Another possibility might be Rat Terrier. They do come in brindle, although that colour is out of favour. There is one in my neighbourhood that has a bit of a Basenji look to him, and his tail is very short.......not sure if it's natural or docked.
@irena:
They are definitely handsome couple :).
I understant definitely that Kas was nervous. My father is still nervous on shows although he started with showing 8 yrs ago :eek::D.
:eek: we have a long way to go then :D
