@zande I know that I’m lucky to have found him! I hope he feels that he lucked out, too. Actually, I don’t care very much what “mix” he is. I had just never heard of basenjis before my Vet mentioned it. He doesn’t have a long tail - it seems to have been clipped. The barking is only when he hears someone approach my apartment door or if someone comes in that he doesn’t know. I’m working on desensitizing him to the latter. He DOES make noises like the dog in the videos below make & he grooms himself quite a bit. He DOES NOT play with toys. Don’t know if that’s breed specific or just Jack! He also isn’t too active; he’d be happy to sit on my lap or with his face in my arm pit all day!
Basenji/Beagle mix??

Do you think my rescue dog, Millie, is a Basenji/Beagle mix? She is 2 years old, and weighs 18 pounds. She yips, howls, rarely barks, has the curly tail, initially dislikes other dogs that she meets, very territorial, very loving, sleeps a lot, plays very hard, and is very loyal and sweet. I love her to pieces! She does remind me of a cat's personali ty.

Very possible, a dna kit might tell you. Beautiful either way!
-
There is a good chance that she is a Basenji mix... I don't have a solid guess about what she might be mixed with, but I'm curious why you think Beagle(?).
-
What a BEAUTIFUL dog! She is gorgeous! DNA test will verify her lineage. Whatever she is .......who cares - she’s precious!
-
Seems likely, gorgeous!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Love her and her personality to bits. It does not matter what breed she is, if she fits into your family, she is a winner in anybody language. If you need to know, a DNA test will give you clues what you have.

She's gorgeous - Probably Basenji in there somewhere, yes, Beagle though ? only the colouring might suggest it. Try a DNA test if it really matters !
