Hi all!
In May 2022 we adopted an almost 2 yo dog from a shelter. They thought he was Corgi/Jack Russell mix.

When I woke up with in the middle of the night to an "air raid siren" I started researching Basenjis. Most of him fits

I look forward to discussing this further in this forum.

Are there any other breeds that yodel like a Basenji? My dog supposedly has no B genes but he sounds exactly like this:

Thanks for the reply. He obviously is not pure Basenji, but I think a big "chunk" of him must be!
I looked on YouTube and found Basenji sounds, Mojo (my dog) sounds exactly like them. Do other dogs make these sounds?
He also has the spots on his skin. Do other breeds have them?

Thank you for the welcome and compliment! People often tell me how cute he is!

We were told he might be a Corgi/JRT mix, but so much of him fits Basenji. Here is what I'm thinking:

Pros:
He has that "air raid siren" yodel
He talks to me making all kinds of interesting sounds
He licks clean his face and paws
He doesn't have a dog smell
He has forehead wrinkles
He is very smart
He is very muscular (the vet even commented on how muscular he is)
He bonded quickly with my husband and me, but everyone else is suspect and is not allowed to approach him
He has dark spots on his skin under his fur
Ears are erect
Chases animals, small and deer
Doesn't like other dogs
His tail curls up over his back

Cons:
The shape of his face is wrong
He is a little small for a Basenji, 20lbs,15"
His legs aren't particularly long
The copper brown color on his torso is broken with white.

I'm happy to hear any comments!
