  • @Nino87 Well ~ she sure is a cute little girl! All I'm seeing at the moment that reminds me of Basenji are that all 4 feet are white! Looks like she's getting some wrinkles in her for-head but a lot of dogs have wrinkled for-heads! In my opinion, she "might" have a few drops of Basenji in her!! There will be others in this forum that will be able to tell you more about that sweet puppy! Lot's of love, petting, grooming, kisses, talking to her or singing, good food ... that's all they want & it's the best thing they can get ~ especially love!!

  • Her mannerisms may tell you more than her looks. Certainly her colouring fits. More details would be useful, e.g. does she bark or make other vocalizations? Does she clean herself in a catlike way? Basenjis have some unique traits you don't usually see in other breeds.

  • Very cute.. basenji-esque. But yeah, vocalizations?

  • Hi folks...sorry it took me this long to reply.
    She barks the boof boof style and barks are very rare..and has a long tail(with white spot on top), not lifted like a pure Basenji .
    Super fast..keeps up with a whipet in a dog park, seems like she cant get tired at a dog park.
    likes people and other dogs very much, licks her paws and streches like a cat...scoping every move i make, looks every single person in the face when we walk
    :)
    this is her now!!0_1512601958176_24946495_10214928237100638_1607484654_o.jpg 0_1512601966991_24946169_10214928060616226_1620534133_o.jpg 0_1512601973327_24067947_10214865951063526_1877520365654077501_n.jpg

  • I do think she looks like she has Basenji blood. A DNA test might prove interesting.....sure is a nice looking girl!

  • Whatever she is mixed with, she'a adorable!

  • Sounds like part B to me - anyways, a cute girl and a lot of fun. Enjoy!

    I don’t think you are, dang it and I want ALL the dogs to be Basenji! Still… great looking pup. Get a DNA test. If that pup has ANY Basenji in it, I’ll send you a beer. 👊😁👍
  • Basenji mix? And with what?

    I can see why someone would think there was Terrier, but I'm not so sure about Basenji. (The only way to know for sure is to do a DNA test.) Both of your dogs look very similar. What breed, or mix, is the older one?

    @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.
  • Basenji mix…what is the other half??

    Who cares what she is - she's gorgeous and you should get her. Have her DNA tested later if you really need to know…..I did that for my basenji/collie/sheltie mix, who is the nicest dog you ever want to meet, unless you are a kid, because she is afraid of them.

    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….
