I used Wisdom Panel for my assumed Basenji mix. It showed no basenji at all. My boy is 32 lbs and short hair. His DNA says he is 25% American Eskimo 12.5% Boston Terrier 12.5% Chow Chow 12.5% German Shepherd 12.5% Miniature Schnauzer 25% Breed Group-Sporting, Herding, Hound, Terrier. Having owned basenjis all my life I would say my boy has basenji in him by his personality and behavior regardless of what his dna says!!
Dude the basenji - Updated

Here is puppy boy Dudes photo album, born on Christmas day 2008.
He is my first basenji and is the best pup ever!
He has graduated puppy school at 15 weeks and will start basic obedience soon. We are having so much fun with him, and he is such a fast learner. At 14 weeks he had learned a bunch of tricks: stand, sit, high five, lay down, crawl and roll-over along with some basic manners. We are very excited for school to start again in a few weeks.

Here are a few more pics, We took a weekend trip to visit some friends in Kirkland, WA and Dude met a new friend: Italian Greyhound - Pica
They had a blast together, it was hard to get any pics as they wouldnt stop playing and running all weekend.
We start basic obedience classes this week and had our first handling class last week, more pictures to come!
Also, If anyone wants to get together for some play or hiking around the Portland metro area let us know!
