What is my Basenji mixed with?

[bailey]

We rescued this puppy from the Town Lake Shelter in Austin Texas without knowing what type she was. After talking to someone at the dog park, they suggested she is a Basenji. Since then, several people have said the same thing, so we have to agree, but think she is mixed with something else. I thought I'd ask for some opinions….

I'm really not seeing basenji, she looks more like my whippets.

I agree, but she is very cute

[lisastewart]

Whippets are the sweetest dogs, if she is a basenji and whipper mix that should be a very nice puppy

Honestly, I see a little pit in her with the shape of her face and the position of her ears.

Whatever she is, she is a pretty puppy. Good luck and thank you for rescuing her.

I'm not sure that she is part Basenji but however she is a very sweet little girl.

Welcome to the forum both of you.

Almost looks like a pitbull mix to me. Not sure, you will have to see when she gets a few months older.

What Basenji qualities do you see? I'm not sure I do, based on these pics. But I agree, I think there's some Pit.

She is Def. a Pit Mix. I grew up with Pitbulls in my family and know the breed very well and her face looks like my first dog Cocoa. Cocoa was 2 when I was born. She's a very pretty girl!
