I found this graphic on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Dog Genome Project, showing Baseji's as the oldest breed. First really scientific evidence I've encountered besides a short clip on a Nova episode, Dog Tales.

Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).
