Now I look again Portuguese Podengo could well be in there to a large extent. Lovely feisty little dogs. One smooth one I know quite well is very similar in size to a Basenji but shorter in the leg
Possible Basenji?
-
How big is he? There is something about the shape of the head and the eyes that suggest Basenji to me, but the obedience is definitely a-typical!
I would like to see a side on picture of him standing..... -
Very cute, but not Basenjis, in my opinion
-
If I squint, I could see some basenji but not likely. Can you get a video of his noises? Very cute though! Glad he got a good home.
-
If I cover the ears and imagine him red and white, the face suggests Basenji to me. Still would like to see a side view of his body!
-
@eeeefarm He has the almond shaped eye's too! But I'm thinking that there are other breeds with almond shaped eye's tool
-
Sorry for responding so late, here are some other pictures I have. He's black, so he is really hard to photograph because he looks like a blurry shadow! These are pretty much the only full-ish body pictures I have of him.
-
He likes to jump, so I built him some, that's what the PVC is
-
He's not as square as a Basenji, but the shape and set of the hind legs makes me think he could be a mix of some kind. To me, the back looks straighter than a Whippet's would be. Tail is wrong, of course. My guess is, maybe!
-
@eeeefarm If you look close right above his eyes, you can see a smidge of redish brown, like the tri's get for their eyebrows! I believe someone told me the brownish eyebrows are called "pips"

Thanks for saving a life ! I agree obediance is definitely atypical of a basenji ! The mixed breed dogs are the best most of the time. I have 7 dogs all different breed mixes except for my George who looks like a pure bred Basenji.
All of my dogs including the basenji are rescue dogs (and not from the shelter !) Found on the side of the road rescues!......Thank you , glad the dog found a good home!
