    @Nino87 Well ~ she sure is a cute little girl! All I'm seeing at the moment that reminds me of Basenji are that all 4 feet are white! Looks like she's getting some wrinkles in her for-head but a lot of dogs have wrinkled for-heads! In my opinion, she "might" have a few drops of Basenji in her!! There will be others in this forum that will be able to tell you more about that sweet puppy! Lot's of love, petting, grooming, kisses, talking to her or singing, good food ... that's all they want & it's the best thing they can get ~ especially love!!

    Her mannerisms may tell you more than her looks. Certainly her colouring fits. More details would be useful, e.g. does she bark or make other vocalizations? Does she clean herself in a catlike way? Basenjis have some unique traits you don't usually see in other breeds.

    Hi folks...sorry it took me this long to reply.
    She barks the boof boof style and barks are very rare..and has a long tail(with white spot on top), not lifted like a pure Basenji .
    Super fast..keeps up with a whipet in a dog park, seems like she cant get tired at a dog park.
    likes people and other dogs very much, licks her paws and streches like a cat...scoping every move i make, looks every single person in the face when we walk
    :)
    this is her now!!0_1512601958176_24946495_10214928237100638_1607484654_o.jpg 0_1512601966991_24946169_10214928060616226_1620534133_o.jpg 0_1512601973327_24067947_10214865951063526_1877520365654077501_n.jpg

    I do think she looks like she has Basenji blood. A DNA test might prove interesting.....sure is a nice looking girl!

    I don’t think you are, dang it and I want ALL the dogs to be Basenji! Still… great looking pup. Get a DNA test. If that pup has ANY Basenji in it, I’ll send you a beer. 👊😁👍

    The traits you described are also found in most of the Nordic/spitz type dogs. I don't see anything overly basenji-ish about him in the pics. What ever he is, he's very hansome.

    @JulYEAH: Yeah, he does bark, but he also makes alot weird bizarro noises and is really vocal (not always barking). We have a rescue(r) dog who appeared on our side porch at 2:30 a.m. at about 3 months old. The vet has agreed she is probably a Basenji mix; however, she pointed out that DNA tests are notoriously expensive and inaccurate. Your dog certainly seems to carry the characteristics. Many people have approached us to ask if she is a Basenji. One of them is a man who works in Africa, where they are common. He first pointed out her curved tail. The body style, with the tiny waist, also seems to fit. And the SPEED is astounding. She is compelled to run, and has a nose that won't quit. She also makes weird noises: the classic "yodeling." Purebred Basenjis are said not to bark; however, I believe as a mix she got the best of both worlds. She follows every personality characteristic I have discovered about Basenjis: *Curved Tail *Narrow Waist *The ability to "yodel" *Social, But NOT Strictly a One-Owner dog - She loves everyone and will take a trip around the world before coming home if she escapes and has friends all over the neighborhood); *"Built-In Entrenching Tools" - She digs holes everywhere; *Excruciatingly Intelligent - She will sometimes contemplate whether a command is in her best interest before performing it. *Crazy-Brilliant "Hunting" Nose - She can sniff a squirrel, cat, or other intruder from three doors down and cannot rest until she has chased it away. The other part(s) of her heritage have remained a mystery. There is apparently a larger breed in the mix, as she is about 10 pounds heavier than a Basenji, with a wider facial structure. This morning I saw a picture of a Visla and had an "aha!" moment. We may both have the honor of owning Basenji-Visla mixes!

    Oh yeah, he looks way more like a b-mix to me than a lot of the pups listed as basenjis on Petfinder. And they mention he's not a barker. What a cutie! Someone go get this guy! :D
