Found: Basenji prints

Basenji Talk

  • 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.


  • Thanks for sharing, will post on the basenji group Mexico, of FB, hope you dont mine :-)
    Very lovely pictures!

  • First Basenji's

    hi, how fasinating…..........you certainly did stike gold.THEY ARE WONDERFUL and very interesting, we too are fairly new to basenjis we have a lovely boy wing co short for wing commander. he is a joy..
    thanks for sharing theas picyures..


  • 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.

    You're a very new member to this forum, just this month. 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…


  • Been sick as a puppy. it is taking a lot just to get this out.
    Not trying to take advantage.
    As I said in my first post, I have been long in the basenji community getting my first in the late 50's. My parents were very strong in the BCOA. I even work with someone involved with rescue. Not sure she wants her name out there though.
    I will be back.


  • Well, take care and get better.

    When you are up to it, the conversation can continue. For now, chicken soup, tea, lots of rest and follow doctor's orders.

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!
