Basenji + ? other dog breeds ?

How tall is she and what does she weigh? A side view standing would be useful. Is she fairly square like a Basenji? When she barks, is it one or two separated barks, or a series? Some Basenjis do bark, but usually just once or twice when startled, not a string of barks. (Of course, whatever the mix is could affect this). As stated, you need DNA to be sure. Maybe Lab, but it doesn't jump out at me. I used to know a German Shepherd cross that looked a bit like her, including the colour.

@layla She is a very sweet Dog. If you really want to go to the expense to find out what she is then you should satisfy your curiosity. I would just love to have a sweet Dog like yours but then again I have a weakness for Hounds of all types!
Good luck and be happy you have her!

Thanks so much for your input. When I get her DNA results,Iwill be sure to post them here. I have seen other Basenji mixes, and she seems to resemble most the Basenji-Yellow Labs the most. But we will see!

Do a DNA test. They aren’t too expensive.
That will tell you the breeds she isThanks so much for your input. When I get her DNA results,Iwill be sure to post them here. I have seen other Basenji mixes, and she seems to resemble most the Basenji-Yellow Labs the most. But we will see!

@layla I am constantly wondering how these mixes happen. A Lab is a big dog and Basenjis are tiny by comparison. It is rather mind-boggling! Nevertheless you have a very sweet Dog! Also a VERY lucky Dog. :)
My 90 pound Rottweiler bitch backed her behind up to my bed to let our neutered rescue poodle hump her. My then 9 yr old daughter had a serious talk with both of them, lol. I saw a saint bernard bitch lie down for a chihuahua (owners not paying attention.. I yelled for them to look, lol).
Where there's a will there's a way fits with dogs in heat.

Yes, like you said where there's there's a will there's a way. That's hilarious about the St. Bernard and the chihuahua"

I am not sure where you got your information, but no, breeding a dog or cat or horse or cow or pig or any mammal to another breed does one thing only-- produces mixed offspring that time. When you breed to another purebred, those offspring are not "ruined bloodlines". They are just as pure as before.
IOW, if your XYZ show queen mates with Mr Doodles, the neighborhood stray, the kittens produced are mixed. Obviously not XYZ purebreds.
Next time, you breed your XYZ queen to a purebred XYZ tom, the kittens produced are PUREBRED XYZ. Their bloodline isn't ruined. They have no dna from the previous litter. -

Cats and dogs and other mammals that have more than one offspring at a time can have a different sire for each offspring. (Technical term: superfecundation.) That still doesn't affect the NEXT litter. It is simply biologically impossible. I don't have to be "an expert on cats"... I have a fairly solid understanding of biology and genetics. The "bloodlines change" is, simply, impossible. Whatever old wives tales people might believe, it is, in fact, not biologically possible.
This forum or any forum, anyone with a basic biology and genetics understanding will tell you the same thing if you post that.
You aren't the only person who has wondered/thought the same thing. So... here is a professional answering it, with also an explanation.
What about future litters? There is never any lasting affect from the genetic input from a previous father. So you can breed her to any male you want after this. <<

How are things in Israel? I pray you are safe.
Thank you. I am in Haifa which is probably the safest area, also the place where coexisting is at least the ideal. It's rather encouraging to have Jewish, Muslim and Christian shops' owners and employees come out calling the Samoyed's name (Moose).
Oddly enough, here we are, closer to Africa and I have yet to see another Basenji. But we've met several Samoyeds!

When I was still breeding Siberian Huskies, I sold a pup to a family from Jerusalem who eventually moved back and took the Sibe back with them. They didn't consider it odd that they would have that type of a breed there, their neighbours back home always had a Keeshound.
