Hi!!! I have a new puppy. I did not get him from a great breeder or rescue. I work at Walmart and some customers came in with a tiny puppy. I had been wanting a chihuahua mix for a very long time. They told me it was a Jack russell/chihuahua mix and that he was 8 weeks old. Of course I had to have him because I lost my soul dog who sas a Jack Russell 6 years ago and I think about him every day. I thought that it was fate to have this puppy come into my store and have it be part Jack and part chihuahua. Impulse driven, I got their number and got the puppy the next day. These people were not knowledgeable about dogs at all. They did not breed them. They said their friend's dog had puppies and they were finding them homes for them. I took him to the vet and they thought he was only 5 weeks old! Ugh! He weighed 1.2 pounds. Now at 13 weeks old he weighs 5lbs. He is growing quick. He doesn't really do a single bark often. Have maybe heard a single bark twice since the 2 months I have had him. He kind of bays like a hound all the time. I don't think he is part Jack anymore. I'm really thinking he is part basenji. The markings, the head shape, the very curly tail, the "bark" is just leading me towards basenji mix. I looked up the basenji yodel and it sounds so much like him!! But what doesnt fit chihuahuas, Jack's, or basenjis are his eyes. Unless some basenjis have his colored eyes?? What do you think!?!?!

RE: Do you think part basenji?
@elbrant Pictures taken today. His ears are standing more and more each day. I thought about DNA testing, but sooo expensive. He is definitely a little longer in the back, but chihuahuas can be that way too. So hard to say. His eyes are yellow, green and blue around pupil. Have been that way the whole time and hasn't changed. I asked the vet if they would and she said hard to tell for sure, but she does not think so.

RE: Do you think part basenji?
Hey guys, my dog is now 9 months old. Bigger than we thought he would be at about 15lbs. His ears have gone from both down to one up one down to the other up and the one that was down is up and then to both up and now I think he has settled on one folded and one completely erect. I'm still not sure if he is part basenji or not, but I still think there is a strong possibility. Here are updated photos
