UK Members - Beautiful Basenji Pup

Basenji Talk
  • It's awful when things don't work out. Lets hope this little girl finds a great home soon.

  • The advertiser is a member of this forum who seems quite a genuine person.

    Unfortunately, the breeder (the link above) placed two puppies with her - I consider this was totally irrreponsible and taking advantage of a not very knowledgeable but kind person. I'll contact somebody who helped the breeder in the past and see if I can find out more.

    If Katty reads this, perhaps she would like to get in touch with Basenji Rescue they may have a home for this puppy - in any case they would take over the responsibility.

  • :( I sure hope this sweet puppy finds a good home.

    Ahh, i know who the owner is now. I remember the discussions about many peoples concerns of her taking on littermates.. Lets hope that was not the reason for this little one being rehomed.

  • From the ad that was posted, it is not the littermate that is the issue it is the basenji female she had gotten the year before that is having an issue having a second basenji female in the house. This is a frequent issue in basenjis and one reason why so many people on this list caution against same sex placements especially with inexperienced owners.

    Exactly… and you need to be careful when you bring a puppy into a house that has an adult... regardless of age... but the older they are, sometimes the harder it is to introduce them... and many are not made totally aware of the adult and the "training" that they will do with the puppy ... Many take this as they will never get along... not always the case... and you can never totally prepare anyone for the noises that can come from the adult to a baby puppy....

  • aww adorable! wish i was in the UK, hope the pup finds a home she can settle into.

  • that really is so sad - 11 weeks old and already looking for a new home. the breeder should be ashamed of themselves for (a) placing 2 pups in the same home on a "spur of the moment" purchase and (b) for presumably not following up the placement and taking the wee girl back. Lets hope she finds a good home soon.

  • Do we know yet whether the breeder will take the puppy back?

    I totally agree with Ivoss and Tanza and this a two puppy placement not just one!!

  • oh man thats just up the road from me i wish i had a spare 400…. i would love to take her on such ashame

    does anyone know whats happened to this lil pup????

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    OMG, TRUST me…its not only ur baby, Jack has some seporation anxiety, i mean, we rescued him so that may be why, but i Always feel so sad when we leave him, he runs to the window and crys when we leave, but i KNOW it wonly lasts until he cant see us anymore (driving away) my neighbor watched for me. but SOMETIMES he does get into things when we leave for too long. like the other day, when he ate my betta fish food...grr...
