The question about the doggy smell is a good one - basenjis do not smell like dogs. If you stick your face right into their fur the comparison is like sticking your face into a nice clean healthy cat - warm and not really a discernable smell. Except their feet. Their feet smell like Fritos sort of.
Basenji and chow
-
Here is a picture of my sister's silver/black chow and a basenji they encountered at a walk on the beach. My sis said the basenji was just as aloof as her chow, but it kept on looking back to see where his family was. This beach is interesting as almost all of the dogs that go there are purebreds. Unfortunately, my sis did not talk to the basenji's owners - it would have been great to know who his breeders were.

Your sisters Chow is lovely, whats s/he called ?
-
Her name is Beatrice (not sure of her pedigree name). We also call her 'Miss Poo' because she acts like her poo doesn't stink - she is a real princess!
