Dog would be free to the right home. If very far from me, (eastern Wyoming, US) new owner would need to either come get her or pay shipping after the interviews. Current owner/breeder reserves the right to make all final decisions regarding placement of the dog.

If interested, contact me by e mail or Personal Message and I will give your application to the breeder. Serious inquiries only, please.

This IS for real.

You did not include: Must not play fiddle!

A friend had a male Basenji some years back that nearly ruined his fiddle playing. The moment he put bow to strings, no matter where that damned Basenji was, it would rush in, sit down at his feet, throw its head back and howl! I can only assume it had a hardwired "join in with the pack howl" reflex that identifies the sound of the fiddle with race memories of the African Veldt.

I would also query the "Fenced yard—4 ft. minimum". On the basis of this one, I would suggest 6 ft. with overhanging wire entanglements. Basenjis may be a bit short of the average cat's climbing ability ... but this one was over a 5 ft. fence like greased lightning.

I wish more people homing dogs would take as much care as this, there would be far fewer strays and bad owners don't you think?

Our Skye Terriers send love to the Basenji.

Sorcha.. we hope to be at Crufts, one day to show and one day to display on the Skye Terrier stand at 'Discover Dogs'. This is an exhibition for all breeds reistered with the UK Kennel Club. The aim is to help educate the public in canine care. It is a very busy day but rewarding and my dog Somhairle loves the attention of 'his public' ( it could be to do with doggie treats) *BG*

Mrs. C

JoJo is the "least" show-able of them all, so it's going to be JoJo that goes. Her puppies sell for $350.00, but her "placements" are free. This could be a real deal for someone who wants a Basenji. Her requirements are quite strict, and as far as I know, she has never had a "return" dog.

The only Return my Corgi breeder has ever had was a sad one. The Corgi witnessed his human Dad kill his human Mom........and was a basket case afterwards. It was 3 days before the murder was discovered and the Corgi spent all 3 days under the toilet in the bathroom where his dead Mom was. She did finally place in a great home, though, and he is doing just fine!

Any takers yet for JoJo ?
