Hi! New here. Meet Charlie. Basenji ?

    Hi! New here .. and new to what I think is a Basenji mix! We adopted Charlie from a kill shelter about two weeks ago. He was listed as a terrier mix & I have been trying to figure him out, but wasn't having much luck until today. I started looking up breeds by color and came across Basenjis! The traits are totally him. We actually always tell everyone how quiet he is & very different from our chihuahua , so I thought it was funny to find that Basenjis are known as the 'barkless dogs'. I am thinking he is a Basenji/Dachshund mix because he has short little legs and at 7 months old , he's only 11 lbs.

    What do you guys think? Basenji mix?

    @sharronhurlbut: Neat action shots. Thanks for sharing…bet they were all tired when you got them home. Yes!! really tired!!!!!!!! They slept almost whole sunday too :D @Kananga: You know I had the same issue the other weekend at the dog park. Kananga was very anti-social and growling a tad. I realized it was because of motion-sickness from the long car ride (I found out on the ride back…. unfortunately). So it made sense he didn't want to play. He was feeling ill. Happy to see Chafuko and Buana having fun with the other basenjis. :D It's possible, we often drive very long distance, he never acts ill, but it's a good explanation for his act!!! Thanks!
