    Her unique physical appearance only makes her more endearing/lovable. Corgi like, almost.

    Love those ears!!!!

    Snorky I just tried to look for your Corgi and I didn't find his post:( could you help me to find it?

    Your sentense is so true , more she is unique more she is lovable!
    The difference is a big part of me too.:)

  • Thank you for taking such good care of this pup.

  • I think Snorky was talking about the breed of dog Corgi… here is a link (but with a smooth coat)

    Thank you very much I already saw a corgi on a tv show, it 's a very amazing dog.

    I hope my husband will soon take a picture of Daysie' s mother, maybe the father too, He told me the mother has short legs , it was the very first time he saw that kind here, I am in hurry to see if parents have some caracteristiques of Basenji I think so my puppy have some, isn't she?

    Thank you Bellabasenji, yes she is very friendly because we took her to early and I was sorry for her, so I gave her a lot of affection for few days and she became a pot of glu , it's better now ,but she always loves huggs and kisses, but when she plays she is like a battery, she plays a lot with her dog sister but also with my children , and when I sweep the floor, it's very hard for me :D
    She is so quickly the first day we saw her playing, we said she plays like a cat , the way she moves, jump to catch her toys, lay on the floor,run to escape and hide, she is very funny.

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Thank you for taking such good care of this pup.

    It is such a pleasure for me to give a good life for animals who might not have one.
    Thanks a lot to share my pleasure.

  • I just love those big ears - I can see why she is the "love of your life"

  • What a lovely sweet girl..

    She smiles really sweet at the pics… I love her ears too..

  • Daysie is Beautiful and all EARS!! What a cutie… I wonder what she is mixed with??

  • Awwww I love her!! Thank you for rescuing her.

  • She's a cute baby. I would love to see photos of her sire and dam if you can get some. :)

  • @jenwilson:

    Daysie is Beautiful and all EARS!! What a cutie… I wonder what she is mixed with??

    I think that both of them are mixed. I should fill a questionnary to see how many carasteritics she has?

  • @YodelDogs:

    promise I will do.

    I just have to make my husband ok to make some as soon as he will go there, he should go next week if he get time.

    Yesterday, I saw 2 wonderfull Basenjis , they were a bit far and I m not sure the tail was ok.

    There are a lot, in the streets some are very thin, a lot are mixed, they are all owned by somebody but they don't feed them, or just a bit of something people eat every day and red oil no meat.

    I show you pictures of puppys I took last year, I edit, it's not my puppy, I just saw them iin a village where I stayed for holidays, I just make some pictures.My english isn't good enough.

    is he a basenji?
    this is the main color we find here.
    I will try to picture those I saw yesterday.

  • Wow! What an adorable pup! Very, very cute puppy- keep the pictures coming!

  • @AndrewnShango:

    I edit my post it's not the puppy I took but only the picture sorry, mine is on the avatard.

  • Hearing about all the strays makes me sad. Especially because I picture my Shelby out on the streets and it would be heartbreaking.
    You're a good person to take your pup in and get him well.
    And, your English is not bad. I understand you.

  • Thank you Shelby,
    you know people live also in the streets, they have a room to sleep, but they stays as long as they can out, children also sometimes naked ans dogs too, you can read the link I put on "book" maybe you 'll understand that its not a kind of maltraitance, the main maltraitance I see it's not to feed them.
    Africa is an other world.

    His face doesn't look very Basenji to me.

  • I agree, doesn't look like a Basenji… just nice village dogs

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    @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 mixed with…?

    The traits you described are also found in most of the Nordic/spitz type dogs. I don't see anything overly basenji-ish about him in the pics. What ever he is, he's very hansome.

    She was only 16 pounds when I took her to the vet last but I know she is more now. She was also malnourished when we got her, she is gaining weight but she is still skinny. I made a photo album with some better pictures. I'll add more as I'm still searching through pictures on my camera to find some side views. But right now I'm off cause she is complaining that I'm ignoring her and not throwing the ball! :)

    @JulYEAH: Yeah, he does bark, but he also makes alot weird bizarro noises and is really vocal (not always barking). We have a rescue(r) dog who appeared on our side porch at 2:30 a.m. at about 3 months old. The vet has agreed she is probably a Basenji mix; however, she pointed out that DNA tests are notoriously expensive and inaccurate. Your dog certainly seems to carry the characteristics. Many people have approached us to ask if she is a Basenji. One of them is a man who works in Africa, where they are common. He first pointed out her curved tail. The body style, with the tiny waist, also seems to fit. And the SPEED is astounding. She is compelled to run, and has a nose that won't quit. She also makes weird noises: the classic "yodeling." Purebred Basenjis are said not to bark; however, I believe as a mix she got the best of both worlds. She follows every personality characteristic I have discovered about Basenjis: *Curved Tail *Narrow Waist *The ability to "yodel" *Social, But NOT Strictly a One-Owner dog - She loves everyone and will take a trip around the world before coming home if she escapes and has friends all over the neighborhood); *"Built-In Entrenching Tools" - She digs holes everywhere; *Excruciatingly Intelligent - She will sometimes contemplate whether a command is in her best interest before performing it. *Crazy-Brilliant "Hunting" Nose - She can sniff a squirrel, cat, or other intruder from three doors down and cannot rest until she has chased it away. The other part(s) of her heritage have remained a mystery. There is apparently a larger breed in the mix, as she is about 10 pounds heavier than a Basenji, with a wider facial structure. This morning I saw a picture of a Visla and had an "aha!" moment. We may both have the honor of owning Basenji-Visla mixes!
