So many times people post pictures and ask what folks on the forum think about their dogs. Often, the most convincing in appearance turn out disappointingly to not have any Basenji blood. When you think about it, there are not likely all that many crossbreds out there. Most people with an intact Basenji bitch are not looking to cover her with anything but a purebred male, and in North America generally females are spayed because most breeders require it for pet puppies. Bitches that are showing are even less likely to be bred to something outside the breed.
Meet Yoda Possible basenji?

Here is a photo of my girlfriend holding him so you can get the perspective of his size
-
Oh, he's quite a bit bigger than I first thought. Perhaps pharoah hound is the most likely, colour fits too.
-
Perhaps also Podenco Andaluz in there - they have that color and the pointy ears. Great smile!
-
Gosh yeah at that size, I'd suggest Pharaoh hound over basenji.
-
@kjdonkers he is actually from spain so that makes sense and looks that size! He is far too small to be a pharoah hound - his legs are quite short
-
Yes I agree, Podenco Andaluz more likely. Size, color, from Spain.
Here's a picture I found on the internet:

Yes I am Infact from England , and yoda is from Spain.

There are lots of charities in Europe taking care of Spanish dogs, as they are treated pretty badly - especially the hunting breeds (sighthounds), like podenco (comes in all sizes and colors) and galgo (a little smaller than a greyhound).
-
AH I missed that. Then yep, the others are probably right!

Could have some Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican Hairless dog) ???
