Found: Basenji prints

Basenji Talk

  • I would be interested in those.


  • Information in next post.


  • @50's:

    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.

    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.

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    @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.
