Basenji Mix ?

[maxalex]

Hi guys, we adopted Noel from animal shelter in Portugal 3 months ago. At first we suspected it was a Podenco mix but now we think it could be a Basenji mix as well. Mainly because of the curled-up tail, he trots like a horse and he is very clean and hardly smells like a dog. I would be interested in what you think! Thanks!

Maybe in addition. He can bark normally but also does kind of the typical Basenji yodelling sometimes, but mostly at home

How tall is he and what does he weigh? Would like to see a side view standing....

The only sure way to know is a DNA test. Nice looking dog!

@eeeefarm Thanks He is like 15,748 Inces (40cm) and like 26 Pounds (12kg)

He walks often like he owns the park

We will try a dna test as well

Height and weight would fit. Not as square as a Basenji, but the picture of him trotting is suggestive to me. Certainly possible. Always hard to tell with mixed breed dogs. DNA tests sometimes spit out surprising results!

@eeeefarm Thank you for your opinion. I'll write again when we have the result of the DNA test

He's a handsome fella regardless, though I see some B in there!

Looks can be so deceiving- regardless he is beautiful and lucky to have found a happy home. The only way to know for sure I’d a DNA test. ️

@Kembe 1 hardly any podengo dna on file and honestly the guess your breed tests are just that. Phot in field looks more podengo Close up basenji. Enjoy your dog. Fyi I raised basenjis since 1982 and Podengo grande since 2007
