Scott and I purchased the most amazing and beautiful dark brindle female Basenji puppy from Whitney of Amore Basenji’s in march 2014– Whitney and I spoke for endless hours on facebook before we decided to purchase Zen. I found her to be the most knowledgeable and cooperative breeder anywhere . She health tests all of her puppies which is so important for anyone who is considering purchasing a basenji pup.She also sent us pictures and video on request– Whitney has also continued to be a valuable source of info and support even after the sale. I would highly recommend Whitney to anyone considering the purchase of a well socialized , healthy and loving Basenji pup. I consider Whitney a friend and mentor — she is simply the GREATEST.. we made the right decision and are eternally grateful for the joy our pup brings.. A+ breeder and person.. 5 stars all the way.. 🙂 we HIGHLY recommend !!!

Most satisfied customers EVER!!

My wife and I decided to get a Basenji after 18 years of Chihuahuas. This past January we started the process. Because of timing (outside our control), we had no luck with breeders in NJ, NY, PA, CT, VA and MD. Some were condescending, some talked bad about others, and some discouraged us adding a Basenji to a household with a toddler. Then we found Whitney at Amore Basenjis. I immediately got a different vibe than from the other breeders I spoke to. She was refreshingly honest and straight forward. She was well informed. She obviously loves her dogs and was very careful that they would go to good homes/owners without being condescending. She was available to answer questions. The puppy (Dewey) is beautiful and healthy with a wonderful demeanor and personality. He is fantastic with our son and we love him more and more all the time. I cannot recommend Amore Basenjis highly enough. I would work with Whitney again in a heartbeat.

I would strongly recommend using Amore. Sebastian’s temperament is amazing. He gets along with all people and all dogs he comes in contact with. If he could have an ego it would be inflated by now due to all the compliments he receives. Perhaps, the most impressive take away from my experience is Whitney’s willingness to make herself available to answer any questions almost a year later. This kind of commitment and service separates Amore from the pack. If you are new to the Basenji world like I was or if you have had issues with other breeders, give Amore a try. You won’t be disappointed. Five stars….

Amazing Pup, satisfied customer, enjoyable experience

My parents and I wanted a unique dog. So I was scrolling through recommendations and saw a basenji. I instantly fell in love with the look and hull of the dog. So I was looking where I can pick one up for a good cost and found Whitney at Amores Basenjis and fell in love with a pup named Luna. My father worked a deal to pick Luna up at a dog show. Which Whitney was great in taking time out of her day to help us complete the family! Luna was 15 weeks when we got her. She was very well kept and fairly well behaved which is great for a pup. Luna had the personality of the dog of my dreams so thank you Amore Basenjis for completing my family, we will be back for another one soon enough!!😊

I couldn’t find a Basenji through Basenji Rescue, so I went to breeders in Southern California. No luck. One of the breeders referred me to Amore Basenjis. They were lucky enough to have two litters in 2012. They were all taken, but the breeder kept my name in case one came back. I got the call in March that one of the puppies had to be returned because the new owner had marital problems, and I was next in line. We got my bundle of joy delivered from South Dakota via Pet Shuttle who brought her right to my door. She is a delight. She talks. She snuggles. She drives my male Basenji crazy. She loves the dog park. She is Boots. She owns this house. Everyone loves her except for my adult female Basenji who doesn’t like any other Basenji on this planet.

Megan and I bought a Basenji from Amore Basenjis litter born on January 10, 2014. We could not be any happier with our purchase. Amore worked with us to identify the type of basenji we wanted and helped us through all the steps needed to make a decision. It was a great experience and we felt very comfortable throughout. The puppy we got was a red male which we named Cairo. He is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever known. He came extremely well socialized to people and other dogs. We were very surprised at how well he immediately fit into our family and “pack”!! If you are looking for a trustworthy, dependable breeder who will deliver an outstanding quality dog then Amore Basenjis is the right place!!
