Basenji Mix?

  • P

    We got Pedro from a shelter so we have no idea what his parents where but my vet thinks he's a shiba ini or basenji . He's about 4 months old and weighs about 18 lbs.From reading the personality description and from some of his features , i'm convinced he has some basenji in him, opinions ? What could he be mixed with , or if not basenji other guesses in what breeds?

    @DebraDownSouth said in Is Bailey a Basenji mix?: That said, I'd love to have a basenji with a bit longer softer coat, zero animal aggression and not such bed hogs. Any suggestions on an admix there? How about a Papillon? That might make for an interesting addition. :)

    @Buddys: Actually, my first B was found running around and was not altered. Always a possibility since the canine need of procreation is pretty darn high up there with food, water, and air…... Oh I'm sure it does happen and will continue to happen but I just don't see it happening as much as rescues claim it happens. I know for a fact some shelters (the one I worked at did!) will label dogs as rarer breeds to get them adopted faster. We had two scruffy "doodle" mix mutts and the animal warden INSISTED they were Wired haired pointing griffons. LOL.

    The traits you described are also found in most of the Nordic/spitz type dogs. I don't see anything overly basenji-ish about him in the pics. What ever he is, he's very hansome.

    He is Gorgeous! The third picture looks a little Basenji to me, but I'm not an expert

    Oh yeah, he looks way more like a b-mix to me than a lot of the pups listed as basenjis on Petfinder. And they mention he's not a barker. What a cutie! Someone go get this guy! :D

    Look at the BRAT mixes: http://basenjirescue.org/DOGS-MIXES/Default.htm Check out Tia. I think that's what you are looking for. :) Then look at Tyson and Shiloh. Not the right coloring, but similar build and coat….
