Hi there everyone,
Very happy to have discovered this forum.
We are in Melbourne, Australia. Last year we adopted our amazing Finn. We always knew he had a bit of Jack Russell in his makeup, however, we have been asked by a few people now when we have been out and about with him, whether he has a bit of Basenji in the mix.
On paper, he appears to have a few of the features such as a tightly coiled tail (when on alert/excited) with a white tip. Delights in hunting anything from flies to birds and blue tongue lizards; will try to chase anything that moves (planes, pushbikes, scooters - anything really. Very "cat like" - settling in for a good wash, dislikes being cold and getting wet, leaping to perch on a high spot and for some moments - aloof. Movement which would make a dressage horse envious! A very big personality.
A couple of photos are attached - we would value your thoughts.
Thanks for reading :)  

Hello
How about noises?
Barking?

He looks like he keeps you on your toes. A DNA test might help.

Hi.
Finn does most definitely bark. In situations where we are out on the lead, he does a lot of "feet scraping" and makes what I would describe as an odd gargle/growling sound as he does it. If he really wants your attention, he will almost attempt to talk, but, having said that, lots of dogs will do that

He is hilarious - wouldn't have him any other way! I am actually considering looking into DNA testing - next time we are at the Vet, I hope to get a lab referral for a test.

Cutie Patutie!

@kembe Thanks! We think so

@finn2017 The DNA tests actually can be ordered online and done easily.

@debradownsouth Thanks Debra - will look into that. It will be fascinating to see what comes out of it.
