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!!

Dixie went nuts when the b's came on tv…and what a great story about the b's learning sign language. Loved it!

That's absolutely adorable! And people say basenjis are not smart. Bah!

First time i've actually managed to see this film though I'd heard a lot about it -thank you for the link, tlish.
Not true though that they are/were used to hunt lions.
Is it true that they were nearly wiped out in the US in the 80s by Fanconi or is that an exaggeration?
Does anyone know who the Basenjis are? They look some lovely dogs.
