Basenji mix?

    What's your thoughts. We got our new puppy last year from a rescue, best guess maybe a whippet/Terrior mix.. she is very fast! Then I came upon the pictures of Basenjis. She has their look but is about twice their size..doesn't have a typical dog bark but doesn't have the curly basenji tail.. clearly a mix and I know a DNA test is possible just wanted your knowledgeable thoughts on if you think she might be part basenji? Thank you. !!!0_1506730991566_IMG_7603.JPG

    Very cute. I don't really see basenji but maybe a standing side view might help. How big is she?

    I am no expert but I looked at the photo before reading your post and I thought it was one. The classic white shoulders, upright ears, pointed nose and shape of face....I agree a profile view would add but it would not be hard to convince me this dog has some basenji genes.

    @Kembe 1 hardly any podengo dna on file and honestly the guess your breed tests are just that. Phot in field looks more podengo Close up basenji. Enjoy your dog. Fyi I raised basenjis since 1982 and Podengo grande since 2007

    Hello, you are a great person to try her with all her problems. Do not use leash, maybe you can find a good halter? That way she will trust you more because it is different feeling.

    , even the strange voices seem to appear in many pariah type dogs. I can so see that, Moses, our almost 9 month old portuguese podengo grande sounds just like a howlling, yodeling basenji at times, then he breaks into this excruciatingly loud bark..

    @Larka: The weird thing about the Dobie that made us think maybe Basenji is that the white spots on her are all the same markings that my Basenji mix has. Is there a dog that has the same markings as a Basenji? Lots of dogs. That white pattern is called Irish Spotting. Off the top of my head…collies, border collies, australian shepherds, boxers, great danes...I am sure there are bunches more...
