    xena is the love of my life, I have three dogs, partial to chihuahuas. Got xena 4 months old at the pound. They told me she was a chihuahua… But a chihuahua mixed with what? I started to ask myself as she started to look more like a bat with a curled tail. My boyfriend and I joke that she's a chupacabra, since chihuahuas originate in Mexico it was good for a chuckle. But know I'm just really curious to know where she comes from. Not sure how to post picture here.

    @rgk9ruler thank you! I can definitely see some similarities between this breed and my Cotilla 😊 and I could see him hunting squirrels, he loves running after insects and birds.

    I am pretty sure you can't just look at a mix and declare what it is. Scientific studies have debunked that over and over. Best to do a DNA test, in my opinion. I have a mix who was advertised as a Basenji Mix, and her DNA results confirmed it. If you just looked at her and made a judgement, it would be mixed: her color was all askew, her tail was half-curled, she was smaller and featured more slender face and feet than a pure-bred B. But, apparently, the 1/4 Min Pin (the ONLY other DNA in her sample) contributed some significant traits. Behavior and personality wise, Basenji rules the day. Again, I recommend a DNA test, and they improve by the day. What is this other B identity thing that is mentioned in this thread? Is it also a DNA test, or something else? Oh, and hey, your baby is way cute!

    What a cutie, sad such beautiful dogs get put down. To me the ears look Basenji and some of the things he does as well, Kaiser does a wait and stare. Do let us know if you get him tested what the results are. Find Kaiser needs mental exercise more than physical, he is a very good puzzle solver, maybe you can play some mental games and see if that helps to tire him. Jolanda and Kaiser

    I could see a B in her face. I agree with the shepard cross. :)
