Basenji? Mixed with?

[ficamaj]

My rescue puppy is so Basenji, don't you you think?
We are in Australia, so most people assume she is part dingo. They are similar breeds, but her for is silky and she does a little growl everything now and then.
Any clues on what she might be mixed with?

Thanks, Fi

How tall at shoulder and what does she weigh. Honestly she looks very basenji to me!

[ficamaj]

She is approx. 43cm at shoulder and 15 kg.

That's a bit heavy for most Basenjis, but not for a mix. Of course the only way to be sure is to do a DNA test.

Certainly has the look of a Basenji. Agree with Debra, seems a bit heavy but doesn't really look it.

I don’t know if you’ll see this but I was searching the web to see what breed my dog is and they look like twins. Did you ever find out?

I’m trying to post a pic but it won’t let me

Your picture may be too large a file. Try downsizing it and see if that works.

Hi there, just wondering if you ever found out what you basenji is crossed with because she's the spitting image of ours (Indy is a rescue from Melbourne). I can't work out how to add a picture!

@ficamaj
Your baby is very cute - looks part Basenji to me! Congratulations on your new pup!🐾

Also I feel like I can also make our black doors on your dog's skin under the fir, is spotty skin a basenji thing as Indy has it (not a skin condition just the colouring if her skin). Really wish I could upload a pic!

Click on the icon second from the right at the top of the compose screen, choose the file from your computer (not too large) and it should upload.

Our dogs could be twins! I've been searching for what she might be, and I came to the conclusion that she, like yours, looks most like a Basenji/Dingo mix (though here in the states they're called Carolina Dogs, not Dingos).

[bejoylee]

@akretschmer14 she looks like mine, too!

Our girl has a little bit of black fur on her back.

[elbrant]

@bejoylee I don't see Carolina Dog in your girl, but she sure does favor a German Shepard!
