Is Rocko a Basenji Mix?

    Hi everyone!

    I just adopted this beautiful little boy yesterday from a local animal shelter. I named him Rocko after the 90s cartoon Rocko's Modern Life. While I was walking around the shelter various people started throwing breed names at me as for what kind of mix Rocko is but nobody knew for sure. One of the breeds I was told was a Basenji mix of some sort, after looking them up online and thinking about his very quiet nature I thought maybe this fit him. I wasn't entirely sure so I decided to come to the experts that would know, other Basenji owners.

    So, what do you guys think? Is he a Basenji? Does he have Basenji in him? Or do you think he's some other breed?

    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.

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

    Look at the BRAT mixes: http://basenjirescue.org/DOGS-MIXES/Default.htm 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….
