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!!
Do I look like a basenji?

There was a person in Illinois that bred a litter of collie and basenji - a few of them have turned up in the midwest.
Wonder if that is a piece of the answer.
-
I got mine from the wisconsin humane society. He almost died of parvo. I don't know if he had other litter mates and they were already adopted a month before him or if they didn't make it. I forgot to ask that. but they didn't say.
-
Parvo is a tough illness. Glad your baby made it.
-
Where in Wisconsin are you?
-
i am in milwaukee

This would have been some previous litters - but they looked a lot like your guy. Although if you want to see some other dogs that look like your guy. Go to this site.
My other breed - but there are very few of them and doubt any have 'gotten' away.

I have loked at podengos too, however, kody has the same marking under his skin like basenjis do, i don't think podengos have that. unless i am confused. the dog that I have seen closest to him was a wild dog in india.
-
I don't know if basenjis and podengos have the same eyes. but when I look at pics of grande podengos they have the EXACT eye collar and shape as kody, he is also kind of lean and muscular, just like the description, ears, just he has tan spots on the whites of his legs and dark spots on his skin, and I don't think podengos have that, just basenjis.

I think this is the cutest picture of him…:D
-
He looks part Basenji to me, I am not an expert but it is MHO! Very cute!
-
what is MHO?
-
My humble opinion.
-
He sure is cute! I especially like the picture of him with his nose in the tube. Pretty funny. Is that a doggie day care facility? If so, it looks like a neat place.
