New update: Tika is no longer in heat! Yay! Remy got neutered and is doing great! We got a dog trainer to come in assess the situation and she thinks it is starting to improve compared to how I described it when I booked her to come. Only Maia seems to need the muzzle, she seems to be very unsure of the puppy. We are working with her to build her confidence. The puppy doesn’t seem to have any stress with Maia around and won’t start anything. The muzzle is on just in case when I am home alone as I don’t want anything bad to happen when if I can’t separate them. The puppy is getting lots of training time to help her learn how to behave properly. With 2 people here we can have the girls on short leashes and they are fine together. They did have a small altercation of snarling but no biting and no one got hurt. The older female backed down and walked away. As much as I want her to be the top dog it seems that the puppy has a much more dominant personality. If they figure out the pack hierchy hopefully everything will settle down. The trainer says there are no pack instincts in domesticated dogs, but after having 6 basenjis I can’t agree with that in regards to basenjis. We can walk the girls together without muzzles now so I think things are more positive and they seem to be improving every day. When Remy is healed from his neuter I will get the puppy spayed and hope that calms things down even further. So far there is a lot more peace in the house. Please anyone let me know if there is anything else I should be doing to keep these girls on track. Thank you for all your advice and guidance! I am so grateful for this forum as what is normal for other dogs is not so much with these guys!
Found: Basenji prints
-
the prints are lovely and realy interesting. Good luck having them restored and enjoy them

Wow, I was just reading everyone's input and knowledgeable input at that! Those prints are so neat a find! I find that the depiction of the Basenji is so close to what we can see in our domesticated breed of today. My husband (who I don't give enough credit to sometimes….)even saw how the legs on the B on the guy's shoulder were extended straight out- Love the detail, and as B owners, we all can appreciate the detail I am sure!

I should have included this in my first post.
Do they have a bamboo type frame around them?
Gee, I don't know. I just went and looked at the frames. Actually they could be bamboo. They are very hard and dense, so hard I thought they were a colored plastic. But there is a grain, and whoever framed them had them framed with non-glare glass. I would think if they had them framed by a frame shop and used non-glare glass, they wouldn't use plastic frames. Does it mean anything if the frame is bamboo? Only one of the four is signed. And the signature is so faded that I couldn't make it out until CongoMama told me who had done them.

I forget the years that the original prints were advertised for sale, but they were sold in sets of four and they were offered unframed and framed. I may be remembering wrong but I believe they were advertised for $15.00 for the set of four or $25.00 for the set of four framed. Obviously that was MANY years ago. I believe the framed ones were framed in bamboo or a bamboo look alike. That is why I asked about the frames.
If they are originals they are definately coveted by many people and worth quite a lot, so please take care with them.

The artists full name is John Fulton Short (Congomama - note the correct spelling of Fulton), Short being the third name you can not make out Holly.
You can read about him here:

Pretty interesting life, IMO.
I will scour my old Bulletin and/or BASENJI issues to see if I can learn more.

I am sure you can sell them for a nice bit of $$ if you decide not to keep them..but why wouldn't you want them for your family?
Good care of these artworks will keep their value for many years to come. -
I have a full set of four prints. They are numbered 36/100. They have never been framed nor have they been subject to sunlight. The colors are still splendid.
I started out with Basenji in the late 50's and 60's. My parents bought our first puppy from the Belmont-Ward kennels. Our first little girl was Tina; bought as pet quality but getting her CH within 6 months. I, at a young age and my parents as well were friends with Damera Bolte, breading with one of her Sires.
I live in Denver, Colorado and would be interested in letting the prints go to a good home who would appreciates the quality and who would know that they are making an offer for rare, fine quality prints. -
Can you send us a photo of each of the prints please?
-
This is a pic of all four together. I will also get the camera ready and take each individually.
-
I would be interested in those.

Information in next post.

Yes, I am interested in the pictures, but at this time of year there are a lot of scams going around. I hope you understand that. There would have to be some way for you to verify you have these prints. So, despite being interested in these, I am a little hesitant.

I think ebay might be the best option. I think they'd be great to have, but have no idea what sort of price 50's is thinking about. (Also, I'd be happy to drive up to Denver to pick them up if they were to live at my house.
) -
they are great. I can think many of us would like to own them, but I agree with Fran. We need something to assure we are getting what we see.

Hmmmm… no response from 50's Basenji?
-
Fran, not everyone hangs onto the boards– I'd give them a day or 2.

Yes Debra, you're right. Some folks are not addicted to the forum!

Well, there are also those who try to take advantage. Not that this is the case, just saying…
