Does she look like a Basenji?


  • On PF anything that has a couple of wrinkles is called a shar pei or shar pei mix. I belong to a few shar pei rescue groups and while I'm certainly not an expert, it might be a basenji…
    What do you think?

  • Yes, it looks like a Basenji or basenji mix for sure.


  • looks like some basenji or other primitive type dog in there (caanan dog)


  • That muzzle is more shar pei, but other than that, sure looks very basenji-like.


  • Looks like part B to me! I'm looking at the tail and it does seem to curl, but the legs?? Maybe a herding dog? The muzzle is a bit rounded too.


  • Thank you for opinions!
    I don't think she is in any danger in the sanctuary but probably it would be nice to let them know that she might be a basenji - more chances to get adopted.
    And there's absolutely nothing from a shar pei in her!

    Dear Debra, Thanks for the notes and looking up options nearby. We had already written to the Swiss basenji email address, but didn't get a response. We'd be willing to take him to nearby countries in Europe for the right fit. Perhaps now we will try writing to the other countries' basenji groups. He is such a lovely dog, and we want a good situation for him. He has come a long way and is much calmer now that he's a bit older! Cheers

    Have you had any success with finding out any rescue/adoption information? I am in a similar situation.

    Figula as you live in Peterborough just to let you know that it is our club show on 28th March (Sunday) We are the Basenji Owners and Breeders Association and you are very welcome to come along. If you come at about midday, you could have lunch with some Basenji people and say hallo to us and our dogs. The venue is Alconbury Village Hall. If you're interested I can send you details.

    Thank you MacPac. I contacted 2 breeders in the Gainesville-Ocala area but they don't have any available at the moment. We'll keep looking. Thank you everyone for the great suggestions :)
