Dna test on the way to the lab. will update when I get results

We adopted Jody from an animal shelter almost a year ago. They told us she was between 6 and 8 yrs old.!They said she was Basenji mix. She has straight tail, barks (alot), and weighs about 34 lbs. Every once in a while she makes a rattling sound in her throat. We are planning to do a dna test on her. 0_1516461496190_jo.jpg

Update on JOJO.....When we went to the shelter to put up Jojo they said she was good in crate and to roam when no one was home. I was very nervous but I left her to roam for awhile while I was out. She was wonderful and didnt do any damage to anything. I have left her to roam for about 4 times now, sometimes a few hours at a time and she is great!! She never even touches the cats toys. We're had here alittle over a week now. Yay!!! lol

Thanks for the info, I think I will crate train since when I do go out, I wont be out long.

Hi everyone. My husband and I are adopting a 5 yr old Basenji mix. We are picking her up tomorrow from a shelter. She will be the only dog. Altho we have a crate we have never needed to use it on any of our dogs. I am home all the time except for grocery shopping , etc. After looking up the Basenji breed alot of people say you should crate them when no one is home or they will chew your house up. Any advice would be great!
