Yes, his backline is definitely Chihuahua, but he is much leggier. He doesn't carry himself like most Chihuahuas; he doesn't appear nervous or nippy; his colouring is Basenji. I really don't want to see him die in that shelter.
have you applied with brat yet? it is www.basenjirescue.org also sometimes breeders get dogs back where their homes just didnt work out. im sure the right dog will come up. im glad you found this forum. welcome!
Its very hard not to be judgemental, but when I deal with folks rehoming their dogs, I do try to be kind.
At least until I get the dog out of the home.
Then I vent to my dog rescue friends.
Sometimes, you just have to.
