@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion
Is my dog a Basenji? Can you help me figure it out?

Hello.
After a year or so of thinking my rescue-shelter dog was part jindo-shepherd, maybe lab maybe pit maybe something else, and after a year or so of searching for these mixes on the internet I think I have figured out that she is a basenji mix! She has all the characteristics of a basenji….she might be half jindo as well....but I am still trying to figure it out....what do you guys think????
thank you!

She is very cute, not sure I would say Basenji.. but you are welcome all the same

For about $60-$70 you can find out what she is, with a DNA test. I have seen it in an Orvis Dog Catalogue, and also in Jefferspet.com.
She is very cute, how big is she?

My guess would be probably not a basenji mix.
I agree with your guess.
Lab pitbull mix.
Definitely lab coat and lab body, and definitely pit head.
If you really want to know, you can pay to get a DNA test done to
determine what kind of mix she is.As long as she is a sweet loving dog, who cares what kind of
mixes is she, right???Again, welcome aboard!

She is super cute! Gorgeous white coat. I have basenji mixes. Daisy is Basenji-beagle, and Duke is Basenji-jack (I think) I don't care to do the dna test, because - I love my furkids just the way they came. Welcome to the forums - lots of fun and information on about everything.

i'm not a B expert, but can see it could be a B mixed with pit. The ears, black nose and oval paws are characteristics of a B. I think the behavior/attitude would be more indicative of the breed. Do you see any wrinkles in the forehead?
-
She sure is cute. I don't see any basenji though. Maybe part Jindo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_Jindo_Dog

I don't see any Basenji in her but she is a gorgeous dog! Jindo is a very rare breed but with the largest of its populace being located in California, there is a possibility it could be a Jindo mix. Her body screams Labrador to me though.
-
What a cutie. I don't see any phisical characteristics of a B in her, but her face, ears, and body look identical to a sheperd/lab mix I owned many years ago.(one of the most loyal dogs I have ever had the pleasure of working with)

Don't most dogs have a black nose?
All of mine have – yellow lab, doberman, corgi, golden........
-
I don't see any Basenji there. Was it behavior characteristics you were referrign to?
She's cute though – you'd lose her in a heavy fog, LOL.
-
I would bet that your dog is mostly Korean Jindo. Looks almost identical with the exception that most Jindo's have slightly longer hair. Jindu and a mix of a dog with shorter hair.

The ibizan hound and i think the pharaohs also have red noses.

Rudolph has a read nose!
