Am I Basenji?

Chihuahua/Basenji Mix... maybe?
The coloring and marks are familiar to the Basenji...
The size, stature, and facial structure all relate to Chihuahua...

If you decide to do a DNA test, please let us know!

I agree with elbrant. The head is wrong for a Basenji but not quite right (though closer) for a Chihuahua. Whatever he is - just love him for himself !

You guys are ALL amazing. Thank you for your thoughtful replies. I will continue my investigation and if we get Basenji DNA back you will all be the first to know!❤️

Definitely Chi/Bazenji cross cute little guy.one thing about mix breed dogs Is more often than not the crossing decrease common health Issues and diseases in both breeds so you get the best of both worlds He is really cool looking too!

@aprilmaymac Mine will bark so much for barkless lol she only will give 1 bark then starts the seconds turns into her talking in sentences ( yodel )

Otis looks extremely cute and loveable. Siz and weight are within Basenji Parameters. The pose that others post are Basenji like are a standard play bow exhibited by dogs of all varieties so not really indicative. You're naturally curious but when it comes down to it I'm sure DNA results will not make an iota of difference in your love for Otis..

@patty you are so right that DNA won’t matter! We have a play date tomorrow morning so I will get some better images and hopefully a video of his voice. If all goes as planned his crate and bed and toys are ready!!!

[Patty]

Great stuff!! I look forward to seeing more of Otis. X X

Click on the icon second from the right at the top of the compose screen (you need to be in "reply", not quick reply) and you should be able to upload a picture. If it is too large you might have to downsize it first. Any graphics app should do that for you.

@creambasenji Please start a new topic/thread in Member Introductions when you upload an image of your "cream" basenji. That way, more people will see it. (thanks!)
