If you are thinking of raising a Basenji puppy as a pet and you want to get this canine from a breeder, then it is very important that you try to get the pup only from a trusted breeder. There are several breeders present today who don’t give that much attention to the health and quality of the canines that they are providing to the potential dog parents and they are just looking to increase their profits by any means. But, on the other hand, there are also some breeders in this country who not only care about the prospective dog parents’ needs and requirements but most importantly they are highly passionate about canines and other animals. They give immense importance to a canine’s health, fitness, and quality and thus, these are the type of breeders that you should be looking to get your pups from.

Factors Affecting the Basenji Price in India

Now there are various factors that can affect the original Basenji price in India. These factors are as follows:

Type

There are three different price categories for a Basenji dog (in India): Basic, KCI Registered and Show Quality.

• Basic category includes all those dogs and puppies that are not registered to any kennel club including KCI. A basic Basenji puppy can cost anywhere around ₹30,000.
• KCI is short for Kennel Club of India and if a dog belongs to KCI Registered category, then it means you will get a canine whose quality is up to the mark. You will also be able to participate in KCI dog shows if your canine is registered and also you will get a KCI registration certificate.
• A Show Quality dog means that the canine is closest to the ideal as mentioned in the Breed Standards. If you are not planning to participate in dog shows with your pooch, then it does not matter all that much whether you buy a Show Quality dog or a normal Pet Quality one.

Physical Attributes and Characteristics

Basenji dogs can have a lot of different coat colors such as Black & White, Black Tan & White, Brindle & White, Red & White, Blue Belton and based on the rarity of these coat colors, the overall price of these pooches might vary. The rarer the coat color, the higher might be the price of the Basenji dogs.

Age & Gender

Usually, breeders tend to sell male dogs at a higher cost as compared to their female counterparts. And younger dogs and puppies are sold at a higher price by the breeders as compared to the older or fully grown canines.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred Basenji is higher than the mixed-breed as there are lesser chances for a purebred puppy to develop hereditary health problems as compared to the one that is mixed-breed.

Availability and Location

It is mostly seen that canines that are easily available in a region tend to cost less than the dogs that are harder to find in that region. In case of Basenji dogs, they have a mediocre availability in the country, thus, the overall price of these canines is a bit on the higher side.

Reputed Breeder

Many popular and reputed breeders are known to sell dogs at a fairly higher price as compared to other breeders who are not so well known. But usually, getting a dog from a reputable breeder instead of any random unreliable breeder means you are getting a canine that is fit, fine and free of any health-related issues.

Miscellaneous Factors

• Champion Bloodline: If a dog belongs to a champion bloodline, meaning any of its predecessors (forefathers) were given the title of Champion in an official dog event, then its price can also go fairly high.
• Microchip: The price of a dog can also increase if it has been microchipped by the KCI. The extremely small pet microchip helps in providing a permanent ID for your pet.
