Do you think my new girl is a Basenji mix??

    Hi B-Forum members, I'm new here and have been reading posts for a few days. I adopted a rescue dog from a group two months ago and I think she is part Basenji. The rescue group said she was part Shepard, but based on her behavior over the past 2 month and the comment on a possible Basenji-mix breed from the trainer, I think she may be a mix. She is about 2 years and still very high energy. I have to crate her if I can't watch her or she'll chew things up in the house. She also loves to bite the necks of my older 2 lab mix dogs and hold on. They play with her and she goes wild. The biggest challenge is dog aggression. She is nuts when we pas other dogs on walks and once slipped out of her collar and went after a pit bull. I was able to break it up before anyone got hurt. So I'd greatly appreciate your opinions, do you think she looks/sounds like a B-mix?

    @Gigi said in Newbie, I think I have a Basenji Mix?: @eeeefarm She only barks if she actually sees or hears something - and it will be more than one bark, but she is by no means yappy - could be the collie in her :) Then again, when I tell Bailey to get the" red" or "green" ball, is she seeing the same "red" or "green" that I'm seeing, or is it just by word association, who knows? She always gets it right. I agree talking to our dog keeps them engaged with us. Here's a bit of news for you.. we don't see the same red and green as other humans. Not just those with various types of color blindness, but in general. Take one of those color vision tests with someone and you'll see when you rank things, or decide if blue or green, or if you can see the numbers in the pics. Neitz confirmed that dogs actually do see color, but many fewer colors than normal humans do. Instead of seeing the rainbow as violet, blue, blue-green, green, yellow, orange and red, dogs would see it as dark blue, light blue, gray, light yellow, darker yellow (sort of brown), and very dark gray.Oct 20, 2008 Psychology Today"

    Thank you~ I'm going to do a little research about how to equip her for the snow. We're planning a trip to Indiana in February and I don't want her to freeze. I'm wondering if dog shoes would be a good thing to get and have her get used to for walking in snow. I know she'll need a new coat since she's outgrown her old one. She gets shivery easily.

    "All in all, I really don't care how much Basenji or whatever is in him, he is a wonderful dog. I'm not a dog person at all, but I love Hazard. LOVE-That is all you need!!!! Keep us posted on how your son blossoms!
