Frequently Asked Questions
*Please email us at triforcebasenjis@gmail.com for puppy inquiries and any questions*
Question: What age can your puppies go to their new homes? Around 10 weeks. We follow the puppy culture program and want our puppies to leave at a more appropriate age.
Question: How much do your puppies cost? Price will vary based on the litter and puppy. All potential puppy homes must complete our puppy application/screening.
Question: What paperwork or contract comes with the puppy? Is there a health guarantee? Puppies all go with AKC Limited Registration (no breeding rights), a one-year health guarantee, vaccination health record, microchip information for registration, and lifetime breeder support.
Question: What health testing do you perform on the parents? Answer: I fully do the OFA health testing. All my basenjis and all their links to the OFA website can be found on their page, or I can send the link. We strongly believe in health testing. Don't be fooled by unscrupulous backyard breeders or mills claiming to do health tests when all they do is maybe a cheap embark or vet visit. All reputable breeders will list health testing on OFA. Recommend testing for basenjis include Hips, Thyroid, Eyes, Fanconi, and PRA. I also do Patella and Cardiac.
Question: Are deposits refundable? Answer: No, all deposits are non-refundable. Deposits can be moved to a future litter on a case-by-case basis. Puppy payments are also non-refundable, and refunds are made case-by-case.
Question: Can we visit the puppies? If one has their name on the waitlist and the puppies are at a stage where they can start socializing, then YES! :) The puppies love meeting new people. We also welcome friends to see the puppies and, case by case, those we speak to who may be interested in getting a puppy from that litter. However, It will always depend on the puppy's age and where they are with the puppy culture program. We also post a lot of videos of the puppies on our Instagram stories so if you follow you'll be able to see more than just the posts.
