Check with a specialist about the tumour. Is it definitely contained in the toe? If it's spread I wouldn't have it cut into as I feel that this can set off increased growth. As to having a toe removed, one of my bitches had a toe on her front foot removed because it was badly damaged. The vet said that she would always limp but she was back in the show ring after the operation and not one judge she went under noticed the missing toe! She moved as perfectly as ever.
Is my new pup part basenji?

Nala is 13 weeks and definitely a mutt, but was wondering if any of you thought she was part basenji? The curly tail, aloof walk, and ears make me think so, but she is a barker so I know that a different barking breed is mixed in.

I'm leaning towards a Chihuahua mix.
A breeder with more experience of young Basenji's may have a different opinion. -
Muts can be wonderful dogs ! She's a lovely creature with oodles of character but honestly I can't see Basenji in there. Much more likely to be Chihuahua - but you love her anyway, so why worry ? You can always get her DNA tested and might be very surprised !

She is a beauty, whatever breeds she is. Obviously you two share a lot of love together. Wonderful!!!!

Congratulations on your new pup! Nala is a cutie! It’d be interested to know her genetic make-up......I don’t have any guesses. Enjoy her - she is precious.
