Here's a link to Cooper's photo album. You can see him filling out from an 8 month old stray to a full adult. And you can see him going through several generations of AKC toys.
Cooper IS gorgeous! Kudos to you for rescuing him. I don't understand the mind of someone who would mame an animal. The tail is practically the "tell-tale" sign of breed identity. But, Cooper looks all Basenji to me too.
Thanks! I agree, I love the one with the Rot. And basenjis are all pretty fearless! My DH takes many,many photos, I am just very "low tech" but I am learning.
My avatar image is my Topper, who is now 13 1/2 and the fearless pack leader!
