Hello! I just adopted a sweet (but nutty) little girl named Ladybug from the Humane Society. I was told she's a Basset Hound/Australian Shepherd mix. She's verrrrrrrry smart and even more energetic. This morning at the dog park we met a dog trainer who mentioned other breeds. I googled "american foxhound" and BAM! there's my girl.

She's stubborn and bossy like a Basset but I've noticed that most Basset mixes have stubby legs, her legs are almost twice the length you'd expect. But she does have the turned out ballerina feet.

I'm wondering if anyone has any insight to this. When I have a little more money I'm going to do a DNA test but until then....

Do any other breeds have the ballerina feet? Looking at her photos do you have any ideas what she could be?

ballerina feet

by ballerina feet I just mean she has front feet that turn out (like Bassets' do). I can't think of any other breeds that have those kinda legs.

See photos below for what I'm talking about

and DNA testing is only like $60, not pocket change but it might be worth it to satisfy my curiosity...

Make sure you let me know Lightning&Stomps what the DNA folks say if you do send in your cat swab.

Thanks everyone for your advice! I'm going to keep searching!
