Part pit, IMO. Have the owners come forward about him yet? Or was he lost for good and you got to adopt/rescue him?

What kinds of sounds does he make? He has enough of the look that he could be full.

I agree he is definitely part basenji. Does he bark? My guess is basenji/boxer or basenji/pit depending on the picture and angle you look at him from. Sorry Renee, He's not full basenji. Basenji's ears are naturally up, never down and not half that big. That's where boxer comes in for me. Pits ears aren't quite that big either I don't think. Hmmmm, could be all three.
Puss, I have a basenji if you want to PM me with any questions. Or, you can click B.R.A.T. on my sig for a wealth of information and possibly pictures of other dogs (in the mix section) that loook like Puss (not you of course). For example, http://www.basenjirescue.org//DOGS-M...K/OK-Gypsy.asp

Yes he barks alot really deep and then loud chirps, but it's all show when you get near him even if your a stranger he'll want to play and jump on you. He can jump about 4-5ft in the air. Hes EXTREMELY vengeful if you slap his ear he'll turn around and jump on you for at least 5 minutes. Even if he's playing or doing something else and you touch him he doesn't forget to get you back. He's very fast it's like he floats and if he's mad he rams against the fence to get to the front yard and breaks it all the time I guess it doesn't hurt him. Fun dog

Everything you've described outside of the barking are all basenji traits. Does he trot?
He is quite hansom btw.
