New update: Tika is no longer in heat! Yay! Remy got neutered and is doing great! We got a dog trainer to come in assess the situation and she thinks it is starting to improve compared to how I described it when I booked her to come. Only Maia seems to need the muzzle, she seems to be very unsure of the puppy. We are working with her to build her confidence. The puppy doesn’t seem to have any stress with Maia around and won’t start anything. The muzzle is on just in case when I am home alone as I don’t want anything bad to happen when if I can’t separate them. The puppy is getting lots of training time to help her learn how to behave properly. With 2 people here we can have the girls on short leashes and they are fine together. They did have a small altercation of snarling but no biting and no one got hurt. The older female backed down and walked away. As much as I want her to be the top dog it seems that the puppy has a much more dominant personality. If they figure out the pack hierchy hopefully everything will settle down. The trainer says there are no pack instincts in domesticated dogs, but after having 6 basenjis I can’t agree with that in regards to basenjis. We can walk the girls together without muzzles now so I think things are more positive and they seem to be improving every day. When Remy is healed from his neuter I will get the puppy spayed and hope that calms things down even further. So far there is a lot more peace in the house. Please anyone let me know if there is anything else I should be doing to keep these girls on track. Thank you for all your advice and guidance! I am so grateful for this forum as what is normal for other dogs is not so much with these guys!
Maybe a Basenji

I was recently told that my dog looked like a besenji. When I got her I was told she was a jack russell, but I don't think that is the case. After reading the description, it fits her almost perfect. Anyone have any input! I have attached a picture.

Looks pretty Basenji to me. How old is she and what does she weigh? Who told you she was a Jack Russell?
-
Where did you get her from?
-
I bought her for $50 when she was 7 weeks old from my neighbor(he moved since then). His dog was the dad. I only saw a picture of the dad, he looked jack russell. I never saw the mom. But as she has grown, I have become doubtfull of the info I was given, or what the guy really knew. I love her to death. She is about 12 lbs right now. but only going on 9 months old.

I think she's part Russell and part B.
-
I think as Andrea said on the other post that she is part Rat Terrier and part Chi, more then Jack Russell….

I found this on Petfinder. It is listed as a Chi/Basenji. Looks very similar.

Wow…that looks very close!

Well, whatever it is, it's cute as a button! The tail definitely looks Basenji, as do the ears.
-
She's definitely part B
And what a cutie! -
Personally I think the picture closes the case, she is Chi/Basenji. I sure know one thing, it sure is a cute mix. I know you are so glad to see exactly what she/he is.

I don't think that is a Basenji.. but again a Rat Terrier/Chi cross… IMO

This is Ren our terrier mix, she's 13. She thinks she's a Basenji. But I see the ears look the same and her tail has like a quarter curl to it.
We call her the short legged Basenji!:)
-
Pretty little old gal :p
She looks very dignified. -
Just a Q, What other little dogs have a close curled tail like a B?
