She is not a barker but does make noises kind of like purring sounds. I have heard her bark once or twice so I know she has a voice but it is very rare to hear it. She is extremely playful, alert and demanding she likes to bite/ chew everything and loves to find socks and bring them to us. She is smart and quick and a good jumper. She loves climbing on furniture. She cleans herself all the time (almost cat like). But I think her size and weight are already what a full grown basenji would be but she is only 5 months old.
I know she is not pure bred by any means but I do see some basenji in her.

Any guesses as to what she may be?

Here are some better pictures of our new shelter dog that we think may have some basenji in her. Thank you for letting me share. I tried capturing some of the wrinkles on her face but the camera washes them out.

I live in S Florida in the Ft lauderdale area.

Hi I am new here as well and also live in Florida. Here is my new 5 month old pup Dakota. Your 2 dogs are adorable.

Hi:
We just adopted little Dakota she is about 5 months old and we were originally told she was a Sheppard lab mix. I think they have it all wrong. I think she is part basenji and then maybe a bit Sheppard. She has the white sox’s and white tipped tail. She has the wrinkled forehead (my pics do not show this well). We live in S Florida I have a DD 3 yrs old and expecting another girl January 2nd. Here is one picture the rest were posted on the other thread. I need to get some better ones.

Hi All:

We just got a new puppy from the pound they told us they thought she was a Shepard/Lab mix but I think she is a Basenji mix do not know with what could be shepard. So tell me Do you think my new baby girl is Basenji? And what do you think she is mixed with? She is about 5 months old (just started loosing her canine teeth) Has the typical white chest white feet but not the white tip on the tail. She also has the wrincled forehead. It is my first time on a forum like this one so I will see if I can attach a picture.
OK figured out the picture thing here is the edit.
