So many times people post pictures and ask what folks on the forum think about their dogs. Often, the most convincing in appearance turn out disappointingly to not have any Basenji blood. When you think about it, there are not likely all that many crossbreds out there. Most people with an intact Basenji bitch are not looking to cover her with anything but a purebred male, and in North America generally females are spayed because most breeders require it for pet puppies. Bitches that are showing are even less likely to be bred to something outside the breed.
Basenji/Chi Mix?
-
So I rescued this little (4 lb) Chi mix, and the more I read about Basenji's the more I think she's mixed with one. She's super sweet, smart, very energetic, very athletic, has a great nose, finds lots of things on our daily walks, hops when she runs, has a wrinkled brow and almond shaped eyes and she rarely barks. Think Basenji's can be so small though?
