I used Wisdom Panel for my assumed Basenji mix. It showed no basenji at all. My boy is 32 lbs and short hair. His DNA says he is 25% American Eskimo 12.5% Boston Terrier 12.5% Chow Chow 12.5% German Shepherd 12.5% Miniature Schnauzer 25% Breed Group-Sporting, Herding, Hound, Terrier. Having owned basenjis all my life I would say my boy has basenji in him by his personality and behavior regardless of what his dna says!!
Basenji and chow

Here is a picture of my sister's silver/black chow and a basenji they encountered at a walk on the beach. My sis said the basenji was just as aloof as her chow, but it kept on looking back to see where his family was. This beach is interesting as almost all of the dogs that go there are purebreds. Unfortunately, my sis did not talk to the basenji's owners - it would have been great to know who his breeders were.

Your sisters Chow is lovely, whats s/he called ?
-
Her name is Beatrice (not sure of her pedigree name). We also call her 'Miss Poo' because she acts like her poo doesn't stink - she is a real princess!
