Nice, they are about in a few different adverts, I spot them every now and again.
Basenji mix.... But what mix!
-
Whatever his DNA says, he certainly is cute and has definitely won over your hearts. Enjoy your little boy for many year to come.
-
I don't see any Basenji there at all - but he is a lovely looking dog. I am sure the people who suggested 'Basenji' to you were only going on the tail !
He is lucky to have met you, and vice versa. If it is important to you, get a DNA test and me might all be very surprised. Cherish him -

Thanks everyone!! We plan on doing a DNA test soon. Really curious about his curly tail!

There are many dogs that have a tail curl, example are Akita, Malamute, Husky, etc

@shanellio19
You’ll have to post his DNA results on the Forum when you have it done. It will be interesting to find out his genetic make-up. -
@tanza very True!!!
-
@kembe yes I definitely will. Been doing some research and jindo is on my guess list. Will post results in a few weeks!
-
So the original shelter was wrong! Here are Chester's results for those who are interested. He is a super asian mutt!

This post is deleted! -
WOW! That's some ancestral line!

@shanellio19
“Wow! What a mix!” Lol! Thanks for posting his results. He has very interesting genetic make-up. (Curly tail must be from the Hokkaido Inu or Akita Inu). -
So cool! Honestly those are some very primitive breeds so you'll probably see a lot of basenji-like traits and behaviors like prey drive. My friends with ridgebacks and akitas seem to a have a lot in common with us basenjis. You'll have a blast with him, cheers!

@aprilk yea definitely! Thanks for being welcoming to a non-,basenji super mix everyone!!
