Dog from Hurricane Katrina what breed?

I agree with the basenji/pit bull mix. He's too large to be all basenji, but the coloring and the tail is perfect. He has the pit bull size and musculature, and especially those jaw muscles that you see when he's "smiling"

Cute dog.

That's basenji all the way! I love to watch Corky trot. He so graceful and he glides through the yard effortlessly.
Good luck with him. Enjoy all the love he will give you.

I've been looking at basenji's and what not. And although the dog's colors and tail look like a basenji his mouth is way wider then the basenji's. And his muscles are huge on his front and rear legs. I wish he wasn't so disobedient though I have to read up on training him he takes everything and scatters it. gloves mops sticks buckets he's crazy

Yes, I'd say pit/basenji, too. Yes, he has basenji characteristics but his width and muscle he has like you said is pit-like. I think he has pretty even characteristics of both breeds.

Took the dog fishing today he was chillin, even took my seat.

You must be patient and try to stay several (yes several) steps ahead of him. If you don't see him for a while, look for him or call him to you. Praise him when he's being good even if he's just laying there. Or even better, if he doesn't have a brother or sister, get him one.

Some sort of hound mix. He may have a touch of Basenji as the coat color & tail set are suspicious, but that's not a common breed in this area. However, since a "pit bull" is not a breed, but rather a generic term for several different & distinct breeds (the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Bulldog, & Bull Terrier), it would be hard to know. And many other breeds have similar musculoskeletal characteristics.

However, thanks for adopting him. He's a cutie.

I was going to say Pit/Collie due to the coloring and the longer-appearing coat. Both Pit Bulls and Basenjis have smooth coats. Or possibly Pit/Husky?

Just to update the thread we gave the dog away to my dads co worker, unfortunately he said the dog attacked him and bit his arm so he turned him in to the humane society. I regret letting him go, I would of taken him back if the person we gave it to didn't want him. To late now though.

Wow, was he aggressive in any way before you gave him up?
