Just received the DNA results from Embarkvet.com - not a drop of Basenji in Lucy's gene pool. She is 46% Pit, 23% Min Pin, 7% Chow, 6% Siberian Husky, 6% Rottweiler, 6% Boston terrier & 6% supermutt. Even though she's not in the Basenji gene pool, this is a great forum as she seems to have a number of B traits & behaviors. I find all of the advice helpful. Thanks everyone for your input!
New Puppy, Lucy, Basenji?
-
We adopted this puppy last week and I'm not really sure what she is! We've been told shepherd, lab, akitu, basenji, etc.
I just wanted to know what you all thought.
Hey everybody I have been wanting a German Shepherd for a long time and I finally got to adopt what we think is a sheperd mix. Anybody want to verify that? How much shepherd do you think is in her?
It's very hard to get pictures of her - she's a fast puppy! She's three months old.
She loves to chew on my socks.Here's a video of Lucy:

I'm positive that she is cute! The ears look like they could be Basenji to me.
-
^ Thank you!
-
I think she is very cute, but I don't really seen any basenji in her.
-
she is a cutie, but I think Shepard x Akita could be a good idea…
Regards,

She is absolutely adorable. Love her wrinkled forehead! I'm going with German Shepherd. Does she bark?
-
Very cute…
-
IMO not much basenji if any. But cute nevertheless!
-
She's beautiful! That first pic, especially the ears, looks just like a German Shepherd puppy to me. I think she's a shepherd mix. I don't see any Basenji there though.
-
I would think Sheherd and Akita, Or Shepherd and Lab. What a sweet little face.
-
What a cute face! She looks like a little wulf!
-
Thanks everybody! Yes, she does bark, but not frequently.
-
What a cutie!! Very much a German Shep., IMO. Those huge, stand up on their own ears leave something to consider…........
Thank you for adopting a puppy in need of a forever home!!
-
She is a cutie pie….looks mostly shep to me. Would you like to do one of those DNA test to be sure?
-
Not really (aren't they a bit expensive?), I'll love her the same either way.
-
I know she's not a Basenji, but I thought you all might want to see a few more pictures of Lucy:
She's gained about 3 pounds since we got her!
The flash makes her seem alot whiter than she actually is.
Something's caught her attention…
Don't get too close to the camera! -
She is very cute… and I am sure she will bring lots of fun and joy!
-
Here is a pic of a dark and light colored shepherd pup. I don't know an awful lot about akitas but I could see GS-Akita mix. I also see a b shape to the face and ears. A lot more slender than the GS pupies usually are.
But overall ADORABLE!
-
She's adorable! Very cute!
