Yes!! Bowpi loves to "box" when she gets excited. But she doesn't have much follow-through. It's adorable. I'm not quite sure what she's thinking. I take it as an expression of her excitement and desire to be involved. She usually starts boxing when our Shiba tries to roughhouse with her, or when the Shiba is roughhousing with other humans – and she inserts herself into the mix.
Is this a Basenji?

My friend adopted a pup from a family that thought it was a shiba inu, but it's not fluffy at all.
We had never heard of the Basenji until someone mentioned it, so I know nothing about them.She's about five months, probably 18" tall and a little under twenty pounds.
She's extremely energetic, but can show surprising control especially on command.
She also has a straight tail and barks, a relatively regularly bark.
She also makes a weird high pitch sound when super engaged with certain toys.She looks like the GIS pictures of a Basenji to me, except for that tail. I was hoping maybe a more experience eye could rule it out or confirm it.

Possible... but very cute... there are many mixes that have "hound" traits

The ears and the sitting posture looks like a Basenji....but the eyes don't seem to have that intense stare that says "I'm the boss, you just don't know it yet..." So cute give her a hug for me.

She is a adorable - does look part Basenji to me.

@weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.
