So many times people post pictures and ask what folks on the forum think about their dogs. Often, the most convincing in appearance turn out disappointingly to not have any Basenji blood. When you think about it, there are not likely all that many crossbreds out there. Most people with an intact Basenji bitch are not looking to cover her with anything but a purebred male, and in North America generally females are spayed because most breeders require it for pet puppies. Bitches that are showing are even less likely to be bred to something outside the breed.
Basenji mix…what is the other half??

Hello,
I am contemplating adopting this rescue Basenji Mix. I know they have a "complicated" temperament, so I am trying to get a feel for what she is mixed with to better understand/ predict what her temperament might be.
Basenji and ?????
I was thinking maybe golden retriever? The floppy ears and short bronze wiry coat are the biggest discrepancies to a pure breed that I can see… one or both parents could be a mix as well, so it makes this actually impossible to predict.
Just looking for a best guess.
Thanks!

I can tell you what it is… UNBELIEVABLY CUTE! Oh wow, no idea on the mix though. How big is she? How old?

Is this a Taiwan dog by any chance?

She is *lovely"! Could it possibly be dachshund?

Who cares what she is - she's gorgeous and you should get her. Have her DNA tested later if you really need to know…..I did that for my basenji/collie/sheltie mix, who is the nicest dog you ever want to meet, unless you are a kid, because she is afraid of them.
