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.

    She is beautiful! All dogs are lovely but basenjis do tend to grab those heart strings. I hope you can find some answers, it’s so hard to miss them so much!

    She is really cute though I don't see Basenji. Like Shirley said, only a DNA can tell you much for certain.

    You had me confused and then I realized you meant the write up on the other rescue (Okapi)… I like less white also. So I had to go look... wow, coloring reminds me of minpins. :) Cute dog though.

    We got Killian from a breeder in Ohio–-Jim Edgerton. That's where he had gotten our previous male basenji. We took Logan and Jasmine to his place and looked at several 1 year olds and a puppies and Jasmine eliminated the others and we agreed with her pick.
