Thank you for your response. Flynn answered a tall order. He gets along with my Odin (Anatolian Shepherd mix), neighbor’s dog and kids. Honestly, we adore him and it wouldn’t matter what breed he was since his disposition is a perfect match. I appreciate your comment.

Upon research, I came upon the basenji breed. Our boy, Flynn, is very quiet. He only makes noises when my other dog is excited and barking. Flynn has barked on two occasions, both as a single bark, and I have heard him howl. I had read about basenjis being paper shredders so invited Flynn into the bathroom with me. He immediately grabbed the end of the toilet paper and ran. To me, he’s got the exact markings, but his head appears narrower in the jaw and the muzzle is longer and thinner. What do you think? !

Hello, just joined yesterday to get some thoughts on my new boy, Flynn. He’s 27 pounds at almost 6 months, so I know larger than a basenji. He does display some typical behaviors though. I’ve enjoyed reading about and looking at your beautiful dogs!

Good fit is the best. Good luck to you and your beautiful girl.

His tail is mostly swordlike, but bends up at the half way mark when he’s interested in something. I’ll be watching him when he barks to see about the mouth being open or shut.
