Now I look again Portuguese Podengo could well be in there to a large extent. Lovely feisty little dogs. One smooth one I know quite well is very similar in size to a Basenji but shorter in the leg
Roxy - Basenji x Border Collie (allegedly).

Yes, technically she barks, though it's not actually a bark, it's more of a mid range seal-like sound! In saying that, she makes all sorts of unusual noises when the fancy takes her!
She weighs 12 kilos.
That's Basenji size at 26lbs. My first was some kind of mix too. Large curly tail and thick fur. Never barked. Heck of a watch dog though. Very protective and tough. She minded really well! She was given to me at 6 months old and lived to be 17-1/2.

Wow, Dan. She is gorgeous and sounded like a fantastic dog.
Very similar to Roxy in many ways, looks-wise. However, Roxy is one of the softest dogs I have ever met. She would lick burglers to death, not before requesting a tummy tickle! :rolleyes: -
Roxy is goegeous, what a great mix. I love her tail..she looks very friendly..

The yard ran all the way around. When I saw him the next day I asked how he liked it and he said he couldn't get in the yard because of the dog.
Good job Nipper!! -

Hi-
I'm considering adapting a Basenji, Border Collie mix, but I really dont want a dog that sheds a lot. Can you telling me a little bit about what you're seeing in your dog, like what ccharacteristics from each breed you're seeing?Thanks
