Many questions
-
She very well could be…it will be interesting to see her when she gets her full size.
How old is she now? -
She is 9 months I have been trying to figure out what she is. With such a rare breed I wouldn't think I would come across one ,even a mix. And that crazy howling, I thought she was just nuts!! The only characteristic that does not match exactly, is that she seems to have more of a bark than I have read about. But all the yoodling and howling, sounds just like her.
-
In that picture she was about 3-4 months. It was the best one that showed her tail and stance.
-
However she does have a protective bark. But that is the only behavior difference from everything I have read.
-
Well these are both about 2 months ago, I will work on a new picture today.
-
Look's like a lot of Basenji to me, maybe a little on the small side but very adorable. Maybe you could post some more pic.
-
I was reading that they are about 20 lbs full grown. I don't think she will get that big. Maybe 15 at the most.

She looks like a Basenji, Chi cross to me. I dunno, though…the body look totally Basenjis, except for maybe a little stubby...but something about the ears, and the eyes looks more Chihuahua, or terrier to me.
Whatever she is, she is awfully cute!
Thats what I was thinking after lookin at the other pics also
-
So cute! Looking forward to more pictures!

I have been thinking that she is Chihuahua and jack russell, but the tail is what does not match up.

Keoki is a 9 mos old, purebred Basenji and he has started barking. We are currently visiting at my mother's house, and the dogs are spending most of their time in the garage {w/a nice woodstove!}. Keoki has begun barking – several short repeated barks in rapid successsion; does not resemble any sound other than a bark -- at anyone who approaches the garage door, AND at the cows that he can see on the hillside outside the garage. This is a new thing for him, and I can only attribute it to the new environment and his uncertainty about it.
{He's been barking tonight at the window and garage door, which is unnerving because it is pitch black outside, and we know that bears and cougars frequent Mom's yard at night [poop is everywhere out there] and I have to take the dogs out in that darkness to potty a few times every night. :eek: Scares the heeby-geebies out of me!!}
Although Basenjis do not typically bark, they are certainly capable.
