basenjis

Lately I've been getting plently of calls and emails about our future pups. I am pleased to say that I have found a suitable boy for Amira (UKC Ch. Mandalay's Til We Meet Again CGN). We hope to breed either this year or next. The father is UKC CKC Ch. Bluestones Lord Of The Hunt RChX (Gryphon) a beautiful rich Brindle boy who loves to race (he is one of the Top racing Basenjis across Canada) and is as sweet as sweet can be. With both dogs being sound, meetin the breed standard, super sweet and having a love for racing this litter should be outstanding. I will soon be posting pictures of Gryphon. If you are interested in a Amira/Gryphon pup please contact us at 519-697-3647(DOGS). I hope to have both dogs at the upcomong RBCSWO show June 30 & July 1st in Ancaster for people to meet.

Welcome to Mandalay Basenjis, a small family run kennel located in London, Ontario. Our dogs are registered with CKC, AKC, UKC, ASCA, NAMASCUSA & MASCA. Please take a moment to view our website and all it has to offer.

We are owned by 3 Basenjis (Jet (13), Patience (6) & Amira (2)) and 1 North American Shepherd (Novi 11 mths). We here at Mandalay are proud of the fact that all of our dogs have Championship and Canine Good Neighbor Titles. All of our dogs have multiple titles and participate in various activities such as Conformation, Obedience, Rally, Agility and Racing. Our dogs participate at various venues such as CKC, AKC, UKC, RBCOSWO, MASCA, NAMASCUSA, ASCA, ICKC, CARO & CARA. We take the time to find out where each of dog excels and let them participate in the activites that they enjoy. I am here to answer any of your questions you may have and if you are interested in participating in our Dog Sports then I will help you get started.

 If you are still researching the breed then I would also recommend the Basenji CLub of America and Basenji Club of Canada websites. Both sites offer tons of info on this unique breed. Contacting breeders and going to dog shows to meet the breed are also great ways of learning to see if this is the breed for you. If you feel that the Basenji is the dog for you then please call us at 519-697-DOGS (3647). If long distance is a concern for you then I can call you.

 Hope this website answers some of your questions and I can always be contacted to answer any others you may have. Good Luck in your search for your Basenji.

Amira and Novi are Mandaly's newest CGN recipients! I am proud to say that ALL dogs living at Mandaly are titled at both ends and they ALL have Championships and Canine Good Neighbor. A CGN test is a series of "tests" to see how your dog behaves "in public". Tests include meeting a stranger, walking on a loose lead, passing another dog and recall. Both the CKC and AKC offer these tests and any breed cann participate. For more info about CGN feel free to visit www.ckc.ca or www.akc.org.

We just got back from the United Kennel Club Show in Erin, Ontario this past weekend and WOW what a weekend we had.

Mom and daughter Patience and Amira both finished their UKC Championships with Group Placements (with competition). Amira showed once and placed 3rd in Group and Patience showed 4 times and won 4 Group 4 placements!

Ai (Dice's Eskie) is now the First American Eskimo with a UKC Lure Coursing Title! She obtained her Coursing Aptitude (CA) title this weekend. Congrats to DIce and Ai!

I showed an Eskie for a friend and won Best of Breed (3 out of 4 shows) from the classes over Champion and Grand Champions, 3 Group 1's and a Reserve Best in Show!

So you have decided on adding a Basenji to your home. I found this year that a lot of breeders did not breed so there wasn't a lot of pups available. I would suggest getting an older pup or dog. I personally adopted a 10 year old Basenji who lived to be 17 years old! You may think that a 8 year old dog is too old but what if he lived to be 17? Then you would have owned him for 9 years! Some dogs don't even live to be 9. Wouldn;t it be better to have a few happy years with a dog knowing that you are giving them a great home to spend the rest of their days in? There are various older dogs out there right now looking for homes. They range in age from 1-6 years old. Please contact us at 519-697-3647 so I can connect you with these amazing dogs!

When purchasing a pup from us we believe in helping you out as much as we can to make this transition as easy as we can for you and your pup. Therefore all Mandalay Basenjis will go home with the following:

*CKC and UKC papers

*OFA Fanconi Test Results

*First set of shots

*Vet records

* 6 weeks of Petsecure Pet Insurance

*20lb bag of puppy food

*Baby book of your pups pictures from birth - they go home

*Toy(s)

* Blanket that they grew up with

*1 year membership to the Basenji Club of Canada

*1 year subscription to "The Latest Wrinkle" the BCOC newsletter

*Breeder after care for the life of your puppy

*Breeder baby-sitting service if you need to leave puppy while away on business or vacation

So you have done all your research (reading, visiting breeders, going to dog shows and talking to Basenji owners) and you have decided on adding a Basenji to your home. Now what?

1) Read over my website and then contact me by calling 519-697-3647. If long distance is a concern for you then I can call you back after 7pm (EST). This gives us both a chance to answer any "upfront" questions we may have for each other.

2) You will then be welcome to come and meet the pups. At this time you will recieve "Puppy Pack" #1. This will give you more info about Basenjis and you can go home and think about whcih pup you liked best.

3) After we decide that a Mandalay Basenji is for you then I will mail out "Puppy Pack #2". This includes info about how to prepare for your new arrival, crate training, housebreaking, feeding, basic training and lots more.

4) We will then make arrangements to get together to go over the contract and tidy up any outstanding paperwork. I prefer to have paperwork done before the pup goes home as there is so much excitiment when bringing home your pup I don't want you to misunderstand anything you will be signing. *Depending on the situation you MAY be able to bring your pup home at this stage.

5) A few days later you will be able to take your pup home. Make sure you bring a crate, blanket and collar for your pup. I will not let any dog go home unless it is in a crate. Delivery could be arranged depending on everyone involved.

I am pleased to announce that we finally have the Fanconi Test results. For those who don't know Fanconi is an adult onset kidney disease. If caught in time it can be controlled with 11 or so pills a day so it is not something that we want to see Basenjis getting. I am please to announce that my girls are clear for Fanconi and Liam is a carrier. What that means is Liam should not get Fanconi but if bred to a carrier he could produce it. I have copies of the OFA test results as well as the explanation of what clear, carrier and afflicted are for each of my puppy people. For more info about this disease please visit Basenji Club of Canada, Basenji Club of America or the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) websites.

Well it seems that any email I get regarding a Basenji pup only has one question in it. That is "how much for the pups?" Buying a purebred dog is not like going to Wal-Mart to buy clothes. It is not one price / size fits all. My pups sell between $800 and $950.00. The price depends on if it is a Co-Own, show home, non-show home. The best thing to do is check out our website, call us and make arrangements to meet our pups. After meeting our pups we will discuss which one is best suited for you and then discuss the price, Hope this clears up any questions you may have about the price.
