Puppy- Basenji Mix

  • This is Maya and she is a Basenji mix and the mix is what I would like to know. Figured I would post a picture and see what you guys think? She is 2.5 months old and weighs 8.5 pounds.

  • Cute puppy! She looks more like a Vizsla than anything else to me. Is she showing any typical basenji behaviors? Good luck with her! Welcome to the forum:)

  • She's gorgeous. Not sure i see any Basenji in her. I agree with Kirsten that there could be some Vizla in there. Either way she looks a lovely puppy.

  • That is most certainly a vizsla mixed with something..almost looks purebred to me. very very sweet

  • She is one cute looking little caramel treat!

  • She is adorable..how wonderful her face is..I see Vizla too..especially with that liver nose..

  • Supposedly the mother was a Basenji but the shelter categorized her Basenji mix because of the wrinkled forehead and the fact that she doesn't bark but "yoddle". But now that I look her up she does look like a Vizsla…

  • Do you have more pics of her? Her tail looks like it curls upward but I can't tell exactly what her ears are doing. She is way too small to be a Vizsla but I can see why some see the breed in her. The coloring is similar to a Vizsla.

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    Wow! That is certainly a fascinating mix! ;-) Two sighthounds and a Spitz in there, so will probably see much the same sorts of behaviour as Bs….I bet she's quite a runner too! Good look with your girl!

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

    She was only 16 pounds when I took her to the vet last but I know she is more now. She was also malnourished when we got her, she is gaining weight but she is still skinny. I made a photo album with some better pictures. I'll add more as I'm still searching through pictures on my camera to find some side views. But right now I'm off cause she is complaining that I'm ignoring her and not throwing the ball! :)
