Hi everyone,
So I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on what my puppy could be?
His name is Charlie. I rescued him from my local shelter when he was 10 months old about 3 years ago. They told me he had been surrendered by his owners.
Charlie loves most people, though he doesn't take too kindly to elderly people on the street. He barely barks, and I've heard him howl only once at a passing ambulance at 1am. He's a bit of a Velcro dog though he prefers to be near me, not touching me. His prey drive is insane. He killed a pigeon once and brought it to me like a cat. So I know he's definitely got basenji tendencies. He hates the rain, it's a pain making him do his business in the wet weather. He also has an obsession with shredding toilet paper (its the only thing he likes), he doesn't care for dog toys. And his forehead get wrinkly when he's worried. His skin in general is extremely rolly and pliable.
Haha.. What do you guys think he's crossed with? My boyfriend and I see some sort of Spitz in him, but we're not too sure. He's got a curly tail though not to the level of the pure basenji.
