Hello everyone!

My boyfriend adopted a six month old puppy last week that is supposedly a rat terrier mix, but she looks a heck of a lot like a Basenji to me. The shelter lists her mother as a rat terrier and father as unknown. She is a great little girl, but doesn't act like a terrier. Shelby is calm for her age, very smart and a total love bug. Aside from her curly tail and big ears, her most noticible Basenji trait is her vocalizations. She doesn't bark. She will whine, yap, or scream, depending on her mood! :D

Anyway, does she look like a Basenji mix to you all? I've done some research on the breed in the past and know that they require different training techniques than other dogs.

Thanks!

Kelly
