Wow, what a beautiful friend you have there. I would love to know exactly what breed he is.
-
super cute! his ears remind me of a hyena's - kind of rounded triangles. does he have a tail at all - i can't find it in the first picture!
-
What a gorgeous looking dog! Would love to see more pictures!
Welcome to the forum!
-
He looks a lot like Dolce and acts just like her too.
-
Welcome and thanks for the pictures. Is he an Avuvi?
-
Welcome! He's so handsome!
-
Welcome, he's lovely. I think we need to see more pics
-
Well hello there, beautiful dog! What's his name? I like the shape of his ears.
that was my exact thought - those lovely, lovely ears.
More pics, please! -
Wow, he is a beautiful dog! His tail is long and straight, so not a basenji trait, but his face looking through the banister is very basenji - whatever he is, he certainly is unique!
-
I have never heard of an Avuvi until I read it above. I looked it up and was surprised that there was one at the dog park in Marietta, Ga last week. He thought it was a basenji mix since it had a straight up, pointed tail. Next time I see him, I will suggest researching Avuvi. Captmidight, are you still in Northern VA?

I had never heard of an Avuvi until now. He is a local dog from my village which was about 35 miles west from the Ghana Border. I would not be surprised that they are similar. I will try to post some more photos of him later.
Btw, his name is Whala. If anyone is considering an African name for a Basenji puppy, I would recommend Kikuyu (Ki Coo You). Its the Hausa word for puppy.

Great dog!
As far as I know the "typical" dogs in Togo are a breed called Hahoawu.
Congrats -
The description of the hahowu sounds similar to the basenji but with the straighter tail and without the basenji wrinkles. They also yodel instead of bark and come from Togo.
-
Wow he is so pretty..I love his picture through the banister.
Thank you so much for sharing. -
Yes, please, more photos. Does your dog bark??
-
Welcome! Does he love stealing sun rays?
He's adorable…
