I would love as much information on this as possible, too! I will be flying my dog home from Africa to the US next year. I will probably be using AirFrance.
Is she a basenji mix
-
She does bark, Usullay when excited.not for long though. Cudly, sniffs around alot when outside. She most definitely gets a scent from possible deer, fox,rabbit and gets excoted sniffing. Loves having her toy,ball tossed for her to jump to catch. Chews. She shows attachment to us, sad when we leave for work.

Sadie is also very strong

You might compare her to a boxer mix, they have that coloring and if the tail isn't docked it curves over the back, I have one that is part boxer and maybe basenji, mine has got the white like yours but is brindle instead of the brown, also weighs 50 lbs. very loving and very playful loves balls. So you might want to check it out.

If I just look at her body it suggests Basenji. How tall is she? Not square enough and of course the head and ears aren't right, but a mix, possibly.
-
IMO, there's a basenji back in her family - but something bigger too. She definitely has a basenji's eyes.
Not smelling like a 'dog' when wet is a basenji trait. If she smells like a dog, it does not mean there is no basenji in her, just that if she has that trait, it can be put in the 'basenji in background' column. -
I am perhaps in the minority but in almost 40 years of breeding and living with Basenjis, I have yet to have one play 'catch' with a ball. Other dogs find them in the woods by the hundreds and carry them in their mouths, often to the disgust of their owners if they are particularly dirty (and therefore desirable).
My pack - never a one.
The color and the white feet and tail tip are the only 'basenji' features that I can see in this lovely doggie. Nothing else screams 'BASENJI' at me.
However, if it really matters to your enjoyment of such a super pet, you can always get a DNA test. Do let us know the results !

@xyz123 I think the second picture shows a number of Basenji traits. Her paws, eye color, fur and markings... I'd gamble a Basenji Mix... No clue what she's mixed with. If you decide to do a DNA, please be sure to share the results with us.

I have no idea what she is, but I am sitting here with a smile on my face looking at her pictures. She is a cutie! Enjoy your life with her.

Yes, Sadie is a great part of the family. We have the curious as to what breeds made this "perfect" dog!!
