I used Wisdom Panel for my assumed Basenji mix. It showed no basenji at all. My boy is 32 lbs and short hair. His DNA says he is 25% American Eskimo 12.5% Boston Terrier 12.5% Chow Chow 12.5% German Shepherd 12.5% Miniature Schnauzer 25% Breed Group-Sporting, Herding, Hound, Terrier. Having owned basenjis all my life I would say my boy has basenji in him by his personality and behavior regardless of what his dna says!!
Am I a Basenji Mix?

Hi,
I just rescued her from a shelter and she's a 6-month-old puppy.
The shelter said she's a mini Pinscher mix, but I see more of Chihuahua and part Basenji.
She's timid, doesn't bark yet (who knows), but very energetic when she feels comfortable.
She's on the smaller side (about 10 lbs but think she will grow.)
I am going to get a DNA kit to tell what mix she is but just wanted to ask here.
Her name's Boree and I am already in love with her.! -
She looks to be an absolute little darling, but honestly I don't see any Basenji in there at all. But in case there is - welcome to the Forum !

I don't see Basenji, or Min Pin, or much Chihuahua... I almost want to suggest that she might be part-shepard. Based on the size of her paws, she could weigh in around 20-25 pounds when she's grown. But that's all just guesses. Please let us know what the DNA results reveal! (I always love that part!)

I don’t think you are, dang it and I want ALL the dogs to be Basenji! Still… great looking pup. Get a DNA test. If that pup has ANY Basenji in it, I’ll send you a beer.
