New owners, Basenji/American Bulldog mix?

Member Introductions
  • Found the site while googling different Basenji mixes and seeing this post: http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?10065-Hello-This-is-Bailey-my-Basenji-Bull-mix
    Looks like that person wasn't a frequent poster, but his dog looks exactly like Ivy, the dog we just adopted here in Indiana about 2 months ago. The breed description on wikipedia sounded a lot like her, somewhat aloof, likes to climb, sort of a trot walk, etc. No one seemed to shoot him down for thinking it might be part Basenji, and he knew the mom, so maybe we know what she is likely to be now! She has the wrinkly forehead and huge ears, similar size as the dog in the post above as well.

    she was found in a parking lot, had tape worms, had just had puppies, had a respiratory infection, had a UTI and then skin infection at her spay site, an allergic reaction, and played with a pin cushion, luckily didnt eat any. All that in less than two months!
    She's a stinker, but getting better and is lots of fun

    Thank you~ I'm going to do a little research about how to equip her for the snow. We're planning a trip to Indiana in February and I don't want her to freeze. I'm wondering if dog shoes would be a good thing to get and have her get used to for walking in snow. I know she'll need a new coat since she's outgrown her old one. She gets shivery easily.

    Cute, but head is not a Basenji type… that said... when you have mixes, they can take on the "DNA" from either/or.... sire/dam... there was a litter years ago of a Beagle mix and a purebred Basenji... I think it was a litter of 6 or more.... 2 looked totally like a Basenji, two like a Beagle... one in fact looked totally like a German Shepard.... so with mixes, you never know unless someone really knows who the Mom/Dad are

    Looks like you will have your hands full! The video made me chuckle, especially how quickly it happened and how the pup looked excited to make it to the sofa!

    @rbrady: I've been trying to find out more about heelers, since one person replied that they, too, can be quite troublesome. I'm also trying to find a vet here in Nashville who would be better with her than her current one. Thanks for the welcome. Love your dog! Rita Maybe you can contact an ACD breeder? There is also a lot of information on the internet! I think it is really important that you can just visite your vet for some socialisation. When Mirtillo and I go to the vet, he gets some kibble.. and then we go back home. He LOVES her.. (I think he likes her more then me ;) ) About the 'evilness': is Daisy really growling and biting? When we first went to our puppytraining, we also got the comment that Mirtillo wasn't really social to other dogs. He got them between his jaws.. and just wouldn't let go :eek: It is getting better now.. but with the 'stuffed animal look-a-likes' I really have to watch him and sometimes I have to free the other puppies.. Mirtillo also loves to 'bite' people who approach him and think he likes it that they touch his head. He doesn't growl though, but I do believe that when he finds out growling works…. I tell Mirtillo to sit and I tell the 'strangers' to only pet him between his front legs. He knows he gets a treat and everything is ok. I don't know if it will work for Daisy, but I do know it is important she doesn't have success with her behaviour. I hope you can find all the information about the basenji-side of Daisy on this forum!! And thank you for complimenting Mirtillo :D
