Basenji Mix?

    Hello-

    My boyfriend and I rescued a dog back in August. Ollie is now about 7 months old. On the origial adoption paperwork they wrote lab/terrier mix, however, I don't think that is the case. We have had quite a few people mention Basenji to us- a breed I knew nothing about. After doing some research I do believe Ollie may be part Basenji (both physically and behaviorally). He was just neutered last week and the vet told me he weighs 33.6 llbs. Just looking for some opinions. Thanks…

    I have attached a few photos- one is from when Ollie was still a wee puppy- the others are more recent!

    Do you have any photos of him standing up, a side view?

    One thing that I have learned in life is to accept that things are not all black or all white. Life is shades of gray and just because someone sees a different shade of gray than you do, it doesn't mean their shade is right or wrong, its just different. ~ Robyn Dubbert

    The last one, lying down with crossed paws, makes me think Basenji. Whatever he is, he is very cute! :)

    Did he come from Taiwan, by any chance?

    His muzzle is a little wider and his coat seems a little plush (maybe still puppyish), but aside from that, he resembles a lot of Formosan Mountain Dog mixes I know.

    He is Gorgeous! The third picture looks a little Basenji to me, but I'm not an expert

    @Buddys: Actually, my first B was found running around and was not altered. Always a possibility since the canine need of procreation is pretty darn high up there with food, water, and air…... Oh I'm sure it does happen and will continue to happen but I just don't see it happening as much as rescues claim it happens. I know for a fact some shelters (the one I worked at did!) will label dogs as rarer breeds to get them adopted faster. We had two scruffy "doodle" mix mutts and the animal warden INSISTED they were Wired haired pointing griffons. LOL.

    @Mr: I have a question. Our 3 B's are all adoptees (rescues), all are full Basenji, we've had them tested by the Wisdom Panel Purebred Certification Test, but have not the slightest clue as to their bloodlines. What do we do to get them approved for lure coursing? For AKC, look into the ILP program. I have no idea about ASFA, but maybe once you have your ILP AKC number, you can transfer to ASFA
