Maggie Moo the Carolina Dog / Basenji mix (Carengi). She was rescued from a shelter in West Virginia, making her way to Delaware and then on to Pennsylvania, where she now has a permanent, loving home. Maggie's coat has longer guard hairs on her neck, withers and down her back, and VERY mobile ears, which are all Carolina Dog traits. Her singing voice and curly tail come from the Basenji in her. Her owners say she loves kids and describe her as sweet, interesting and loving.
The Carengi is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Carolina Dog and the Basenji. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
