I am new and came across your forum through a google search. I recently adopted India from a shelter in New Mexico. After reading up on breeds, I feel as if she may be part Basenji. Sorry, not exactly sure where to post this, but figured someone one here would know ;)
I would have to say yes, I believe your loving India is in fact, part Basenji. After the research that you have done, does she have the typical Basenji charicteristics.
I am no expert but I looked at the photo before reading your post and I thought it was one. The classic white shoulders, upright ears, pointed nose and shape of face....I agree a profile view would add but it would not be hard to convince me this dog has some basenji genes.
, even the strange voices seem to appear in many pariah type dogs.
I can so see that, Moses, our almost 9 month old portuguese podengo grande sounds just like a howlling, yodeling basenji at times, then he breaks into this excruciatingly loud bark..
