The question about the doggy smell is a good one - basenjis do not smell like dogs. If you stick your face right into their fur the comparison is like sticking your face into a nice clean healthy cat - warm and not really a discernable smell. Except their feet. Their feet smell like Fritos sort of.
Is my dog a Basenji Mix?
-
So I adopted my boy right before Christmas this year and absolutely love him but up until recently had no clue what mix he is. While at the dog park this week someone suggested Basenji. Once I looked it up I couldn't believe the resembles. We had been thinking boarder collie/rat terrier mix before hand. Since he seems to have some major herding instincts. Just wanted to get other opinions from those more familiar with the breed!!

@okimelman - I would agree that there is Basenji there.....

Looks like a basenji mix to me. What kind of sounds does he make? He's cute btw.

@DebraDownSouth He's generally extremely quiet but he does yap(more like a small dog bark) at certain individuals.
