Basenji?

Show Off Your Dog
  • Happy Holidays to all! My family adopted Reesie 4yrs ago from a local shelter. She was listed as a "Terrier mix"- mostly to tone down her obvious PIT-BULL heritage. I'm almost certain that she's PITBULL and most likely Cardigan Welsh Corgi… I joined the forum because I'm on the fence about BASENJI!! I managed a pet store during high school and feel head over heel for the breed. I've actually had arguements with some individuals that a "yodeling" dog is a myth... Reesie WILL bark, but usually prefers to almost "pucker" her lips up and make a "GROWRL" noise.
    Even with her Corgi breastbone and little, stumpy legs, she can GLIDE right up onto of whatever table/counter she pleases! ( without crouching down and giving it a couple goes! She looks likes she's part REINDEER!!! LOL! ) What do you think?????
    I've attached various photos... I appreciate any/all feed back!

  • Your pup is sure cute! I don't see Basenji in her, except maybe for the occasional picture that has wrinkles in the brow - you can always have her DNA tested to satisfy your curiosity - pet stores generally sell the kits for sending off samples and the reports are very interesting.

  • No idea, sometimes with mixes it's so hard to tell what the parentage is. I do think that your dog's head is a bit more refined than many of the pit mixes i've seen.

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.
