I am no expert but I looked at the photo before reading your post and I thought it was one. The classic white shoulders, upright ears, pointed nose and shape of face....I agree a profile view would add but it would not be hard to convince me this dog has some basenji genes.
Questions before I get my Basenji pup!
-
I will only add that if you want your B to sleep in a crate (mine do at least for now), as puppies when I heard them whinning, I did get up and take them out… Unless you do, then you really don't know if they do have to potty. I honestly do not believe (unless by accident) that they can hold it all night (8 to 10 hours).... So I would take them out, but then immediately return them to the crate. Then if they continued to complain, I would ignore them. Of course that said, the crates are in the bedroom so I pretty much know when there is a problem.

I didn't have him in a crate. I had him in a portable pen in another room to sleep, but he has been perfect on pottying outside so I let him sleep with me last night and he slept all night and then pottied right when I took him out this morning!

Pen/crate same thing really…. however don't be surprised for set backs....but most will sleep through the night when you let them sleep in bed...:)

The test has only been in existence for 4 yrs, before that, none of us knew whether our dogs were carriers or not.
Thats right,.. I keep forgeting that that was so recently…..

She is very mellow easygoing, she loves contact and must be with me or my girlfriend always. She is crazy smart and sweet also … She can do a few tricks... If there is food... If SHE wants to. And she is starting to howl when we come home after she is done going nuts, n her ears stay folded back from excitement. I have a few pix up on a thread called Athena has arrived, and when I get others re sized I'll put them here
