Species group: Mixed Breeds

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

The pairing between an Australian Shepherd and a Basenji isn't all that common, but you may occasionally encounter this mix in a rescue.

Appearance / health:
It's impossible to predict the exact traits inherited by a mixed-breed dog, but the Australian Shepherd / Basenji Mix will be a good-sized dog.

Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact personality of a mixed-breed dog, training the Australian Shepherd / Basenji Mix could be more difficult than you expect, thanks to the Basenji DNA. Be patient and consistent.
