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!!
Is my dog a Basenji Mix?

So I adopted my boy right before Christmas this year and absolutely love him but up until recently had no clue what mix he is. While at the dog park this week someone suggested Basenji. Once I looked it up I couldn't believe the resembles. We had been thinking boarder collie/rat terrier mix before hand. Since he seems to have some major herding instincts. Just wanted to get other opinions from those more familiar with the breed!!

@okimelman - I would agree that there is Basenji there.....

Looks like a basenji mix to me. What kind of sounds does he make? He's cute btw.

@DebraDownSouth He's generally extremely quiet but he does yap(more like a small dog bark) at certain individuals.
