@b5004ever - Black muzzle is not uncommon in Basenjis, it is referred to as "masking". It fades as the pup ages. Usually found in bloodlines that carry the "Tri" gene. That said, look closely at the heads on those dogs. Compare to the heads found on the illustrated standard at www.basenji.org (https://www.basenjihe.org/BasenjiU/Judge/Study/Illustrated-Standard-2012.pdf). There are some unanswered questions if a sire was used that was known to come from a person in the West that crossed Basenjis with Fox Terriers

Is anyone familiar with a breeder from the Ava or Summersville area in Missouri? We bought a dog from him and his wife in '98 or '99. He was known as Mac. I heard his wife had died but I was wondering if he still has basenjis.

MacFarland of Ronel basenjis. I haven't seen any Ronel dogs in the ring, but that doesn't mean a whole lot.
I dont know if he's still in the basenji world. You might want to start here:
