I would say that if one had planned to get a pup before this all occurred, then perhaps it would be good timing, as it would give one the opportunity of spending more time with the pup in the crucial early days. Of course things will change and the routine will be different, but there are ways to ease into the new schedule so it isn't an abrupt shift from always being there to suddenly being absent.
Looking for puppy or younger basenji near Chicago north suburbs
-
It has been over a year since we had to let our 16.5 year old basenji go due to old age. We got her as a rescue when she was 4 mo. from Hammond, IN. Ready to start again. Signed up for BRAT -only offered older dogs so far. Any suggestions for finding a puppy or younger basenji close enough to Chicago to drive and pick up?

Check with breeders on the BCOA site, many have young males that have finished their championship and are looking for a home.

I was just at a show and met with a breeder who has four basenji puppies available, I believe they are three black and white and one red?

Thanks for letting me know about these pups. I got a wonderful boy from Michelle Gaghan Rafikis Basenjis this spring so no longer looking.
