Scarlet is a cutie whatever she is! If you have a real interest in learning what she is, I would recomment wisdompanel.com - there you will find a site that will send you swabs for her cheeks, then will later on send you a report showing everything that is in her, and how much of each - it goes back five generations and the reports are wonderful. I know I sound like a commercial, but we sent off to find out what our Gemma was mixed with, and found she is basenji all the way on one side, and sheltie on the other, with a little collie thrown in three generations back. Because the reports send along information about what the breeds personalities are, it's really easy now to see when Gemma is being sheltie-ish and when she's being basenji, which is mainly when she's interacting with her PB sister. Good luck with Scarlet, and welcome! I think you can also pick up the DNA kits from wisdompanel at PetSmart, or so someone told me.
Hello! Basenji/Chi Mix maybe, what do you think?
-
Whatever he is, he's in good shape. His weight looks great! We had someone stop in about a month ago or so and ask the same question. I was CERTAIN that THAT dog had Basenji in it. She had him DNA tested and I was dead wrong. Not even a little bit of Basenji. So... I just don't know. If you do have him tested, please come back and share the verdict!

I will, thank you!

Maybe a Basenji and Fiesta mix. Looks just like my neighbors dog.
-
What a cutie pie!!
-
@wynette I've never heard of that breed, interesting
-
@annejanine Thank you, he's even cuter in person
-
@Wynette, did you mean Feist? I don't think Fiesta is a breed.
"In order to get along with a Basenji, you have to be at least half as smart as the dog!"

If you decide on a DNA test use Embark instead of Wisdom. I think Embark's breed data base is supposed to be more accurate. There is a Reddit group where people post DNA results on their dogs. Sometimes the results are hilarious. Occasionally someone will get results from both Embark and Wisdom with wildly different breeds listed. You can search by breed within the group, r/DoggyDNA.

He's cute - cut those nails, or file them down with a dremel !
Personally, I don't see any Basenji and have very little faith in the results supposed DNA tests come up with. Why not just love him as he is ? You are still welcome on the forum. -
@eeeefarm Yea. My phone auto corrected and I didn't catch it.
