Mixes are so hard to tell, one mixing of the same mix of dogs(say basenji/fox terrier) can give you different looking dogs to another litter mix of the same type of dogs, sometimes characteristics of one dog comes out more than the other. At the dog park people have the same mix but they look quite different, then if one dog is a mix itself it gets even harder. I just think mixes are so interesting and think it would be interesting to find out through the DNA test they have. I suppose in some cases it leads to better understanding of your dog and it's needs. She is a nice looking dog and special whatever she is. I have yet to get a yodel just for me, even the cats have gotten one so you are lucky if she gives them freely.
Basenji mix…what is the other half??

Hello,
I am contemplating adopting this rescue Basenji Mix. I know they have a "complicated" temperament, so I am trying to get a feel for what she is mixed with to better understand/ predict what her temperament might be.
Basenji and ?????
I was thinking maybe golden retriever? The floppy ears and short bronze wiry coat are the biggest discrepancies to a pure breed that I can see… one or both parents could be a mix as well, so it makes this actually impossible to predict.
Just looking for a best guess.
Thanks!

I can tell you what it is… UNBELIEVABLY CUTE! Oh wow, no idea on the mix though. How big is she? How old?

Is this a Taiwan dog by any chance?

She is *lovely"! Could it possibly be dachshund?

Who cares what she is - she's gorgeous and you should get her. Have her DNA tested later if you really need to know…..I did that for my basenji/collie/sheltie mix, who is the nicest dog you ever want to meet, unless you are a kid, because she is afraid of them.
