It’s great that you’re doing your homework on the basenji. I think the reason you read all these “horror stories” is because they are not your typical dog. They are a beautiful and highly intelligent breed with a very strong prey drive. My Kembe is my first basenji but I was familiar with the breed because my brothers were basenji owners. I got her when she was 1years old - she was returned to the breeder by the previous owners. Kembe has never been destructive, she has free reign of our house, and I can leave her at home alone. It’s extremely important to exercise them regularly - especially exercise and stimulate their minds, and establish a routine (I can set my watch to my dog). They are definitely trainable - it scares me to see how smart she is and also well behaved. Basenjis are extremely lovable and hilariously funny. If I have a treat that my dog especially likes - she will do her whole “repertoire of tricks” without me even asking her. She dances to let me know it’s time to eat and will sit right next to me and hit me with her paw when she wants to go for her walk.
I think our basenji chose us - when we went to the breeders home to look at her - She jumped up next to my husband on the couch and curled up! I was sold on her! I really hope you find a basenji that right for you!

Found: Basenji prints
-
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…
-
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.
