Here are some pics of my boy, he'll be 5 months in 2 weeks. He's been doing great and has improved amazingly in every single aspect of his behavior. The first 2 pics were taken the night we got him, the last 2 were taken yesterday.
Now I look again Portuguese Podengo could well be in there to a large extent. Lovely feisty little dogs. One smooth one I know quite well is very similar in size to a Basenji but shorter in the leg
If he had a freckles on his underside (and no, um, male parts) he would look just like my female Gossip. She sits with her head curled like that and sleeps just like that !
I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji.
As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.
i think hes just trying to flaunt his ridiculously long toe nails.. he gets angry when we try to clip em. we gotta muzzle him and take him to the vet to do it.. haha what a little pain in the butt :p he is my little boy though:D
