Looking for a Breeder in NW Ohio

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • Have you visited www.basenji.org to find a breeder you might connect with? There is a breeder referral list at the Parent club site

  • Welcome to the forum! Thanks for sharing your cute boys with us!

  • Welcome to the forum and to your smiling boys. I do know just how much corgis can shed so I sympathise with you.

  • Welcome to the forum, www.basenjirescue.org also has lovely b's that need homes.
    If your interested.

  • Cute Corgis! Keerwashere and I are practically neighbors! Unfortunately, there isn't really anybody in our area breeding this year. But I have invited her to come visit our crazy group :)

  • I have visited the BCOA website and basenjis.org but the few people I have been in contact with either aren't breeding currently, or stopped breeding. I don't mind traveling an hour or so but I was really hoping someone within an hour would be the perfect match because I'd love to visit often. Naivety, I guess.

    I looked at the B rescue site as well, but since I'm not looking for anything right now, it's mostly just been, "Aww she's cute!" I absolutely don't mind adopting a rescue, but at this point, I really want to find someone who has a lot of Bs close by so I can experience the breed more. I fostered a tricolor girl for 6 weeks and loved her, but she was rather reserved and the only issues I had with her was climbing the fence to play with the neighbor dogs. She didn't chew or chase the other animals (even squirrels and rabbits in the yard were safer with her than with my Corgi!).

    Just like the "negatives" with my boys, I want to be able to fully judge and evaluate multiple Bs to make sure that I can handle their "downfalls". The chewing I can live with as I'm rather tidy, and the quirky noises would be nothing new to me since Eddy makes a wide array of noises when sleeping or waiting for a toy to be thrown. I think anyone looking to get a specific breed of dog should spend a lot of time with that breed because there are a lot of people who see perfect representations of, say, a Labrador and get one and discover that the dog is "too large" and chews and digs and makes messes and isn't aware of his size. Shelters would be a lot less full if people experienced the breed in more personal ways instead of just seeing the cute puppy and the well-behaved dogs on tv.

    /end rant!

  • @keerwashere:

    I wish I had fostered a few more before deciding on the breed because I was not ready for the assault of fur, haha.

    ROFLMAO, when I researched Rottweilers I did so extensively. The ONE thing I never considered was shedding. I thought .. short coat, how much can they shed? OMG. I now tell people interested in Rotties they only shed one time a year, but unfortunately it lasts 365 days. My husband swears there is still Mukat hair in the living room. Mukat died 4 yrs ago. He might be right, lol. I feed quality food, supplements, everything that is supposed to reduce shedding… even run humidifier even though not good for my asthma. Nope, shed they did.

    Your guys are cute!

    Well you should keep fostering for BRAT. That way you can experience several by the time you are ready to get your own. :)

  • Its very sensible to visit Basenji homes and get experiences from those who live with Basenjis. I'm pleased that Quercus is nearby.

    I no longer breed but my home is always open (and I get plenty of visits) to any one in the UK who is the slightest bit interested in seeing what it's like to live with these addictive and beautiful Basenjis (drawbacks and all!!)

  • I met this breeder several years ago and she was really great http://www.rugosabasenjis.com/. Her name is Vickie and she's up in the same area as you. Send her an email and see what she says.

    Good luck!

  • Vickie doesn't breed any longer, but I am sure she would love to talk about Basenjis and could refer you to other breeders in the area.

    @tanza said in I'm looking for a reputable breeder in Norcal Or just in the US in general: @morsesa - Please is this not a post done over and over? It's okay @tanza, you may not realize that you repeat the same post over and over as well. Certain situations seem to call for the same, or very similar, responses.

    @liz-falzone Not sure if you are one of the 60 or so would-be Basenji puppy purchasers who has emailed me privately - PC is in the hospital and I am working on my laptop so can't access the list. But that alone does tell you a great deal ! I haven't bred a litter for 12 years now but am still getting enquiries - current breeders are also inundated. We have been weeding through enquirers, putting many people off this challenging breed if they should perhaps look elsewhere, and filling lists of known 2020 winter breeders. Many have been accepting visitors and establishing a relationship. And have closed lists. But breeders this winter seem to be holding their cards close to their chests, Rescues have been rehomed and Breed Clubs don't have many intended pairings listed. I may be able to help but need to know a great deal more about you - location, knowledge of the breed, children, working from home etc. My email addresses are on the websites listed in my signature bloc

    @nomrbddgs: I did find a lady for you, unfortunately, Luther is sick and has taken a turn for the worse recently, so that meeting was cancelled even before I could tell you. I haven't found anyone else remotely close. Sorry!!! Thanks very much! We greatly appreciate your help. Let us know if you hear of any other Saskatchewan Basenjis for us to meet!
