Is this a Basenji (mix)?

Basenji Talk
  • Hello forum,

    I am new and came across your forum through a google search. I recently adopted India from a shelter in New Mexico. After reading up on breeds, I feel as if she may be part Basenji. Sorry, not exactly sure where to post this, but figured someone one here would know ;)

  • I would have to say yes, I believe your loving India is in fact, part Basenji. After the research that you have done, does she have the typical Basenji charicteristics.

    He is a cutie. Looks like he is getting lots of love and he will return it. Glad you have him.

    I am no expert but I looked at the photo before reading your post and I thought it was one. The classic white shoulders, upright ears, pointed nose and shape of face....I agree a profile view would add but it would not be hard to convince me this dog has some basenji genes.

    They may not be very familiar with breeds. I agree with Robyn he looks all Rat Terrier to me. Keep in mind that the Rat Terrier breed does have some basenji blood in it and some have a strong resemblance to basenjis.

    I recently got a Basenji mix. I am not sure exactly what she is mixed with though. She is about 40lbs, but looks almost 100% Basenji. She is very powerful and a little broad chested. I am lucky with her though. She exhibits all the great characteristics of a Basenji, but almost none of the bad ones. :)
