Meet the breeder
I'm Nancy/Kristi T., the breeder behind Maererano Basenjis located in Lehi, UT. Our goal is to breed healthy, show-quality puppies with stable temperaments. The dogs that we breed have proven themselves in conformation and other dog sports, including lure-coursing and agility. They represent the breed standard, and our program's goal is to continually preserve and improve the breed. We find so much joy in watching our puppies grow and develop their own unique personalities. We can’t wait for you to meet your next loving and loyal companion! **NOTE THAT PUPPIES PLACED IN PET HOMES WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED**.
Q. & A. with Nancy/Kristi
Why did you start breeding?
We got our first Basenji in 1995 and have shown and raised Basenjis since then. We do not breed often, but when we do our puppies are raised in our home and are socialized and worked with from the day they are born. We put a lot of our time, energy and love into our babies and look for the best homes possible for them.What makes your program special?
We follow PC protocols to ensure stable, confident and happy puppies. We have time for prospective puppy parents to come and meet the puppies and interact with them prior to going home. We love to have you come and pick up the puppy and are always willing to help you when questions come up. *PUPPIES PLACED IN PET HOMES WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED*What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and white and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
