9. When are Basenji Puppies Available?

Basenji bitches only come into season once a year, normally in the Autumn for Winter puppies. Occasionally they may have a second season, especially if they live with bitches of other breeds, but this is still somewhat of a rarity.

Thus in Australia, most Basenjis are born in either June or July. If you are interested in purchasing a puppy, it is a good idea to contact breeders from as early as March onwards. Most breeders will gladly take orders for puppies, and occasionally all of the puppies of a given litter may be "spoken for" before they are actually born.
