She's a cutie & I love the name ;)

[alm]

Thanks- she came with that name…we were just smart enough to keep it!

Nina is really cute! I see shepherd and basenji in her eyes. She looks very wise and smart. Welcome to the B-Forums.

Hi and welcome!
Your girl looks very regal- what a pretty girl!
I have a basenji/shepherd mix also- they don't look very similar though- here's a pic of Basil:

CUTE! Look at those eyes!!! :-)

Hi Alm- Basil's just over a year, and weighs about 20kgs. He's got a Basenji build, just a bit bigger. :)

BTW, I LOVE Nina's eyes! She's got fire in her lol

Welcome to the forums! Nina is a cutie! Could she possible be mixed with Australian cattle dog or blue healer maybe? I see shepherd, but maybe something else too. Here is some pics of my B/shepherd mix. Her name is Oba (for now) we just adopted her a few weeks ago. She is more shepherd though. She is 11 months old and about 50 pounds!

Here is Oba and Baroo (my other furbaby)

Hi there..
Great looking dogs. I haven't seen either of the two breeds in Nina, from all the looking I did on-line. Her white blaze is just down from her ears on the back of her neck. She has some Shepherd in her, but everything else from feet, ears, and all the perfect colorations are Basenji, from all I've looked at!

[Terry]

I too suspect there's more than Shepherd in Nina - why would anyone dock a Shepherd's tail??? Or maybe it was injured and was surgically removed for some other reason….

Nina is very cute… and there are many, many breeds that have the same type of colorations as Basenjis... same with ears...

If you read the Basenjis standard they are supposed to be small and hooded. From the breed standard: Ears--Small, erect and slightly hooded, of fine texture and set well forward on top of head.
