well im not going to breed my dog i was making a fact that to one of the members on here that i could breed my dog if i wanted to, and i could breed her only for money purposes too if i wanted. Im not going to i was just trying to make a point that shes my dog. Cause i believe the member of this forum said "just to have puppies is not a good enough reason for a responsible breeder"

i think its odd that the parents have to be from the AKC to have your dog registered with the AKC. If i went to africa and got a basenji i couldnt even get the dog registered with AKC and its straight from where basenji's came from. I understand what your saying about it costs money to take care of them thats why they charge so much.

your wayyyyyyyy nicer than tanza about this subject. Anyone i come across and talk to about dogs i hear…"i payed a bundle for my dog" breeding dogs for the purpose of breeding dogs is how it should be done but i can guarantee there are more people out there that are doing it the right way of breeding but they are charging a lot of money which means they are doing it for profit. If someone just wants to breed a dog just for breeding dogs the right way shouldn't be charging these ridiculous prices you see online and in the news paper. I guess all im trying to say is even if a breeder is breeding just for breeding purposes they are still looking to make money plain and simple and people on here act as if thats not true so thats why im upset because yes my breeder may have been a backyard breeder but no one knows exactly for sure. But the fact that everyone said she was just selling the pups just to make profit i can say that about legit breeders also. And i feel like people aren't saying outright but leaning towards that the fact my basenji may not be a full line of basenji's and of course im going to be defensive about my dog ya know what i mean. Im not trying to be rude i apologize if i came across rude. Sorry people i may have offended

I dont appreciate the fact that you say "just to have puppies is not a good enough reason for a responsible breeder" I personally can breed her for any reason i want. If your a breeder, your going to sell them. You say a person who sells dogs just for profit is wrong and irresponsible well you tell me why people sell dogs for $1000 to $2000. You cant say anything about people selling dogs just for the money because if someone is charging 1000 to 2000 dollars then i wonder what their intentions are for selling their "award winning dogs" If a responsible breeder cares about the breed then the amount they sell the dogs for wouldn't matter.

say i wanted to breed her start with her as being the first generation. Couldnt i get her AKC registered if i wanted to start with her?

so first, just keep the APRI registation. Dont sign up for it, keep the registration for my records for just because purposes? But do sign up for this PAL/ILP? Is this a normal registration for a dog? Not just for competing?

is that bad her parents were sold at auction. she told me that she wasn't going to be breeding basenjis anymore after this last litter. I dont know what coursing means or rally etc etc. Sorry im just an owner of a dog i dont know technical terms. ALl i know is i just want her to be 100% perfect health etc etc, and want her to be tested for everything that u guys recommend for perfect growing up health

i'd prefer to hear what your thoughts of this 1derfool. No need to hold your tongue. I would like to find out anything you say. Hey you guys if i dont register her with the APRI can i get her registered with the AKC? Should i contact the breeder and ask if my basenji's parents have any diseases etc etc. What do you think i should do?
