Question What kind of dog (breeds)

Okay I ask this because the next time I get a dog I want one very similar to her.

Temperment wise and energy level.

She is very calm (most of the time) she does have a bit of a prey drive (I could do without that but its managable). She is a couch potato and a cuddle bug. She is very smart, a fast learner and she is a pleaser.

She is 24 pounds. (I don't want a dog larger than 30-35 or smaller than 15)

I just figure if I could identify her breeds that would give me an idea of dogs to look into that would be similar.


The rescue said she was a Jack Russell mix (the pound papers said Jack Russell Chihuahua she is too big for that)

We think she is either part Corgi or Basenji and Jack Russell (mom was a Jack Russell)

She is not much bigger than our minature poodle (just heavier)

Hmm this is a tough one. My first thought was corgi because of the face and ears. But the body and tail really remind me of a Shiba Inu or a Besenji. Both breeds are very smart breeds. Besenji's tend to be a little dog aggressive when meeting new dogs, but will be very loyal to the family pack. They are also very calm and quiet dogs. They actually dont bark. They might make a chirp kind of noise and a light howl, but I've never heard a besenji make either noise.

Here are some more of her puppy pictures








Here is a recent one





--------------------------------------------

I forgot to add she is more of a people dog than a dog dog. She is so submissive that most dogs gang up on her and she has gotten hurt because of that. She is good with our poodle and the other poodle she knows and the beagle she knows.

Thanks

Min pins and Besenji's are both "people" dogs. So its always possible.

As a side note, you can pick up a breed DNA test from petsmart (its like 60 bucks) and it will tell you what type of breeds are in your dogs DNA. Now I dont know how well they work, but just thought I'd share!

oh I know about the Dna tests and I think they are a waste of money. They just aren't that accurate (and they don't test for that many breeds) I just don't trust it


I figure when its more perfected I might do it

Yeah I'd never spend the 60 bucks on it haha. Someone suggested it for me since both my boxers are rescues and then I'd know if they are "pure" or not. I said "welp, they look like a boxer, the tails are docked, the dew claws are removed, and they act like a boxer....I dont need a piece of paper to prove it!" And this was coming from a woman who had a boxer from a "breeder" so wouldnt she know what a boxer looks like? lol

Don't go with Besengi and especially not Jack Russel Terrier if you want a couch potato its safer to am for a Corgi.

Yeah I am leaning toward a corgi or corgi mix (if I adopt from a rescue) next time. They have such a similar demeanor to Sasha. She is just basically exactly what we needed in a dog. As far as energy and temperment goes.

I'm just afraid it couldn't handle our 4 mile long walks every saturday and sunday. Like she does (we also do 45 minute walks usually twice a day but since winter we cut back to once a day most days)

(She luckily doesn't have the Jack energy, but mom was a Jack) I definately wouldn't go with a Jack.


I'm just trying to figure out what the best breed of dog for us would be. I mean I would want the dog to be good with other dogs but also a loving couch potato that can handle our long walks. Oh and not real nervous around kids (she is but i think thats because she hasn't been raised around them....we don't have kids and we don't know anyone with young kids. The youngest child she has been around is my 9 year old sister (we have a 14 year age gap between me and her I'm the oldest) when my husband and I (and the dogs) went to visit my father

Like Sasha.
