    @silvercoo Depends on the mix... but then I do not agree or support mix breeds... but that is just my opinion... Thank for all that take shelter dogs and give them great homes...

    @Gigi said in Newbie, I think I have a Basenji Mix?: @eeeefarm She only barks if she actually sees or hears something - and it will be more than one bark, but she is by no means yappy - could be the collie in her :) Then again, when I tell Bailey to get the" red" or "green" ball, is she seeing the same "red" or "green" that I'm seeing, or is it just by word association, who knows? She always gets it right. I agree talking to our dog keeps them engaged with us. Here's a bit of news for you.. we don't see the same red and green as other humans. Not just those with various types of color blindness, but in general. Take one of those color vision tests with someone and you'll see when you rank things, or decide if blue or green, or if you can see the numbers in the pics. Neitz confirmed that dogs actually do see color, but many fewer colors than normal humans do. Instead of seeing the rainbow as violet, blue, blue-green, green, yellow, orange and red, dogs would see it as dark blue, light blue, gray, light yellow, darker yellow (sort of brown), and very dark gray.Oct 20, 2008 Psychology Today"

    @rbrady: I've been trying to find out more about heelers, since one person replied that they, too, can be quite troublesome. I'm also trying to find a vet here in Nashville who would be better with her than her current one. Thanks for the welcome. Love your dog! Rita Maybe you can contact an ACD breeder? There is also a lot of information on the internet! I think it is really important that you can just visite your vet for some socialisation. When Mirtillo and I go to the vet, he gets some kibble.. and then we go back home. He LOVES her.. (I think he likes her more then me ;) ) About the 'evilness': is Daisy really growling and biting? When we first went to our puppytraining, we also got the comment that Mirtillo wasn't really social to other dogs. He got them between his jaws.. and just wouldn't let go :eek: It is getting better now.. but with the 'stuffed animal look-a-likes' I really have to watch him and sometimes I have to free the other puppies.. Mirtillo also loves to 'bite' people who approach him and think he likes it that they touch his head. He doesn't growl though, but I do believe that when he finds out growling works…. I tell Mirtillo to sit and I tell the 'strangers' to only pet him between his front legs. He knows he gets a treat and everything is ok. I don't know if it will work for Daisy, but I do know it is important she doesn't have success with her behaviour. I hope you can find all the information about the basenji-side of Daisy on this forum!! And thank you for complimenting Mirtillo :D

    I think she's beautiful. My first boy didn't have wrinkles either and he had a kiss spot. And he was beautiful, too. I agree - no ugly basenjis!
