He sure is cute no matter what—but this Basenji website is really good and I have gotten really good advice and really good input from all the people and their dogs...
Basenji mix?

The last picture reminds me of a basenji

I would be shocked if she didn't have a good deal of Basenji in her. But then, I'm shocked every day!
She's a cutie, whatever she is.

HI, the one of her curled up looks the most Basenji to me, so I'm guessing she has some Basenji in her, whatever she is she has cool markings and is very cute. I love the DNA stuff as well, so interesting, guessing is so hard I always try at the dog park but you can be so off sometimes.

Thanks for the comments, all! Does anyone have any thoughts on what else might be in her makeup?

Completely wild guess Spanish Greyhound?

As I mentioned, simply guessing could be foolhardy….. But I will say, possibly cattle dog, but she'd also need a breed that could provide her with the white spotting gene that would account for all the while on her. I doubt Basenji would give her that, neither would ACD. Something with piebald..... Pointer? one of the scent hounds..... There's no shot of her tail....
I think I'll just wait for the DNA.

some sort of terrier? - jack or smooth fox maybe.
-
Smooth Fox for sure. They sleep in a ball like that and the markings are the same.
We had one and loved him!
Results yet?
-
Okay - yes…the results are in! Tassie is officially 0% basenji...wamp wamp. But- what a weird mix she is! German shepherd, dalmatian, shiba inu, pharaoh hound and greyhound. I guess we guessed wrong - but love her just the same.
Thanks for all the insight, everyone! -
Wow! That is certainly a fascinating mix!
Two sighthounds and a Spitz in there, so will probably see much the same sorts of behaviour as Bs….I bet she's quite a runner too! Good look with your girl!
