Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

A treasure trove of great info. Thank you

Very interesting to read the history of the breed. I was surprised to read of the guy who tried to rehome his basenji and no matter where he placed it, it found its way home - we live in fear if ours got out, they'd never come home -

Thank you so much for the link - I hadn't got so much information about the Basenji in the USA.

I'm ashamed to say, Pat, that I hadn't looked much at the BCOA website. As soon as posssible I'll visit there for a more studied look.
