He's a Basenji, aka African Barkless Dog. Basenji's a Swahili word that means Bush thing. They're an aboriginal African Bush dog. The first ones came out of Africa in the late 1930's.
The breed's thousands of years old and were pets of the Pharaohs. Rich is eight years old and a retired show champion.
That's a nice looking Basenji. I have a Basenji/sheppard mix that we adopted as a puppy. We named her Soco (southern comfort)..
And I also have a pure breed male Shiba Inu, we named JD (Jack Daniels)..
We carried on the tradition of naming our dogs after liquor from my parents. Works pretty well, but people think that we're alcoholics when we keep calling out for Soco.
