Our New Website…

Breeder Talk

  • Thank you so much curlytails, I really appreciate this feed back :).

    I will let Mr Saba know about the issue, as its all completely above my VERY limited computer knowledge !!! I hope all these issues will be fixed in the next week or so. Unfortunately Mr Saba starts night duty tomorrow night, and he can only sleep and work at this time, so nothing will be done till after he finishes nights !!!

    Thanks again, its this sort of feedback I need to know, so we can try to fix it ;)…

    I hear you about the shipping, last time I looked at maybe importing it was about 1200.00.

    What did Kylie's bitches have? Don't think I remember seeing/hearing

    Tanza, now the shipping from Australia is up to $1700++ so a lot of money..

    She had two litters, Electra had 3 tri boys and one red boy, Delta had 4 red girls and 2 red boys..


  • how much would a red boy cost from most breeders? whATS THE AVERAGE?


  • Very nice web site! I'm a nurse too, but my basenjis are all rescues, so never got into the showing thing. It sounds like you have a lovely life, to match your web site, haha.


  • Nice website…

    Do you mind if I pick a few nits?

    • You need to fix the horizontal scroll bar.
    • Remove all the "welcome to our website" references. Especially the moving graphics. Its not needed and it does nothing for search engine performance. Your intro headline and paragraph needs to follow the "who, what, where and how" style of saying who you are and what the website is about.
    • I would kill some of the white space on the home page.
    • Kill the stats counter and map: this kind of thing has nothing to add for the viewer. Your host should provide YOU with all the stats you need.

    Just my $0.02 anyway...

    how much would a red boy cost from most breeders? whATS THE AVERAGE?

    There are so many variables that it is hard to say..the price various depending on where the puppy is whelped, meaning where the breeder is, if you want show vs pet quality..some breeders charge the same regardless, others charge more for show than pet..I have even seen some "not so reputable" breeders have different prices depending on girl vs boy..but I don't think this is the norm..it sure shouldn't be..I think.


  • @KiroGurl:

    how much would a red boy cost from most breeders? whATS THE AVERAGE?

    In the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic, I'd say a safe estimate is around $1000 - $1200 for a puppy from a responsible, reputable breeder.

    Personally, I haven't found there to be a lot of variables with pricing when you go to a responsible breeder. Off hand, the only real difference in pricing I've seen seems to be that it does vary by region of the US - kind of like everything :D. If a breeder is pricing by colour, male vs. female, or AKC registered/not, I'd immediately look for another breeder - personally I would consider those red flags and RUN. There may be breeders that charge differently for pet vs. show, but there are plenty that don't - none that I've encountered do.

    A good place to start to find a responsible breeder is always the BCOA breeders directory at basenji.org. And don't forget to verify health tests on offa.org

    Pat, I do think that is the plan. They had 3 puppies at the show. I am hopeful they will be able to be an asset to the basenji group. This is such an exciting time for all of us who love these wonderful dogs!

    Ziki is actually younger than Lema and Mopaya so all three were old enough to be presented. One reason dogs may not be presented as soon as they are old enough is that the owners may not have been in a position to get all of the evaluations completed on time. It can be very time consuming to find available evaluators and if they are not near you, it can be expensive to travel to them.

    @Terry: Buana - have you considered collecting Chafuko and using the chilled semen AI? That way neither dog would have to undergo the stress of travel. Terry We never considered that, I will get information about that (for this time it's too late but for a next time) I'ts always good to know.

    With the last litter Milo, the sire/dog, on occasions was a little rough when playing with them but not meaning to be. He is very good with his front paws - could teach him to tie a knot if I had the patience and loves to shake hands and also likes to give things a bit of a tap at times - like the cat when it is asleep - and he can tap a little harder than he means to at times. He's a year older now so I'm hoping he'll be a little more sensitive this time with the pups. Still, I will need to keep an eye on him.
