Yes, his backline is definitely Chihuahua, but he is much leggier. He doesn't carry himself like most Chihuahuas; he doesn't appear nervous or nippy; his colouring is Basenji. I really don't want to see him die in that shelter.
He did look like he had short legs but I thought his body was long for a Rat Terrier. I am so used to them having a docked tail and much more white on the body. I thought he may be a poorly bred Basenji. Mansfield is not too far away from the Amish area. I wonder if he barks much!

That's just wonderful, Vicki. Lucky Bailey and lucky you! Thank you for being devoted to rescue. Can't help you with the addiction - I surf for basenjis every few days even though there's no way we have room for more than our two.
I was surfing petfinder.com today! Bad. Bad. Bad. I promised I would stop.
