Hey okay so this is wild but I figured I wanted to reach out! So I rescued my pup and his siblings from Puerto Rico after hurricane Maria and we have always wondered his breed. We know his mom is a chihuahua mix but it wasn’t until today that I realized he might be mixed with Basenji. I came across your post because we were trying to see if Basenji’s were even in PR. Do you know what city your little guy was picked up in?
Basenjis sleep in the strangest positions

Oh the legs can give you a bit of a fright sometimes! He was lying next to me last night and it looked as if he had a spare foot coming out of his back knee bit!

Great pictures they do sleep strange I wonder sometimes if there neck hurts when they wake up. Your correct how many legs do you see? My kids say "let it all hang out" when they sleep on back with belly out in the open.

Ella almost always sleeps curled up in a tight light ball, which we call a "button." We always remark on how flexible she is and joke about how we are going to start sleeping with our chins tucked behind our shins, or our noses behind our knees. I don't know if she is sore when she wakes up, but she must be stiff because she does a back-arching compression stretch and a full-body-all-four-limbs-at-once stretch when she wakes up.

That's the same thing Kananga does. He almost always sleeps that way. The stretching is entertaining for some reason.

I love watching them stretch when they wake up… in fact I wish I could stretch like they do...

When Otis does a downward dog he puts most avid yoga doers to shame, or so it looks..I so wish I had that flexibilty.

Haha! Funny stuff. Sometimes Denver feels the need to tromp all over Trinity….

Isn't that the truth! My Bs roll over and over on the floor, then scoot along on their tummy on the carpet, and stretch so big.

I call Congo my Yoga dog because he will sleep in the recliner on his head-I will post a picture of it sometime and I agree on the the downward dog thing. I wish I could do that!

So do Akitas. This is Mishka, our 95-pound, 18-months old baby:
