel you can work with and is also doing the health testing. As has been already said, most of those breeders have already sold their puppies from this year's litters.

    If you are willing to wait a year, maybe a good place to start is talking to some local breeders and tell them you would are interested in possibly getting a show puppy next year but would like to give showing a try and see if any may need a hand showing. That way you get to see if this is really a hobby you are interested in and breeders get to see that you are committed to showing.

    looks like the pup I was looking at is already gone. There are females yet.

    anyways, how much should I expect to pay purchase price?
    and what testing can I do at a young age?

    If or when I can find a pup?
    the female is cute though,

    @noble-labradors said in Looking for a reputable breeder: According to AKC, Labs are the number one most popular breed in America because of their intelligence and loyalty. Check out our labs in https://noblelabradors.com. Here is a thought. When someone goes to another breed's forum and advertises their dogs, when RESPONSIBLE breeders generally have legit breed specific places to notify of litters, and to find good homes.... how desperate or bad does that breeder have to be? Another thought, go to the page. :) You can see first hand what a puppymill/backyard breeder page looks like. :) Puppies for sale, purebred litter born. A responsible breeder has sire/dam, testing, titles listed. They are selling you responsibly bred, tested and make health a priority. The others... well, just wants to sell you a puppy. "Noble"... more like ignoble. OH, and as a bonus there, you get to keep paying through the nose by being REQUIRE to buy into their pyramid sales items: , feeding them only Life’s Abundance dog food advanced nutrition diet, as well as NuVet immune system booster supplements.<< Life's Abundance isn't bad, but too expensive and imho, way too high protein. And not one iota of proof their NuVet immune supplements do anything except line their pockets.

    I cannot thank you enough for the help. My other dog, Herbie, has been very patient with Chester. I hope someday they will be friends...and Chester will understand he is finally safe. Thank you again.

    @lindy said in Fostering a pup that looks like Basenji: [image: 1499893567189-img_2774.jpg] His height is 20". That's too big, right? Yes, too big. Should be 16 - 17" at the shoulder. Possibly a mix, but only a DNA test will tell you for sure.

    @tanza: By the way, 80% of Basenjis have umbilica herinas… and there is NO emergency to get them fixed as 99% of the time they never cause problems. We show with them, we course with them, even the bitches have puppies with umbilica hernias... Your Vet is totally off base... that that he/she is the first... happens all the time. Also there is a Basenji breeder, who is a Vet (Tracy Leonard) in Beavercreek, Oh... maybe she could give you a referral? Our Basenji also had an umbilica hernia when he was little. Our Vet told us to just keep an eye on it but said it was pretty common. The umbilica hernia our basenji had took care of itself and the dog is completely healthy. Like Tanza has said your Vet is off base and you are doing the right thing by seeking another Vet. We chose to use a Vet that specializes in sports medicine for dogs. I would follow the advice you have received and get a referral from a breeder or contact your local AKC club and find out if there are any other Basenji owners in that club and ask them who they use for a Vet. They should be very willing to help you. Jason
