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 my new pup part basenji?

Nala is 13 weeks and definitely a mutt, but was wondering if any of you thought she was part basenji? The curly tail, aloof walk, and ears make me think so, but she is a barker so I know that a different barking breed is mixed in.

I'm leaning towards a Chihuahua mix.
A breeder with more experience of young Basenji's may have a different opinion. -
Muts can be wonderful dogs ! She's a lovely creature with oodles of character but honestly I can't see Basenji in there. Much more likely to be Chihuahua - but you love her anyway, so why worry ? You can always get her DNA tested and might be very surprised !

She is a beauty, whatever breeds she is. Obviously you two share a lot of love together. Wonderful!!!!

Congratulations on your new pup! Nala is a cutie! It’d be interested to know her genetic make-up......I don’t have any guesses. Enjoy her - she is precious.
