• I would say a little basenji in him however he is DEFINATELY a mix. possibly a pariah dog. im not sure, he sure is an interesting mix. VERY cute tho!


  • either way he's very cute. and if, by chance, he's not a basenji X, I'd think pariah dogs share enough traits with basenjis that you could learn a lot by hanging around and we could learn from you. So, welcome!


  • I think he is absolutely adorable, no matter what he is. IMO he has a little bit of a basenji look, but if I had him I wouldn't care what breed he was. You have obviously found yourself a wonderful companion! Oh, and welcome to the forum! Glad to have you and Tag here!


  • He is a really cute dog, sounds like a basenji mix, has the mannerisms, that last photo of him on the fence if very basenji-like!


  • I agree with Kipawa - he is a lovely boy whatever andf I'm sure whether basenji in him or no you love him just the same!!

    Without seeing him in the flesh I wouldn't like to give an opinion whether there is Basenji in him.

    Welcome to the forum.


  • I think you must have a mix there, he has the waistline, larger breast bone, some wrinkles on the forehead, some curl to tail, size, I don't think full-blooded though b/c he lacks a white tip tail, and the brown color, but he is very loving looking, and my B sleeps like him also. Whatever, I would treat him like a Basenji since he has alot of the mannerisms. Sweet!


  • Whoever and whatever he is, he is adorable - he does sleep like a basenji, and he's welcome, as are you, to the forum.


  • Yeah I've been doing some research on the Pariah dog and I do see the similarities but the weight is completely off…. He's 21lbs pariah dogs are 45-60lbs.

  • First Basenji's

    @Tagaroo:

    Here is my little pup. I love him very much and he is my best friend.

    Info:
    Tag, Now at 1.5 years old
    Male @ 21lbs
    Got him from the Atlanta Humane Society
    -They said he was a German Shepherd
    All muscle
    Very Fast
    Loving
    He has a single loop tale
    Short Fur, no shedding
    No Bark, but yodel.
    Wrinkle in the forehead
    Basic behavioral patterns that match a pure bread basenji.

    Weird thing is that he has all brown fur. LMK what you guys think.

    Mischievous as they are.

    looks like a croos but he is so cute….


  • A cute mix…but I do see some b in him!


  • I believe i see some B in him.. he's so adorable Love the pic with him looking at u from the side and also the one with him sitting like he's waiting for a cookie .. 🙂


  • That's a definite Basenji pose!!! very cute!


  • The yodel would indicate basenji in there for sure, lol but wow that is one incredibly cute dog! Bless you for rescuing.


  • So many of those poses and positions are the same things I see Paco do. I'm also no expert, and Paco's my first dog that's mine-all-mine for me to watch all the time, but I feel like Tag's face is very Basenji-like…and if he yodels as well...

    if he doesn't have Basenji in him, I'd at least say you could describe him to others as a Basenji-like dog.
