She would appear to be MOSTLY Basenji - but appearances can be deceptive. I should play safe - treat her as a Basenji and I don't think you will be disappointed (or surprised !)

@krazytoo100 Thank you so much! and the white tip on the tail.
One thing I noticed about her, she is so into food!
and when we are out walking, her nose is constantly to the ground sniffing. I'm wondering though, if that's just because she was a stray and had to fend for herself. Bless her heart. -

@thepugsmuggler She is a little over a year we think.
I have to see everyone's pics of their B's!
I can't wait! -

There was always some bone of contension - are Basenjis scent hounds or sight hounds ? Over here they used to be permitted to compete in both categories. Don't know if that is still the case cos am so far away from the showing scene these days.
I know mine quarter the ground properly like scent hounds, have done for generations. Chezz used to be particularly good at that. (Grandmother of the current two.) Squirrels used to be Mom Trouble's favourite prey but Ziggy also caught quite a few in her prime. Rabbits too.
Certainly it is no cause for worry or alarm. Rest assured - it is perfectly normal Basenji behaviour

She looks basenji to me. DNA test would help. She is lovely. :)

Are the DNA tests expensive? I would love to have her tested.
From all the pictures of Basenji's that I've seen, and so many of the behavior characteristics I've read about match hers, I think she has some degree of Basenji.
Her facial structure isn't as 'pointy' as the ones I've seen - Stella has a more pronounced jawline, and she appears a bit taller than most I've seen too.
I'm so happy to have her as part of our family!
Thanks everyone! -

Most run around $100. The Wisdom Panel Health is very comprehensive, but if you just want breed info, the 4.0 is great.
