Do you think he is part basenji or Jack russell?

He is very cute.... regardless of what the mix is..... could be a Basenji mix

Regardless of what he is - he is beautiful! You are both lucky to have found each other! He does look part Basenji to me! Congratulations on your new pup!

Talk about adorable. I see why you wanted him. He does look like a basenji with the tail and some markings. Congratulations

Not sure what he is mixed with - but he is 'Himself' - unique - and has found you ! DNA test will tell you if you want to know. He is absolutely enchanting - Lucky people (and doggie !)

@jlrice1986 I would recommend getting a DNA test done. He looks predominantly basenji and there are health concerns which you need to know about if he is. Fanconi is one which you can test for. Reading through the forum will also help you a lot as they are a very unique breed. Challenging but incredibly rewarding.

Very cute! I own a basenji jack russell She has basenji markings but barks like a JR and is extremely energetic!****

He's darling. Brat had a half chihuahua/half baseji on the mixed page years ago. So who knows. Whatever, that' is one cute fellow!

A basenji/jack russel would not be affected by Fanconi as it is necessary for both parents to have the gene. Unless the parents are also mixes with fanconi genes. However I agree the DNA can give a lot of value for health as well as cues about what breeds are in the mix.
