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.

    I might be inclined to believe foxhound if he didn't weigh less than 40 lbs. That And neither a lab or a foxhound have a tail that goes straight up and curls over the back. Whippet is a possibility, but again that doesn't explain the tail curling over the back. Granted his tail is longer and not as bushy as a pure Basenj, but then he isn't pure Basenji. Pugs have a wrinkled forehead and a curled tail, but he has the longer neck and a gait more like a sight hound, and his coat is shorter but not the double coat of a lab, so I am kind of ruling out pug. He may be a big pile of mixes from parents who were mixed. I don't really care what breed he is, he is a great dog. I think I am right on basenji, but if not, it's no big deal. And no he hasn't chewed my underwear. He did chew on the couch cushion where I usually sit.
