Our mission is to produce excellent temperament, with health a big consideration in our breeding program. All of our breeding stock is health tested, including the NEW DNA test for Fanconi status. Click on the BCOA button and follow the links for information about the NEW DNA test.
Sonbar basenjis have many generations of eye exam results and hip xrays (OFA) results for you to examine.
We breed only AKC registered basenjis, most of them are also AKC champions. We breed our girls to AKC Champion males.
