Someone suggested that my dog may be part Basenji

  • We got Caddis around Christmas 2013 that we were told was a Shepard-collie mix and was originally purchased from a Mennonite farm. She is a very happy dog, she "yips" a lot and does this high pitch scream often but she is able to bark. She is about knee-high. Her tail curls to the left (if you are looking at her from behind). Oh and she is a habs fan. I thought you might have some suggestions to look for. The person that told us about Basenji's thought she might be a mix with a collie.

  • Yes, she could be, but also X shiba or any primitive breed with a curly tail ! Anyway, she looks beautiful, and I hope you'll have as much fun with her that I do have with my basenji (12 years old, rescued when she was 4 months old). Enjoy that funny girl ! From France,, Tosca and Magali

    I am so sorry about your brother. Yes, seems he was meant to be with your family. If you get a chance, record his vocalizations. We really love pictures and videos!

    @thunderbird8588: Here is a pic of a normal dog paw and a Basenjis, even if your girl doesn't have pads like a Basenji it doesn't mean she hasn't got some Basenji in her. When we had a Basenji i noticed Benjis pads were joined but at the time thought all dogs were like this. It was only later that i found out only Basenjis, possibly Huskies and wolves have these pads ChowChow's have feet like that and it's really noticable in feet that big. I'll try to get a pic next time i'm around a chowchow foot.

    [image: p4120033dw6.th.jpg] an even cuter picture! Although her mouth is all cheesed, I think we were playing in that pic.
