Basenji mix.... But what mix!

Whatever his DNA says, he certainly is cute and has definitely won over your hearts. Enjoy your little boy for many year to come.

I don't see any Basenji there at all - but he is a lovely looking dog. I am sure the people who suggested 'Basenji' to you were only going on the tail !

He is lucky to have met you, and vice versa. If it is important to you, get a DNA test and me might all be very surprised. Cherish him -

Thanks everyone!! We plan on doing a DNA test soon. Really curious about his curly tail!

There are many dogs that have a tail curl, example are Akita, Malamute, Husky, etc

You’ll have to post his DNA results on the Forum when you have it done. It will be interesting to find out his genetic make-up.

[Shanellio19]

@tanza very True!!!

[Shanellio19]

@kembe yes I definitely will. Been doing some research and jindo is on my guess list. Will post results in a few weeks!

[Shanellio19]

So the original shelter was wrong! Here are Chester's results for those who are interested. He is a super asian mutt!

WOW! That's some ancestral line!

@shanellio19
“Wow! What a mix!” Lol! Thanks for posting his results. He has very interesting genetic make-up. (Curly tail must be from the Hokkaido Inu or Akita Inu).

So cool! Honestly those are some very primitive breeds so you'll probably see a lot of basenji-like traits and behaviors like prey drive. My friends with ridgebacks and akitas seem to a have a lot in common with us basenjis. You'll have a blast with him, cheers!

@aprilk yea definitely! Thanks for being welcoming to a non-,basenji super mix everyone!!
