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.
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!
I think I see some of the basenji ears, especially in the second picture. I just want to grab them and rub them good! :) It's most likely that there is at least a black lab there too. Also it may be not the first "mix". If it is a generation over there may be more then one mix in there. But either way, Lilly is adorable! :):) It's awesome that she has a good forever home now.
You are in Florida… a sad hotbed of byb/puppymill country. Yep agree with the rest, looks basenji to me too. You might contact Pam Hamilton because she'll know if you are in the hoarder area. I'll ask her to check in here.
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….
