The ears say Basenji. I have never replied but felt I had to this time. I have a Basenji-Pitbull mix named Daisy. It was Daisy's ears (and behavior) that I discovered her to be part Basenji. I have not found another breed with the ears such as Basenji's have. I'm sure I will get "crap" because I have not had DNA or other testing done but there is no mistaking, Daisy is part Basenji. I think its important to know if your dog is part Basenji because in Daisy's case she is 98% Basenji and 2% pitbull concerning her behaviors and personality. Daisy is 2 years old and it has been quite a learning experience owning such a smart, stubborn, loving, mind of her own, amazing dog! Daisy is a mix but I have to train, teach, go outside to yell out frustrations cause of her (and no I'm not kidding, but never in front of her) and all that goes with a pure Basenji because trying to train her like a normal dog does not work.
Is she part Basenji?

Newly adopted puppy, thinking she’s part basenji but not sure. Please share you thoughts
-
Could be!?! Best to do a DNA test. But OMG - she is adorable! A precious pup!
-
Yeah I think I might do a dna test! We keep getting people saying she might be a Jack Russell or retriever, so I’m curious to what she really is. But thank you!!
-
She appears to have a curled tail. What are some of her characteristics and quirks?
-
That’s one of the main reasons I was thinking basenji. Shes high energy, seems to be a bit stubborn but highly intelligent. Not the biggest in barking but when she does it’s super high pitched. Don’t know if that’s a breed trait or if its she just hasn’t got her big girl bark yet. She loves people and other dogs, cries out when we have to say goodbye to them. I’ve only had her for a week so still getting to see her full little personality come out

Super cute! Not sure how much the DNA test costs but I would want to know. Certainly teases us with some Basenji traits. Enjoy your precious little one!

Aww thank you so much!!
-
She is SO adorable! Looks like some Basenji there! If so, enjoy the ride!!!!
-
She is a gorgeous baby but I can't see any Basenji there, but stay along for the ride (on the forum). I could be wrong. Do a DNA test if its important, otherwise just love her !

Thank you everyone for the input!!

Agree fully with Zande.. but she is very, very cute
