ANY BREEDERS IN THE NORTH EAST WITH PUPS AVAILABLE.GUIDELINE ON PRICES.

You should contact the Kennel club who will be able to give you 'Breed Club' contacts. Be prepared for a thorough grilling Basenji owners are very keen to avoid unwanted, possibly harmful publicity for their primitive little breed. Following his win at Crufts the owner refused all interviews such as Blue Peter to protect his breed from unscrupulous, or ignorant potential new owners.

The fact that the breed does not bark, does not mean they are silent, quite the reverse. They are a conneseurs breed. they are primitive in nature, somewhat more cat like in character, with a strong hunting instinct. They are quite charming, but you should visit several club members, and possibly find out who near you has them as pets, go for a walk with the owners, and spend a good few hours getting a feel for them. Also the availability of puppies is small, you will need to put your name down with a reputable breeder, assuming you pass muster, in the main they only come in season once a year (as do all wild canids) which is in the Autumn!

Check out our Basenji Information and Breeders list.You will find details of the breed clubs etc and maybe one of the breeders on the list can recommend a litter to you :-)
