I tried to post other photos earlier but they were all either too large or not an accepted format. This is attempt number two!

Help! Is my boy a Basenji?
Here are some pictures of my boy. I adopted him a little over a year ago and was told he is a corgi mix, but I'm starting to wonder if that's true. Here's some of the reasons why I think so. He's about 25 lbs, short little legs, a tail that curls up in the air and he holds high most of the time (not curly-q like a basenji though) and has a ton of loose skin around his neck. He hunts by sight, and will stalk his prey. He does bark, but he also "aroos" or talks to me. He's very elegant and deer like (good posture and doe-y almond shaped eyes). He's very independent (refuses to sleep in bed with me) and loves being around kids and being outside. I suspect that he might be a dachshund, basenji, and border collie mix since he is most definitely a herding dog (he chases all the bigger dogs at the dog park), and he's longer than he is tall like a dachshund. Since no one knows basenjis more than their owners, I thought I would take a poll on here and see what people think. Please help, he's a great dog and I would love to get another one like him to keep him company!
