    Hi there. I would do some DNA testing on him. However, if you go to the Colorado Basenji Rescue website, there is a mix at the bottom of the page. There appears to be some similarities. You could also email Peggy of CBR with your photos and ask her. She has been working with Basenji and Basenji mixes for a long, long time.

    @Vintinck: If you are interested in Toys, I would highly recommended a Papillon. They are extremely intelligent and easily trained. They are also quite athletic/agile for a toy breed. They do well in agility and I've even seen some large Paps in flyball. My pap was never super "yippy" but I have met a few who are. They are in the toy group but are from the spaniel family. Yes, the Papillon is is a great little dog - my sister had one once and he was the joy of her life. They are loyal, and intelligent, and the right size for somebody looking for a toy, but not a tiny dog. Her dog was not yappy - he barked if someone was coming into the house, but as soon as she "sshhh'd" him, he quited right down. That's not a bad thing, he was protecting his house and his people until he was given the sign it was all okay.
