Yes, his backline is definitely Chihuahua, but he is much leggier. He doesn't carry himself like most Chihuahuas; he doesn't appear nervous or nippy; his colouring is Basenji. I really don't want to see him die in that shelter.
@Janneke:
Sahel is a gorgeous girl! I hope she finds a good home soon! This is what I don't understand.. The pup is about a year old and the owner wants to get rid of her because: "I'll be traveling and working more this year, so I'm finding a new home for a beautiful and sweet female Basenji"
What about thinking before getting a dog :(
It is possible that the owner has a new job, something possibly unexpected especially with the sketchy job market in the US presently. In any case it sounds as if the owner cares about her and would like to find a good home.
