We bought a dremel to do his nails and he absoutely hates it. I let him look, snif and move it while it was not off and he just backs up. I turned it on and he ran away. So we will us the dog clippers for his nails, those seem to be working.
Is my dog a Basenji?
-
Whatever he is, he is adorable, and I am sure he will make a wonderful companion.

He looks like a chihuahua to me
He is cute!I was thinking Chihuahua , too. I Googled Chihuahua and this site has a wide range of Chihuahuas of varying quality. Scroll down to the third picture. Similar in many ways.

LOL Robyn, I see more chihuahua too.

My first thought was chiuauaha, he has a bit of a domed forhead, i can also see Basenji and he sounds like he has some traits. A Basenji has two pads joined at the bottom on each foot.
Great that you have rescued him and i look foward to hearing all about him. -
he's rather big for a chiuauha though
If you see Chis that are actually from Mexico, they are a lot bigger than what you see here in the US. They vary A LOT!

Does he have a doggie smell?
-
Hard to tell - but whatever I'm sure you love him. My first thought was Corgi because of the ears. See what develops- how old is he? Welcome to the forum.

Corweenie! (Corgi x chihuahua)
Whatever he is, more pictures!

The question about the doggy smell is a good one - basenjis do not smell like dogs. If you stick your face right into their fur the comparison is like sticking your face into a nice clean healthy cat - warm and not really a discernable smell. Except their feet. Their feet smell like Fritos sort of.
