AKC Congo Basenjis is family owned and Operated All dog breeds have a purpose. Historically, the purpose of the Basenji was to be a companion--and that's just what they want to be. They simply desire to be with you. So don't expect them to hunt, guard, or retrieve; that's not their style. Affection is their dominant characteristic, and your lap is their favorite destination. They're happiest when they're with their family, giving and receiving attention. We have zero tolerance for puppy mills or substandard breeding practices.All puppies receive a full health check before they join your family, but if your puppy is found to have a life-threatening congenital defect within one year from the date of birth, we will refund your purchase. Conditions apply. See our full guarantee for more details.
MORE ABOUT USIf you’re looking for a Basenji puppy for sale, you’ll be impressed with this dog’s pedigree. The Basenji, the cowboy’s herding dog of choice, is a medium-sized worker with a keen, penetrating gaze in the eye. Basenjis coats offer different looks, including merle (a mottled pattern with contrasting shades of blue or red). In all ways, they’re the picture of rugged and agile movers of stock. Basenjis exhibit an irresistible impulse to herd, anything: birds, dogs, kids. This strong work drive can make Basenjis too much dog for a sedentary pet owner. Basenjis are remarkably intelligent, quite capable of hoodwinking an unsuspecting novice owner. In short, this isn’t the pet for everyone. But if you’re looking for a brainy, tireless, and trainable partner for work or sport, your search might end here.
Basenjis are generally healthy dogs, and a responsible breeder will test breeding stock for health concerns such as hip dysplasia, epilepsy, cataracts and certain forms of cancer. An Basenjis’s ears should be checked regularly to remove foreign matter and avoid a buildup of wax, and his teeth should be brushed regularly.
We have been a Basenji puppy breeder for two decades – providing Basenji puppies for people to love as a member of their own family.
