Is Rocko a Basenji Mix?

    Hi everyone!

    Yesterday I got the honor of adopting this little beautiful boy from a local animal shelter. They really weren't sure what he was exactly breed-wise but people kept throwing breeds at me that they guessed he was and I was looking them up online. One of the ones that really struck me as similar to him (especially because of the wrinkles on his forehead and his extremely quiet nature) was the Basenji. So I decided to look up a Basenji forum because you guys are obviously the experts on the breed ;D

    What do you guys think? Is Rocko part Basenji?

    I can see why someone would think there was Terrier, but I'm not so sure about Basenji. (The only way to know for sure is to do a DNA test.) Both of your dogs look very similar. What breed, or mix, is the older one?

    @Buddys: Actually, my first B was found running around and was not altered. Always a possibility since the canine need of procreation is pretty darn high up there with food, water, and air…... Oh I'm sure it does happen and will continue to happen but I just don't see it happening as much as rescues claim it happens. I know for a fact some shelters (the one I worked at did!) will label dogs as rarer breeds to get them adopted faster. We had two scruffy "doodle" mix mutts and the animal warden INSISTED they were Wired haired pointing griffons. LOL.
