Could be a mix. I would like to see a side shot. How tall and what is the weight? Barks, or not?

O. K. so within expected parameters for a Basenji. Only DNA testing will tell you for sure, but certainly big for a Chihuahua. It would be interesting to know more about his mannerisms.

@eeeefarm he is very affectionate and mellow. Fist one to bed, last one up. He doesn’t bark but foster has never heard him howl or yodel either.

First one to bed, last one up, would describe several of my Basenjis! ;-)

@aprilmaymac That is definitely a Basenji pose. He sure looks like a Basenji mix to me. My Basenji mix is also the first one to bed and the last one up. Enjoy, they are uniquely wonderful dogs.

Chihuahua/Basenji Mix... maybe?
The coloring and marks are familiar to the Basenji...
The size, stature, and facial structure all relate to Chihuahua...If you decide to do a DNA test, please let us know!

I agree with elbrant. The head is wrong for a Basenji but not quite right (though closer) for a Chihuahua. Whatever he is - just love him for himself !

Otis looks extremely cute and loveable. Siz and weight are within Basenji Parameters. The pose that others post are Basenji like are a standard play bow exhibited by dogs of all varieties so not really indicative. You're naturally curious but when it comes down to it I'm sure DNA results will not make an iota of difference in your love for Otis..

@patty you are so right that DNA won’t matter! We have a play date tomorrow morning so I will get some better images and hopefully a video of his voice. If all goes as planned his crate and bed and toys are ready!!!

Click on the icon second from the right at the top of the compose screen (you need to be in "reply", not quick reply) and you should be able to upload a picture. If it is too large you might have to downsize it first. Any graphics app should do that for you.

@creambasenji Please start a new topic/thread in Member Introductions when you upload an image of your "cream" basenji. That way, more people will see it. (thanks!)
