Do you think my new girl is a Basenji mix??

    Hi B-Forum members, I'm new here and have been reading posts for a few days. I adopted a rescue dog from a group two months ago and I think she is part Basenji. The rescue group said she was part Shepard, but based on her behavior over the past 2 month and the comment on a possible Basenji-mix breed from the trainer, I think she may be a mix. She is about 2 years and still very high energy. I have to crate her if I can't watch her or she'll chew things up in the house. She also loves to bite the necks of my older 2 lab mix dogs and hold on. They play with her and she goes wild. The biggest challenge is dog aggression. She is nuts when we pas other dogs on walks and once slipped out of her collar and went after a pit bull. I was able to break it up before anyone got hurt. So I'd greatly appreciate your opinions, do you think she looks/sounds like a B-mix?

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    Thank you~ I'm going to do a little research about how to equip her for the snow. We're planning a trip to Indiana in February and I don't want her to freeze. I'm wondering if dog shoes would be a good thing to get and have her get used to for walking in snow. I know she'll need a new coat since she's outgrown her old one. She gets shivery easily.

    Scarlet is a cutie whatever she is! If you have a real interest in learning what she is, I would recomment wisdompanel.com - there you will find a site that will send you swabs for her cheeks, then will later on send you a report showing everything that is in her, and how much of each - it goes back five generations and the reports are wonderful. I know I sound like a commercial, but we sent off to find out what our Gemma was mixed with, and found she is basenji all the way on one side, and sheltie on the other, with a little collie thrown in three generations back. Because the reports send along information about what the breeds personalities are, it's really easy now to see when Gemma is being sheltie-ish and when she's being basenji, which is mainly when she's interacting with her PB sister. Good luck with Scarlet, and welcome! I think you can also pick up the DNA kits from wisdompanel at PetSmart, or so someone told me.
