@Nancy-Berry that is so funny I often described him as a horse and his smooth trot reminds me of a Tennessee Walking Horse

Lol that's funny!
Jax lays like you describe all the time.
And I notice if he doesn't sit with a leg cocked to one side his little bum doesn't touch the ground; something I also find adorable.
I had no idea. I look forward to reading more about basenji "dogs" lol

Thank you!
So the way he likes to get on chairs and tables is a basenji thing? And the princely sit- he always looks so regal- that's a basenji thing?
Makes me wonder if his beautiful show-dog-walk is a basenji thing too.

I'll have to double check his weight. I think he's about 30lbs. He ls very solid, but he's very light-footed.
I love his personality. The way his curled tail wags in happiness is hilarious too

I must have done something wrong. ..
Lemme try the pics again.

And him acting like cat-dog

He's not very vocal, but we have two very vocal German shepherd dogs so when the leader gets going he'll bark with her but it sounds odd, sort of strained

I got my boy for valentine's day last year so he's just over a year now.
Im very curious what he's mixed with- his jaw and chest are so muscular. We were told that he was a Bernese Mountain Dog/German Shepherd mix when we got him. Lol CLEARLY he is not.
 
And one from when we got him
