Possible Basenji

Show Off Your Dog
  • Hello! Boy am I glad to find all of you!

    We rescued a puppy from a MS shelter…we were told she was Fiest/Golden mix (she's orange). As she's growing....I don't see it. And I've never seen a Fiest (apparently a southern hunting dog similar to a terrier). Anyway, her sister was adopted by someone in the next town over....odd and so cool we've stayed in touch. Well HER vet thinks she has Basenji. Now that I look up the breed and look at my dog...I see it, too. We are going to have the DNA done since I'm so curious but what else do you guys think in is in her.....She has so many Basenji characteristics, too.

    Ok the picture with 2 dogs is My Maggie on the left and her sister (Eillie on the right). The other picture is my Maggie.

    Thoughts?

    And thanks!!

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_(dog) - Don't really think Basenji, head shape is totally Golden, however. And if you go to the link and scroll down there is picture of a Feist that reminds me of you girl. I would doubt since the Feist breed seems to be more of a mix than a purebred that any DNA test would show it… She is very cute however

  • I don't see basenji in your rescue - she is a very cute doggie, and there very well may be feist in her. A DNA test would tell you everything and it's a good investment; it would help you know her personality traits and identify her behavior as well.

    We also have a possible Basenji/Terrier (Yorkie) mix. I've had some doubts, but seeing this picture of Rosie, I can't help but see my Rebel. Such a great looking dog, and if she's anything like our girl, you're in for a treat!

    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.
  • Basenji or not??

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.
