Our Breeding Practices

Behaviour and socialisation

Our puppies are raised in our home and are exposed to a wide range of people and environments from an early age. Because of our work in the pet industry, we regularly have vets, veterinary nurses, pet industry staff, colleagues, friends and family around them, so they become comfortable with different people, voices…

Both Chiku and Mbaku have been health tested through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and are clear/normal for Fanconi Syndrome and Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), two important inherited conditions for Basenjis. We carefully consider health and…

Home environment
