Is this a Basenji (mix)?

Basenji Talk
  • I

    Hello forum,

    I am new and came across your forum through a google search. I recently adopted India from a shelter in New Mexico. After reading up on breeds, I feel as if she may be part Basenji. Sorry, not exactly sure where to post this, but figured someone one here would know ;)

    I would have to say yes, I believe your loving India is in fact, part Basenji. After the research that you have done, does she have the typical Basenji charicteristics.

    @Kembe 1 hardly any podengo dna on file and honestly the guess your breed tests are just that. Phot in field looks more podengo Close up basenji. Enjoy your dog. Fyi I raised basenjis since 1982 and Podengo grande since 2007

    @sleacc said in Basenji Mix?: @martianmaya22 I wish I knew how to enter a photo here ! You can upload from your computer. Click on the symbol 2nd from the right at the top of the compose box. Make sure your picture file is not too large! Or you can link to a picture that is already on line (symbol 5th from right, above).

    Wow Megan. I just looked @ my Basenji book again and it is INCORRECT. I did some research online and there ARE other breeds who have disconnected paw pads like a wolf. Thanx for the lesson!

    I am no expert but I looked at the photo before reading your post and I thought it was one. The classic white shoulders, upright ears, pointed nose and shape of face....I agree a profile view would add but it would not be hard to convince me this dog has some basenji genes.

    They may not be very familiar with breeds. I agree with Robyn he looks all Rat Terrier to me. Keep in mind that the Rat Terrier breed does have some basenji blood in it and some have a strong resemblance to basenjis.
