A friend of ours talked to the woman with the 7 month old female today. The original owner was older, got her from a shelter (as a Jack Russell) and she was just too much energy. The current 'foster' took her to help the original owner, but she has several other dogs, the basenji has already escaped once. She has chickens, etc., and her husband wants her re-homed soon. I saw a (poor quality) photo and she looks pure basenji but has one drop-tipped ear and barks occasionally, she is intact still. No one I know is up for a youngster like this, but we are asking around. If anyone out there is interested,I'll help with transport.
Does she look like a Basenji?

On PF anything that has a couple of wrinkles is called a shar pei or shar pei mix. I belong to a few shar pei rescue groups and while I'm certainly not an expert, it might be a basenji…

Yes, it looks like a Basenji or basenji mix for sure.
-
looks like some basenji or other primitive type dog in there (caanan dog)
-
That muzzle is more shar pei, but other than that, sure looks very basenji-like.
-
Looks like part B to me! I'm looking at the tail and it does seem to curl, but the legs?? Maybe a herding dog? The muzzle is a bit rounded too.

Thank you for opinions!
I don't think she is in any danger in the sanctuary but probably it would be nice to let them know that she might be a basenji - more chances to get adopted.
And there's absolutely nothing from a shar pei in her!
