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!!

I agree it's part of the allure to them, they don't just accept every person they meet, but must get to know you. It's like you have to earn their respect, and part of there charm is they are not perfect little animals. They can bring great amounts of anger, misstrust, fear, embarassment, humor & above all love from human owners.
Why do my dogs allways insist on pooping at the worst times, like when a crazy dog is in some ones house- going crazy at the window or in front of a group of people. One time they went potty in front of a crazy dog in a house that was on the second floor, the dog blew the whole screen out of the frame!
Next thing you hear lady screaming at the dog!
