Mixes are so hard to tell, one mixing of the same mix of dogs(say basenji/fox terrier) can give you different looking dogs to another litter mix of the same type of dogs, sometimes characteristics of one dog comes out more than the other. At the dog park people have the same mix but they look quite different, then if one dog is a mix itself it gets even harder. I just think mixes are so interesting and think it would be interesting to find out through the DNA test they have. I suppose in some cases it leads to better understanding of your dog and it's needs. She is a nice looking dog and special whatever she is. I have yet to get a yodel just for me, even the cats have gotten one so you are lucky if she gives them freely.
Basenjis sleep in the strangest positions
-
Exhibit one
Exhibit two (nope, he's not stretching here!)
-
I know these sleep positions :D.
Masai falls asleep in second position sometime.
They are simply sybarites . -
I love it, Otis sleeps like that too, sometimes and sometimes he sleeps in a tiny little ball with his backlegs up under his shin..very flexible indeed.
-
I have some fun photos I took the other day. Medjai will make sure if he's on his back that some legs are high in th air or his head is falling off the edge of his bed. Oh, and my other photo confuses me on, how many legs do they have? Sometimes it looks like he has 8.
-
Oh the legs can give you a bit of a fright sometimes! He was lying next to me last night and it looked as if he had a spare foot coming out of his back knee bit!
-
Great pictures they do sleep strange I wonder sometimes if there neck hurts when they wake up. Your correct how many legs do you see? My kids say "let it all hang out" when they sleep on back with belly out in the open.

Ella almost always sleeps curled up in a tight light ball, which we call a "button." We always remark on how flexible she is and joke about how we are going to start sleeping with our chins tucked behind our shins, or our noses behind our knees. I don't know if she is sore when she wakes up, but she must be stiff because she does a back-arching compression stretch and a full-body-all-four-limbs-at-once stretch when she wakes up.

That's the same thing Kananga does. He almost always sleeps that way. The stretching is entertaining for some reason.

I love watching them stretch when they wake up… in fact I wish I could stretch like they do...
-
When Otis does a downward dog he puts most avid yoga doers to shame, or so it looks..I so wish I had that flexibilty.
-
Haha! Funny stuff. Sometimes Denver feels the need to tromp all over Trinity….

Isn't that the truth! My Bs roll over and over on the floor, then scoot along on their tummy on the carpet, and stretch so big.
-
I call Congo my Yoga dog because he will sleep in the recliner on his head-I will post a picture of it sometime and I agree on the the downward dog thing. I wish I could do that!

So do Akitas. This is Mishka, our 95-pound, 18-months old baby:
And here's our Lana:
