A basenji Mix?
-
It is possible. He could be several generations of mix…which in the end will often look Basenji-like. He is cute though! His behavior and lack of bark sound like he might be part B.

Thanks for the reply.
The other thing he does is make a whimper/whining sound. Does it when he sees squirrels in the yard and especially when we pass the horse farm near us. Cracks me up. I laugh each and every time. He's also very affectionate. He loves to curl up next to us and would sit forever if we kept petting him. He's very nasal. Makes funny breathing sounds through his nose and snores a lot. We've only had him for a few months, but love him to pieces already. -
Well one thing that he definitely is - is cute! Welcome!

Great looking dogs

Well, we've learned something new from Shadow. He howls! So funny. If my hubby starts howling, he'll howl right along with him. So cute. When my hubby stops, Shadow stops and walks over to kiss him on the face.

Lol thats so cute when any dog starts to copy their owner. I know the Benny as I call him copies me when I sit on the arm rests of the couch and I'm looking out the window. But when we're on the net he has to step on the keys to feel like one of the guys.

What a CUTE dog
Those eyes are so sweet….he must have you wrapped up tight -
What a beautiful dog

I think you definately have a dog with lots of basenji in him and the behavior and face are a dead give away! Advice…crate the dog before it gets out of hand!

Rafismom, we started him out in a crate, but he hated it. Cried something fierce. We then started leaving him in my son's room, and he was absolutely fine….well, until he started crying again. Then we gave him roam of the house while we were gone, and have had no problems at all. Yes, I know. I'm lucky! He absolutely hates for us to leave, but he's good while we are gone. No complaints here, for sure. Maybe it's the possible black lab that mixed in that makes him so calm? He has his moments, especially outside when he sees a squirrel, etc., but overall he's a very calm pooch.
Just last week, I was walking the dog at a local park when I hear a woman saying something about the dog. She was a good distance away. I then realize she was talking to me and asked if my dog was friendly. I said, "yes" and she came over to pet him. She told me that the dog reminded her of her first dog. She said her first dog was a basenji. After more chatting, she said that it was actually a basenji mix, but that my dog looked a lot like hers. She told me how much she loved that dog and told me all sorts of stories about her. Such a nice lady. Gave me a few bits of advice and about a half hour later we parted ways. This is my first dog, and I've been amazed at how friendly other dog people are when I'm walking him. This has been a great experience.
