Looking for a basenji in Texas area or somewhere close


  • I've been interested in basenjis since I learned about them last year. Now I've decided we are ready to welcome one into our home. I live 45 mins south of Houston but wouldn't mind driving a reasonable distance for a reputable breeder. I am already aware of all the genetic problems and testing that need to be done on this breed. If anyone knows of a good trustworthy breeder anywhere close to me please let me know. Im also in no rush so I wouldn't mind being added to a wait list. Thanks!


  • Hi !!!!

    I am the district coordinator for Texas- Basenji Rescue And Transport.

    I urge you to check out our rescues, and I can contact you with the rescues that arent listed on the website. I assure you there are at least 75-100 basenjis in rescue care at any given time even if they arent istedon the website yet.

    Please consider adopting a rescue today! www.basenjirescue.org.
    Fill out the adoption application to get started.

    Thanks!


  • Alright thanks! I looked into rescues last night but I only found a few in my area. I'll go fill out an application though and see if there may be a dog near by that can join our family.


  • Brat is a wonderful group and we are all looking forward to hearing if your able to adopt a basenji from them. Please keep us posted.


  • Keep in mind that if the dog is able, we can look for volunteers to help transport the dog to you. :) Let me know if you have any questions!


  • I'm going pick up a brand-new puppy from south Texas this Thursday! The breeder has a few puppies that have not been sold yet. She has plenty of info on her site: Dee's Basenjis

    Go to the "Puppies now available" on top. You can't have mine though ;)


  • The Basenji Club of America has a breeder directory on the website. Have you checked there yet?


  • http://deesbasenjis.tripod.com/d/
    Check out Dee's Basenjis she's top of the line.


  • Please look into a higher quality food. The breeder feeds Pedigree. You can compare foods at this website. They rate dog foods based on a star system ranging from 1 to 6 (best). Pedigree is a 1 star food. There are better choices that these puppies should be fed.

  • Jayden is one of Deesbasenjis. He was a year old 31st of Dec and I got him in March. Dee is really nice lady and Jayden great puppy into everything but good. Had trouble with him and the kennel did not like sleeping in it but in time that went away. I flew from Kansas to Texas and Dee drove and brought me Jayden to the airport super nice of her. I seen the other day she had one male red and white left. Let me know if you get one.

  • Good luck in your search for you basenji I love this breed and I hope you find the perfect dog for your home.


  • @bbozer:

    My name is Braden and I have an available litter of puppies in Arlington, Tx. This is my first litter so I am not sure if I would fall under the reliable breeder title that you are looking for. But I have a post that you can look at on my available puppies and parents history under Basenji puppies available Arlington, Texas. Good luck in your search for you basenji I love this breed and I hope you find the perfect dog for your home.

    A litter that you apparently haven't had health tested…


  • Braden, have you done any health testing on the sire/dam?

    Oddly enough, there is another person in Spain needing to rehome their Basenji puppy. The fellow's girlfriend does not like dogs. The topic is "Basenji puppy for adoption (Spain)" and the guy is @Luc21. Hope you can contact him.

    @debradownsouth - Correct Debra, many breeders will say that and there is really nothing to stop them. However check out Sally's pedigree sight the only ones that are noted with the DNA results for Fanconi or PRA are the ones that were tested by OFA, not any of the ones noted as clear by parents. There is really nothing wrong with saying clear by parents but each breeder makes their own decision about this. For me, I would prefer to test.

    Michael Graves gave me a more inclusive list of breeders in Texas. Looks like the BCOA website might need to be updated. His list seems to capture the same people yall are recommending. I spoke to Anne and she has a few adults, but likely not a good match. She is 8 hours away too, so going to try and see what is available closer. Planning to reach out to your suggestions and his list this weekend. Thank you all!

    My gut feeling is if you can't find a dog who is utterly good with cats already, your best and safest bet is a puppy. I suggest you get on a couple of breeder's list and wait for the perfect pup for your house.
