New update: Tika is no longer in heat! Yay! Remy got neutered and is doing great! We got a dog trainer to come in assess the situation and she thinks it is starting to improve compared to how I described it when I booked her to come. Only Maia seems to need the muzzle, she seems to be very unsure of the puppy. We are working with her to build her confidence. The puppy doesn’t seem to have any stress with Maia around and won’t start anything. The muzzle is on just in case when I am home alone as I don’t want anything bad to happen when if I can’t separate them. The puppy is getting lots of training time to help her learn how to behave properly. With 2 people here we can have the girls on short leashes and they are fine together. They did have a small altercation of snarling but no biting and no one got hurt. The older female backed down and walked away. As much as I want her to be the top dog it seems that the puppy has a much more dominant personality. If they figure out the pack hierchy hopefully everything will settle down. The trainer says there are no pack instincts in domesticated dogs, but after having 6 basenjis I can’t agree with that in regards to basenjis. We can walk the girls together without muzzles now so I think things are more positive and they seem to be improving every day. When Remy is healed from his neuter I will get the puppy spayed and hope that calms things down even further. So far there is a lot more peace in the house. Please anyone let me know if there is anything else I should be doing to keep these girls on track. Thank you for all your advice and guidance! I am so grateful for this forum as what is normal for other dogs is not so much with these guys!
Basenji? Mixed with?

My rescue puppy is so Basenji, don't you you think?
We are in Australia, so most people assume she is part dingo. They are similar breeds, but her for is silky and she does a little growl everything now and then.
Any clues on what she might be mixed with?Thanks, Fi

How tall at shoulder and what does she weigh. Honestly she looks very basenji to me!
-
She is approx. 43cm at shoulder and 15 kg.
-
That's a bit heavy for most Basenjis, but not for a mix. Of course the only way to be sure is to do a DNA test.
-
Certainly has the look of a Basenji. Agree with Debra, seems a bit heavy but doesn't really look it.
-
I don’t know if you’ll see this but I was searching the web to see what breed my dog is and they look like twins. Did you ever find out?
I’m trying to post a pic but it won’t let me

Your picture may be too large a file. Try downsizing it and see if that works.

Hi there, just wondering if you ever found out what you basenji is crossed with because she's the spitting image of ours (Indy is a rescue from Melbourne). I can't work out how to add a picture!

@ficamaj
Your baby is very cute - looks part Basenji to me! Congratulations on your new pup!

Also I feel like I can also make our black doors on your dog's skin under the fir, is spotty skin a basenji thing as Indy has it (not a skin condition just the colouring if her skin). Really wish I could upload a pic!

Click on the icon second from the right at the top of the compose screen, choose the file from your computer (not too large) and it should upload.

Our dogs could be twins! I've been searching for what she might be, and I came to the conclusion that she, like yours, looks most like a Basenji/Dingo mix (though here in the states they're called Carolina Dogs, not Dingos).

@bejoylee I don't see Carolina Dog in your girl, but she sure does favor a German Shepard!

@bejoylee
WOW! What a beautiful dog! 🥰Also like your enclosed porch and view of your back yard!
