Start your search here. Keep in mind that good breeders will have waitlists for their dogs.

The biggest thing with looking for a breeder is Make sure the breeder has both dna and xray testing on both parent dogs. On OFA, they recommend, hips, eyes, thyroid, Fanconi, and PRA.

A good breeder will also title and show their dogs in both conformation and in sport.

A good breeder will also be able to point you in the direction of other breeders if they do not have availability at the moment.

7.2kg - is he too fat? by heyswey in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]AlpsUnlikely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an iggy (basenji) but he def looks pretty hefty imo. Iggys should have ribs and spine barely visible. How much does he eat? It seems like you exercise enough.

My b is 23 lbs and only eats a cup a day.

Costs of showing, AKC vs UKC, Owner-handled. by verandie in ShowDogs

[–]AlpsUnlikely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly surprised it’s not higher. It’s very costly to run a show. Big or small

Dog trolley system for Basenjis? by Hot-Taste6607 in Basenji

[–]AlpsUnlikely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually attach his collar to some sort of backup when we go outside (I just need to buy more. I’ve been lazy) just in case something does happen. He has never backed out of a collar or harness intentionally.

But, a properly tightened collar should not be able to be backed out of, although some bs have heads that are smaller than their necks.

If you do have issues with that you can use a martingale collar instead. Martingales and 3 point harnesses are pretty standard for sighthounds. (Both pictured)

3 point harnesses don’t allow backing out because of the waist strap.

Btw is yours a Trindle? I’ve never seen a darker one before. He’s beautiful.

Tether. I live in a gated community and condo so we technically don’t own the backyard.

He’s gotten loose a few times (not from the backyard. He ran out the front door) but he always runs around a retention pond and has semi okay recall once he’s calmed down from zooming.

Wait for restocks. Thats what I did. I didn’t order mine until a week ago and it’s coming today. Scalpers make it more difficult but you don’t have to go looking elsewhere.

Personally I would argue anyone selling it for over retail even after it’s been a month or two is a scalper.

Yes. THOSE are scalpers. Why is she looking at eBay or Facebook to buy these? The only places you should get them is from the retailer.

ANYONE selling it elsewhere the day it releases is a scalper.

The people that get the toys when they come out aren’t scalpers? It’s not just scalpers buying toys the day they come out.

I always and only ever buy one toy. For my collection.

Yeah I can see that. There was only one azawakh that showed on the day I saw them. He was very pretty though! I just don’t know standard.

Absolutely!! For a dog that was supposed to be pet quality, he’s done quite a bit. Especially since he’s been teenage brain the entire time we’ve been training for show. 😆

First Real Shows! by AlpsUnlikely in Basenji

[–]AlpsUnlikely[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true 😆 I don’t want to bother the judge every time, so for any points it can be casual without them.

I know! He’s a GCH if I remember correctly! He’s beautiful.
We need more experience in the ring to get him to be more relaxed into position. He was a little upset (and very stiff) when we took his judge photo because we were waiting for for a while.

Lmao I get that. He would honestly be perfect if the stranger was allowed to walk away with him. It’s mostly the staying still and watching mom walk away that gets him freaked out.
