One of the reasons I got Basenjis instead of other dogs is just that "needy, begging" thing that drives me crazy in other dogs. I've always preferred cats because I like an animal that demands some respect. When I found the Basenji, I found a very catlike dog who wants a say in what is going on around her, and has a very strong feeling of self-worth. A basenji loves you on its own terms, and I find that perfect for my household.
Is my dog a basenji? Too big?

So I think our dog is some kind of basenji or mix.h e seems too large, but the resemblance is hard to ignore. Any thoughts?
-
His tail does curl upward when he is not being camera-shy, but more of a loose curl. He looks JUST like some pics I have seen, but he seems taller than he should be.
-
What kind of sounds does he make? Likes water? Does he wash himself?
-
He's definitely not a pure basenji - something about his ear placement and there are no wrinkles; the head is way too big

In the video, I do see a lot of basenji traits, but who know... some mixes look like nothing they are really related to. Some basenjis, espec mixes, can be quite large.
