what a neat looking dog! Her head and slim body looks like a basenji to me, and the fact that it looks like she has a blaize w/lighter color on the chest and feet. Ether way very nice looking dog, neat colors!

To me it looks like curls up over her back…one loose loop....kinda like my full African ;)
But also her parent described it as a curled tail in the intro.
It is definitely a possibility that a Decker Rat terrier would have a curled (ish) tail if they weren't docked. Of course, Deckers have quite a bit of Basenji blood in them, so in a way, she would be a basenji mix.
And thanks Robyn for the clarification about blue merle :)

I would guess that she is basenji and Australian cattle dog.That was my first guess. But the mother is listed as Terrier, right?
So, was that someone's guess at the shelter, or is that a known?
Because she looks like a Basenji w/cattle dog markings to me! -

Undocked Rat Terrier tails almost always curl up over the back in a loose loop or gay tail. :)
The tail really doesn't look curled to me though.
