My Basenjis are 6 and 3. We live in Florida and I usually run with them 1-2, sometimes 3 miles. My run is still just a trot for them, but I let them stop and sniff and potty whenever they need/want, and I just do squats while they do it :). On the 3-milers, I am sure to bring water or let them stop and drink at the beach which is the turn around point. I also wet them down before hand.
Basenji Mix ?

Hi guys, we adopted Noel from animal shelter in Portugal 3 months ago. At first we suspected it was a Podenco mix but now we think it could be a Basenji mix as well. Mainly because of the curled-up tail, he trots like a horse and he is very clean and hardly smells like a dog. I would be interested in what you think! Thanks!
-
Maybe in addition. He can bark normally but also does kind of the typical Basenji yodelling sometimes, but mostly at home
-
How tall is he and what does he weigh? Would like to see a side view standing....
The only sure way to know is a DNA test. Nice looking dog!
"In order to get along with a Basenji, you have to be at least half as smart as the dog!"

@eeeefarm Thanks
He is like 15,748 Inces (40cm) and like 26 Pounds (12kg)
He walks often like he owns the park
We will try a dna test as well
-
Height and weight would fit. Not as square as a Basenji, but the picture of him trotting is suggestive to me. Certainly possible. Always hard to tell with mixed breed dogs. DNA tests sometimes spit out surprising results!
-
@eeeefarm Thank you for your opinion. I'll write again when we have the result of the DNA test
-
He's a handsome fella regardless, though I see some B in there!
-
Looks can be so deceiving- regardless he is beautiful and lucky to have found a happy home. The only way to know for sure I’d a DNA test.

@Kembe 1 hardly any podengo dna on file and honestly the guess your breed tests are just that. Phot in field looks more podengo Close up basenji. Enjoy your dog. Fyi I raised basenjis since 1982 and Podengo grande since 2007
