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!!
The 12 Days of Christmas Bloopers - Basenji Style!

Christmas is tiring! The doggie dentist said I had to floss!!
-
Here are some of my favourite captions for yesterday's photos from people on the pix list:
"Pay attention now!This is the way you floss your teeth,
Floss your teeth, floss your teeth.
This is the way you floss your teeth,
in time for Christmas morning!" from Dawn
"Instruments of torture, must be destroyed." from Peggy
"If I've told her once, I've told her a thousand times. We DON'T do hats!" from Kevin & Amy
"Ah, the Spirit of Christmas pest!" from Chris
"No, you shoot the antlers at the squirrels this way" from Jo Lynne
and
"Brace yourself Indy, using that reindeer hat as a slingshot is about to backfire on you." from Debbie
Today, Jigsaw argues with me about wardrobe selection. The 3rd day of Christmas bloopers - basenji style!
-
"Mom! I caught the burglar! I'm soooooo good"
or
"Give up the hat Santa. Mom's gonna want it for tomorrow's photo op!" -
NO, really, this time I wanna wear it, I do, I do!!!!!
-
Yesterday's pix list "finalists" are:

Jigsaw: "Yes, I heard you!" from Linda
Today, Indy takes over for me. What IS it about him and elastic?! The 4th day of Christmas bloopers, basenji style!
-
Love their Santa suits but it's pretty obvious they do not feel the same! B's are such funny animals.
-
"This will show Santa not to leave coal in our stockings!"
-
Indy: If I just lift my left paw, Jigsaw will get this right in the eye….
-
I can still taste the burglar on this hat!
I was told to floss every day! -
Thanks to those of you who have been playing along.
From the pix list people, my favourite captions from yesterday are:
"It looks like spaghetti, but it sure doesn't taste like it. How is your end?" from J.R.
"Jigsaw: What happened to the guy wearing this?
Indy: That was a GUY?!
Jigsaw: Dude! You sleigh me." from Linda
"Indy: "I've got it! If we sabotage the hat, we won't have to wear it." from Kevin & Amy
"Ugh, don't like fluffy pompons, but this stuff could just be like chewing gum….... no wait.... oh ooooops, it's floss for my teeth!!"
from Annechien
"Not sure what it is, but it stretches like a chicken!" from Chris
"Watch it buster - you'll be yankin' your teeth out and possibly sending me flying across the room..." from SueToday, Indy tries to use height to his advantage. (Kind of surprising that the pom pom hadn't been decapitated yet!) The 5th day of Christmas bloopers - basenji style!
-
"Are you sure this is what Mom calls a cracker?"
-
If I let go right now, the pompom will hit her right in the nose! Take that!
-
Finalists from the pix list yesterday are:
"Hang on, Jigsaw! I"ll pull you to safety!!" from Rose
"Jigsaw, look into my eyes…you're getting sleepy, very sleepy." from Kevin and Amy
"More goodies will fit in it if we stretch it out really well!" from Katy
Jigsaw: "L.e.t. g.o."
Indy: "N.o."
Jigsaw: "I'm telling you Indy, it's not manly to wear this kind of hat; l.e.t. g.o."
Indy: "I.AM.too.manly.....MOOOOOOOOM!" from Linda
"If you can't even pull me onto the bed, how are we ever going to go mountain climbing?" from J.R.
"Just pull the string, and out pops a pom-pom cookie." from Sam
and
"It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye..." from HankToday, at the half-way point, Indy needs to take a bit of a rest - this has been hard work, you know! The 6th day of Christmas bloopers, basenji-style!
With the news from Connecticut the last few days, it somehow seems a bit trite to be doing this. But it is my sincere hope that those who have been affected by this tragedy might be able to pause for at least a little smile in this horrible time. Please know that the thoughts and prayers of people around the world are with you.

"Jigsaw: "It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's a wild women with a camera!"
Indy: "Oh the horror, the horror!" <he faints="">" from LindaToday's wardrobe selection was a little less than popular. Their basenji pride looks a bit shattered. Don't worry - they recovered quickly.

"Shameful Mom, utterly shameful…"
or
"Geez it sure is tiring being a reindog"
