My wife and adopted a 7 year old guy from BRAT this past December and he does the same thing. He's a retired puppy mill stud that never learned how to climb stairs until he was "freed." If he gets a running start, he can leap a step or two, but if he walks up to steps, he goes up backwards, just like in the video. He also has a phobia with certain door thresholds. But don't worry. He's a super fun little guy who just has a few little quirks. He can outrun his 12 year old B-sister in the yard, but she always beats him up the stairs.
I think I have a Basenji!

Could be I am not sure but those darn traveling salesmen never come back and check on there babies so we know who the father is.
Yes there are things you have said like Basenji but any way welcome.Rita Jean

Do rat terriers usually have that hair ridge down the side of the neck like Basenji's? That's what caught my attention when I viewed the pic.

All I see is Chihuahua/rat terrier, but there might still be some Basenji in him….he looks too cute..

Thanks for all your help! As I mentioned previously, it was the trainer that
said there may be some basenji in this dog. We had never heard of basenjis,
so it's been interesting to learn more about them, whether or not she has any in her. Thanks again for your input!
