Basenji Shiba mix: Does anyone think that my dog might be that?
A Shiba Inu looks a lot like Basenji with a fluffy coat and wider head. The behavior is also similar. Because of the floppy ears, which you wouldn't normally see on either a Shibu or a Basenji, I'd say not a Basenji mix. That's just a guess. If it matters a DNA test doesn't cost a lot and is going to be more accurate than anyone's guess.
To be entirely honest, I can't see either Basenji or Shiba in this little dog. Does it matter though ? Just love her to distraction !
What a beautiful dog Layla is!!! And she is kinda smiling....she must love you very much!
