I used Wisdom Panel for my assumed Basenji mix. It showed no basenji at all. My boy is 32 lbs and short hair. His DNA says he is 25% American Eskimo 12.5% Boston Terrier 12.5% Chow Chow 12.5% German Shepherd 12.5% Miniature Schnauzer 25% Breed Group-Sporting, Herding, Hound, Terrier. Having owned basenjis all my life I would say my boy has basenji in him by his personality and behavior regardless of what his dna says!!
When basenjis help (or not)

Where did you learn this craft?? I do a lot of needle work and would love to learn! It is so cute! Isn't Zest just so helpful? At least he didn't grab it and run like mine would have!

Uhm, actually I do have some woolies for sale and am happy to do commissioned works, but I don't think we're allowed to sell things on this site? And I know there have been some problems with pm'ing. BUT I am the only Kim McNeill in Colorado in the BCOA membership roster. I'd be happy to put more information, but don't want to break any rules put forth by the admin's. It such a nice board they've created for us.
You can see some of my other woolies here:

the berner was a memorial piece and I used some of the departed's fur. I'm not sure that would work well with basenji hair, but i can match markings.As far as other works, go to etsy.com and put in "needle felted dog" or just "needle felted". There are lots of nice works on that site.
If you're interested in creating your own (and that's lots of fun!), try your local library or these links:

There are several ways of felting - knitting then felting, wet felting, machine felting and needle felting. Enjoy.
