@mamicam said in Do you think he is part basenji or Jack russell?:
He's darling. Brat had a half chihuahua/half baseji on the mixed page years ago. So who knows. Whatever, that' is one cute fellow!
A basenji/jack russel would not be affected by Fanconi as it is necessary for both parents to have the gene. Unless the parents are also mixes with fanconi genes. However I agree the DNA can give a lot of value for health as well as cues about what breeds are in the mix.
Another possibility might be Rat Terrier. They do come in brindle, although that colour is out of favour. There is one in my neighbourhood that has a bit of a Basenji look to him, and his tail is very short.......not sure if it's natural or docked.
FYI, the marrow bones are OK for them to gnaw on, but after a while they will become more brittle and might break apart like one of those pics showed…but it will take a while, like a month or more. I give my dogs nothing but knucklebones or marrowbones-RAW- and they love it and as an added bonus one of my non-B's has gotten almost of his tartar build up off, and we have only been doing the RAW diet for a month...yeah. The vet wanted him to come in for some serious teeth cleaning with doggie valium and all that...not needed anymore.
Of course I love the pics...especially the one with the funny face, second from bottom..
