@zande I know that I’m lucky to have found him! I hope he feels that he lucked out, too. Actually, I don’t care very much what “mix” he is. I had just never heard of basenjis before my Vet mentioned it. He doesn’t have a long tail - it seems to have been clipped. The barking is only when he hears someone approach my apartment door or if someone comes in that he doesn’t know. I’m working on desensitizing him to the latter. He DOES make noises like the dog in the videos below make & he grooms himself quite a bit. He DOES NOT play with toys. Don’t know if that’s breed specific or just Jack! He also isn’t too active; he’d be happy to sit on my lap or with his face in my arm pit all day!
BEAUTIFUL basenji mix in ohio!

Yes she sure is .. I love the look of her but i do have to admit all my dogs sleep in bed with me and if i rolled over and in the middle of the night had those eyes look at me it would scare the heck out of me for a min … She is adorable though i hope she finds a forever home soon.

She sure does have the husky look – I wonder if she's as big as a husky.
And the husky eyes have always given me the creeps - a neighbor has one and I never have trusted that look, there's just something about it, even though huskys are nice dogs. Hope she finds a good home nevertheless. -
Wow…a basenji face with a husky's blue eyes. Beautiful but she looks like she could be a basenji owned by "The Children of the Corn". (Wasn't that the movie with the blue eyed children?) I would think that she will find a home soon with her striking features. Seems to me that people are more likely to adopt a dog that stands out. I hope someone does.
