Check with a specialist about the tumour. Is it definitely contained in the toe? If it's spread I wouldn't have it cut into as I feel that this can set off increased growth. As to having a toe removed, one of my bitches had a toe on her front foot removed because it was badly damaged. The vet said that she would always limp but she was back in the show ring after the operation and not one judge she went under noticed the missing toe! She moved as perfectly as ever.
Is this a Basenji?

My friend adopted a pup from a family that thought it was a shiba inu, but it's not fluffy at all.
We had never heard of the Basenji until someone mentioned it, so I know nothing about them.She's about five months, probably 18" tall and a little under twenty pounds.
She's extremely energetic, but can show surprising control especially on command.
She also has a straight tail and barks, a relatively regularly bark.
She also makes a weird high pitch sound when super engaged with certain toys.She looks like the GIS pictures of a Basenji to me, except for that tail. I was hoping maybe a more experience eye could rule it out or confirm it.

Possible... but very cute... there are many mixes that have "hound" traits

The ears and the sitting posture looks like a Basenji....but the eyes don't seem to have that intense stare that says "I'm the boss, you just don't know it yet..." So cute give her a hug for me.

She is a adorable - does look part Basenji to me.

@weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.
