I used to hike frequently with mine, and considered getting them backpacks so they could haul some of their own water. However, when I did research, the recommendation was not to give them more than 10% of their weight to carry, which would be less than 2 lbs each for my girls. I decided I could carry that 3.5 pounds of water myself quite easily.
So I don't have any recommendations, but if all he is carrying is mail, I think any of them would be fine.
Raw chicken/meat

So I have been looking at feeding my Basenji raw meat. I can get hold of whole raw chicken cheap. My question is, can they have raw bones. I've read in some places they can't and others they can. I know they cannot have cooked bones as these splinter and can cause damage to the insides.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

@viknkrish Raw bones are fine

Thank you @tanza for your reply.

Yes, they could but sometimes it would depend on your dog if they want raw. In my case, they don't so I have to bake it for 15-20 minutes.

Just make sure that you don't have any bones in the "cooked chicken" when you give it to them. The bones become brittle when cooked and that creates a serious danger that can ultimately kill your dog.

Cooked chicken bones splinter. I would be very careful about baking them for any length of time.
