So many times people post pictures and ask what folks on the forum think about their dogs. Often, the most convincing in appearance turn out disappointingly to not have any Basenji blood. When you think about it, there are not likely all that many crossbreds out there. Most people with an intact Basenji bitch are not looking to cover her with anything but a purebred male, and in North America generally females are spayed because most breeders require it for pet puppies. Bitches that are showing are even less likely to be bred to something outside the breed.
Basenji and chow

Here is a picture of my sister's silver/black chow and a basenji they encountered at a walk on the beach. My sis said the basenji was just as aloof as her chow, but it kept on looking back to see where his family was. This beach is interesting as almost all of the dogs that go there are purebreds. Unfortunately, my sis did not talk to the basenji's owners - it would have been great to know who his breeders were.

Your sisters Chow is lovely, whats s/he called ?

Her name is Beatrice (not sure of her pedigree name). We also call her 'Miss Poo' because she acts like her poo doesn't stink - she is a real princess!
