Hello, go to www.basenji.org and search for breeders... by state and there are some from Canada... you are most likely looking at possible breedings for fall/winter of 2020. Note however it is IMPORTANT that you go to a responsible breeder so registration papers are important as many BYB's use other types of registrations that are not registered by AKC or the Canadian Kennel club and you need to follow up on health testing youself... if they are doing responsible health testing before breeding the results are public at www.ofa.org. This is important in order to find a responsible breeder... that health tests before breeding here is a link on how to find and interview and find a responsible breeder... and this is important...https://www.basenji.org/learn/ScreeningBreeders.htm
1 1/2 YO Tri Color Basenji Female needs a home in Oklahoma
-
She was a pup of my parents. And she is Fanconi Negative. They used to breed basenji's. Not anymore. She was one of theirs.
-
Brat will find her a wonderful home, but they won't pay you for her.
Please consider that..BRAT does home visits, checks out vet references and makes sure the dog won't bounce.
It the best thing to do for any dog who needs a home. -
There is no test that says fanconi negative - just clear, carrier, affected or indeterminate. We've done a good job educating folks about that so anyone who would adopt her would expect to see the actual paperwork from OFFA or the information to look it up on the website.
So your parents were the breeders - and cannot take her back - is that what I'm understanding?

It the best thing to do for any dog who needs a home.I'm a volunteer with BRAT (Basenji Rescue and Transport) also and I live here in Oklahoma, like Sharron said, we can take the dog into rescue and find her a new wonderful home. That way she has more "people time" I understand what it's like the be a college student, and have to work full time, I have been there, it is really hard (thankfully I don't have to do I right now)
Please let BRAT help your dog, we help save and rescue lots of Basenjis, they are not quite "rare", but more of a "less common" breed.

The only way that she could be "clear" of Fanconi is if she is DNA tested for Fanconi. "Negative" for Fanconi would only really mean that if you strip test her, she at the time of the strip test is not spilling sugar in her urine. And since she is under 2yrs and Fanconi usually doesn't show up till 3yrs, really doesn't mean anything.

http://oklahomacity.kijiji.com/c-Pets-Dogs-puppies-AKC-Female-Tri-Colored-Basenji-Female-W0QQAdIdZ154168203I just sent her a message from this website (the add was just posted on the 7th), hoping that we can get that basenji into BRAT, I am very close to her. I have a foster now and my two dogs, but even if I have to take the dog in for a night or two till we get it into another foster home.
Lets hope that she will surrender to BRAT
-
BasenjiFan, Thanks for trying. I am with BRAT too. I am actually getting a new foster here in a few days, we hope.

Well she's not interested in Rescue, she feels that we as rescue would stress her out by "bouncing her from location to location" and I was the 4th person to contact her from the rescue and and she would appreciate if we would stop contacting her (BRAT). But I sent her another email, I hope maybe she don't get mad at me and send me a nasty gram back
I am very sorry that you feel that the rescue organization would bounce the dogs from location to location. We screen our new and potential homes extremely well; and monitor the dogs before they are ready to adopt. I have had my foster since May waiting to ensure that myself and Basenji rescue have found the FOREVER home for him. I do deeply understand how you feel about finding the correct home for your dog because I have had to find a new home for dogs before long before I got into rescuing, one dog I thought I found a wonderful home for and a year later the people let him get hit by a car because they let him roam the streets.
Please reconsider rescue and just keep my email address. I live here in Norman also, so I am very close and I can help get your girl into rescue really easy. Basenji rescue like I said is extremely strict about new homes; with my foster it is the average to having him this long. That way we can evaluate them, get to know their personalities, quirks. likes/dislikes, good behaviors/bad behaviors all of those things before even listing them on the rescue website.
-
Good email, I wish she would consider it, since we do more research behind a placement then most. But I guess she is looking to make a buck or more like $200 some bucks off the dog…and therefor rescue is out of the question.
-
That was a nice e-mail maybe she will change her mind in a few days. All we can do is hope.

I have been following this person on Craigslist for a while now and I have seen her accept dogs that were for free and then relist them a week later on craigslist for a small rehoming fee.
She also tells the same story each time. She also had a Rottweiler puppy she was trying to get rid of as well.
Do a google search for storm_girl2009, storm_girl08, storm_girl18 there are others but i can't remember all of them. Also, if you google her phone number you will see more to validate my story 580-917-8135
I have also turned her in to the local news station and they said it's possible they will investigate her and the scamming that goes on with craigslist pet section.
I would also like to add that in some of her ads I've seen, she claims she doesn't have photo's. But, as you can see, she posts pictures of her nintendo games for sale and other items she is getting rid of. She seems to have calmed down on craigslist lately, but only because I have continually flagged her posts. She's probably going to switch emails if she hasn't already and continue the scam.

I am shocked..oh my g–. I hope they catch her and make take responsibility for her action.
Thanks you so much for the heads up, I am sure I speak for all on this forum when I say that.

Wow, that's crazy!
I used to work with a girl that did something like that, but not that bad. She'd take in dogs and cats that people were giving away free, then after a month or so, she'd give them away for a small rehoming fee. But her rehoming fee really was small, between $20-$40, mostly to cover the cost of food. She'd also provide the ones that needed it training and socialization.
-
Her post set my hackles up when I first read it. Not only didn't the "parents" part make much sense, but a college student with no photo capability (??) and a limited knowledge of basic sentence structure, just didn't add up. This part of the post: "Asking for a $200 adoption fee. THIS IS REASONABLE. Basenji's are NOT a common breed to the US and cost a LOT. Look it up. " was just plain stupid to post on a forum dedicated to Basenji's, B. owners, and breeders. The presumption of our ignorance on what a Besenji costs was a big red flag.
It's sometimes hard to post your real feelings towards a new poster. You have the gut feeling something is off, but you second guess yourself wanting to think the best of people.
I certainly don't want to jump the gun and post something that might turn even the scam artist away too soon. That just might jeopardize the dog, and a potential real rescue.
I hope this Tri is healthy and finds a forever home. Thank you scamstopper.
-
My biggest "something is wrong sentence"is this one "I bought her for $500" to "she is one of my parents pups, they used to breed, but don't anymore" She paid her parents $500 for a pup???
-
I tried to pull up craigslist up but it says this posting has been flagged for removal. I hope she get's into trouble. Just so wrong.

Her story is also not consistent. On Kjiji she says she paid $400. Here she $500 but then later says she got the dog from her parents. I guess one of Judge Judy's sayings is fitting, "You don't have to have a good memory if you are telling the truth."
