Cujo is our 6 month old basenji mix! He's super playful, intelligent, and handsome! We've been trying to figure out what he is mixed with, any guesses would be appreciated! He is only 20 lbs and doesn't seem to be getting any bigger.
@rgk9ruler thank you! I can definitely see some similarities between this breed and my Cotilla 😊 and I could see him hunting squirrels, he loves running after insects and birds.
OMG soooo cute. Her colouring and face don't look like a basenji, but maybe she's mixed with something with stronger genes. Do a DNA test. That would be fun!
The traits you described are also found in most of the Nordic/spitz type dogs. I don't see anything overly basenji-ish about him in the pics. What ever he is, he's very hansome.
Look at the BRAT mixes:

Check out Tia. I think that's what you are looking for. :)
Then look at Tyson and Shiloh. Not the right coloring, but similar build and coat….
