I have an alpha female basenji and brought a newborn into our family. I was in the hospital for four days (my in laws stayed with dog and horse), when we came home, we had my Mom bring her new boyfriend. He was a great distraction, but also allowed me some alone time with Cricket. When they left, she noticed the baby in the bassinet and was a bit concerned.
She adapted to the baby, but I don't leave them alone just in case. Cricket is not nearly as jealous as she was, now that he drops food for her at the table, but she did get a bit jealous for a few weeks.
While I was pregnant, I was told that 'the test' was to play baby crying videos on YouTube. How the dog reacts will tell you how they will interact with the baby. Cricket beat the crap out of my phone when I tried… So not a great test! 🙂
Found: Basenji prints
-
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…
-
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.
