  • @Nino87 Well ~ she sure is a cute little girl! All I'm seeing at the moment that reminds me of Basenji are that all 4 feet are white! Looks like she's getting some wrinkles in her for-head but a lot of dogs have wrinkled for-heads! In my opinion, she "might" have a few drops of Basenji in her!! There will be others in this forum that will be able to tell you more about that sweet puppy! Lot's of love, petting, grooming, kisses, talking to her or singing, good food ... that's all they want & it's the best thing they can get ~ especially love!!


  • Her mannerisms may tell you more than her looks. Certainly her colouring fits. More details would be useful, e.g. does she bark or make other vocalizations? Does she clean herself in a catlike way? Basenjis have some unique traits you don't usually see in other breeds.


  • Very cute.. basenji-esque. But yeah, vocalizations?


  • Hi folks...sorry it took me this long to reply.
    She barks the boof boof style and barks are very rare..and has a long tail(with white spot on top), not lifted like a pure Basenji .
    Super fast..keeps up with a whipet in a dog park, seems like she cant get tired at a dog park.
    likes people and other dogs very much, licks her paws and streches like a cat...scoping every move i make, looks every single person in the face when we walk
    :)
    this is her now!!0_1512601958176_24946495_10214928237100638_1607484654_o.jpg 0_1512601966991_24946169_10214928060616226_1620534133_o.jpg 0_1512601973327_24067947_10214865951063526_1877520365654077501_n.jpg


  • I do think she looks like she has Basenji blood. A DNA test might prove interesting.....sure is a nice looking girl!


  • Whatever she is mixed with, she'a adorable!


  • Sounds like part B to me - anyways, a cute girl and a lot of fun. Enjoy!

    I can see why someone would think there was Terrier, but I'm not so sure about Basenji. (The only way to know for sure is to do a DNA test.) Both of your dogs look very similar. What breed, or mix, is the older one?

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    The traits you described are also found in most of the Nordic/spitz type dogs. I don't see anything overly basenji-ish about him in the pics. What ever he is, he's very hansome.

    She was only 16 pounds when I took her to the vet last but I know she is more now. She was also malnourished when we got her, she is gaining weight but she is still skinny. I made a photo album with some better pictures. I'll add more as I'm still searching through pictures on my camera to find some side views. But right now I'm off cause she is complaining that I'm ignoring her and not throwing the ball! :)
