so cute! especially love the b&w of the 3 of you!

I am not quite sure about his mix, with the longer body. I think his tail may have been broken near the base early on but…

Here are a few pics.

Thanks for the quick reply! I am really up in the air on the mix. His body seems a touch long and the tail doesn't have the tight curl but it has a good curve and goes straight when he runs. After looking at everyone's pics and video and descriptions, whatever the mix, he is basenji-dominant. :)

He definitely picked me at the rescue where I adopted him. He was listed as the one with fox ears. Most people just comment on how elegant and noble he looks. Now I want another one! What a great breed!

Hi there. I was rescued by my (I think) Basenji-mix, Copper, in March. He is about 1-year old now (the vet thinks). After some comments at the pet store and doing more research, I am pretty certain he is mostly Basenji. He definitely has the behavior traits!

As I learn more about Basenji's, I am more in love with them! If/when my housing situation permits, Copper will get a new friend. Until then, we enjoy our jog/walks, the dog park, daycare and just running the B-500 at home.

So happy to have found you all. I hope to get an album of my distract-o-pup up soon.

Hello all,

I adopted Copper a few months ago. The rescue said they thought he was a Corgi-terrier mix. After a few conversations and some research, I am thinking more a Basenji mix (not sure about the mix part). His behavior certainly fits the Basenji descriptions (no Corgi herding instinct whatsoever). His tail doesn't have the tight curl. His face seems to fit too. He has the wrinkles and the ears.

He does bark sometimes otherwise is very quiet with a strange yodel-whine when he is on time-out.

I think he's a great dog and am lucky to have him.

I am looking for some opinions from people who have more experience with Basenji's.

Thanks in advance for your help.
