B Calendar

Locked Off Topic

  • @lvoss:

    I would be in support of a calendar where the proceeds are donated to the Basenji Health Endowment. If members of the forum are interested, we can research printing costs and have a photo contest to select which photos will be used.

    Yes I like that idea :) Let me know if I should start some research! :)


  • Great Ideas!

    Please private message us with any type of ideas for commercial or non-profit activities associated with Basenji Forums community.

    We are currently working on setting up a store where you could purchase Basenji Forums related merchandise including photo calendars and tshirts.

    Thank you,

    I would also support that idea:D


  • I think a calendar with the proceeds to the Basenji Health Endowment would be a great idea…. It could be done on Cafe Press and then there would be no inventory needed


  • Cafepress is pretty expensive, although they have a lot more products to choose from compared to some other similar online print shops.


  • Since Nina has volunteered to do some research on what our printing options might be, I think we should take her up on it. :)


  • I know I use winkflash to print out all my digital prints. You can upload prints & create calendars on their website for only $10-17 each (depending on the size) & then add another $3 for shipping.


  • Please PM us your findings and suggestions.

    Shortly we will announce Basenji Forums community photo voting contest. Most voted photos will go into the Basenji Forums calendar and screensaver.

    Thank you everyone!


  • I think BCOA is doing a calendar for 2009…pretty sure I read that on their website...the theme is puppy pics and the deadline is end of March.

    Pat, seeing as you are a board member...do you know where the proceeds from that will go or could you find out?

    I am available to help in any way the admin sees fit :)


  • i'd definately buy like 10 and give them out for christmas or something everyone needs a good calendar.. :D

    you can get 100 in color for $748.99
    so thats like $7.50 a piece, if you sell them for 15 + shipping, you'd be donating $750 to the Basenji Health Endowment

    I agree… and yes Cafepress is more expensive, but unless someone can afford to pay up front and carry the inventory and do all the mailing, it is an option. We have run into this many times especially when we did the BCONC fund raiser for the stuff toys (which by the way, Brindles are still available)...
    And it was not "fun" worrying about all the shipping...


  • So many wonderful pictures, It may prove difficult picking just 12.;)

    Some sort of selection process would have to be decided on.

    I've used forums that have a voting feature, I don't know how we do it here.

    2 Calendars perhaps…...puppies and adults????

    Just some thoughts ladies and gents........carry on.:D


  • Voting would seem to work best. Most people would be happy then.

    Me too!!!

    Okay…that apparently is too short to be a message!

    Fun, fun, fun!


  • You know you could actually put more than 1 photo per month. If someone took a few photos for each month & made it into a college then you could easily include 4-5 even 6 photos on every month vs. just 1. This would be nice since there are so many members & so many beautiful doggies & I'm sure most individuals would want to see their B in the calendar!

    We only want your deep thoughts.:D :D

    The proceeds for that will go to fund the 2008 National Specialty, I think.

    HAHAHA…CUTE! I need to show this to my vizsla, maybe he'll learn how to cover himself instead of standing next to me whining until I get up and raise the covers for him. Yes, he has me trained well.

    Hi IMBJ, I'm not in Japan but my son & grandsons live in the Bay Area and he has a friend who teaches in Tokyo. No word yet from her. I'm glad so glad the tsunami spared SF. I hope you and your B are okay!

    @Natalplum: You both are in my thoughts. I hope your DH comes home safe and healthy. You will NEVER be lonely with your B's around. They are the best to call on for some love and comfort. Not to mention a lot of laughs! That's the best thing having a B brought into my life. I was so depressed, and then along came a B to make me laugh again. Worth their weight in gold, for sure….

    Good to know about the Vizslas.. really lovely dogs - I met one at my Vet office the other day and he was a truly stunning dog. The owner told me they are super up for hiking which was a major plus. Gotta love our dogs who keep our toes jumping, heheh! Looove the Shiba-Inu story! I have been wary of the Shibas cause I have met more than a handful - and none of them turned out to be very nice with ppl out side of "their ppl". I was afraid they might be too sensitive for my lifestyle, but they are soooooo pretty!! With those coats! –if you make it over you can bring your BW =) heheh! This is just a random side comment - but in looking at a bunch of different breeders, I'm surprised that so many of them don't describe their dogs temperaments/behaviors etc. They talk about their breeding programs but not much about the dogs - seems like every real Basenji breeder's site has a page devoted to 'WARNING!' curious owners to be.. heheh! although I read this on a Husky breeders site and I had to laugh: "Left unattended for long periods of time can lead them to seeking something to take the place of that lack of attention. They may even tear something up." rephrased in Basenji terms: Left unattended for long or short periods of time will lead them to seeking something to take the place of that lack of attention..They will utterly destroy a variety of objects in your house, this is to be expected. Deal.
