I know his mother is Lab and Heeler, but the father is unknown.
OMG! What a face!!! I love him!!!
There could be some Basenji!! That curled tail is classic!
Have the vet weigh in because he/she can see what I can't like the hips, jaws, and teeth!!
Post back what you learn!! 100% Heinz 57 adorable in my book!! Wishing you many blessings and adventures together!
I personally think after pulling up photos of the mix breed of Lab & Basenji, I truly believe that your assumption may be correct. Of course you will not know for sure , without DNA.
The present parents may be lab and Basenji but I believe there are other breeds in his past.
He seems to have more Basenji - smooth coat, sharp stand up ears, long smooth nose, curled tail than a lab - in fact I see very little lab but some of that may show up later in his build, height and weight.

Certainly a beautiful dog.
A vet can tell a little more as they can see the face, build, height and weight but only a DNA test will tell you what mixed breeds he has in his background. Some people like having a DNA test as the results give a lot of details about what to expect health wise as your dog gets older.
The most important thing you can do for your pup is to be sure he has all of his shots/vaccinations as these are crucial to his good health.

This is a beautiful dog and you are so lucky to have him. I can see some Basenji in the dog which seems to be more noticeable than the lab in the dog. I do believe the father was a mixed breed and there could be a few other breeds in the dog beside the lab and basenji.
Hi,
Thank you so much for sharing your sweet darling pet! I do see Basenji in him. I remember when we were helping to find a home for another Basenji and this one looks just like him. Does he bark or howl?
Give him a hug from me!
Have a blessed day!
Chloe is a Jack Russell and Lab mix. Delilah is a Beagle and Lab mix. Both are two. They were strays left on side of road that I picked up. Both were starving.
This is a picture of Daisy who turned 8 weeks old yesterday, we think. Daisy's mom was a yellow Lab and I am not sure about her dad, either a Rottie or Dobbie. I rescued this little cutie from a local rescue place, she was a Christmas gift to my husband. Jan 2, 2002 my husband's dog had died tragically at the age of 4 and I felt like he was ready for another baby. When I went to see the puppies, she had 8 brothers and sisters, she ran up to me and sat there looking at me, it was instant love.
Solo and Romeo are a little over three years old and are a Lab Mix. A few years ago, I adopted them from a co-worker moving out of state.
I rescued her 1 month ago. Lela loves it when we go on long hikes, usually 4 miles or more and she also loves going to the river.
This is Spots and Blacks. They're now 10 months old and a Lab/Pit mix. They followed our other dog Leia home from walkies.
Lola Hardy will be 3 on March 30, 2003. She is a Lab/Cattle dog mix. She was adopted from the Paulding Animal Shelter.
Bella is a 7 year old lab mix. We got her through a lab rescue 6 years ago. She likes to go for walks, play with our other dogs, and sleep in the sun.
I had just found out that I had cancer and was laying in bed, at 7:00am when my friend told me that I had a dog in my flower bed. He said it is just a puppy. I found out who owned her. I asked what they were going to do with her? They said that they were going to take her to the pound if no one wanted her.
Walter is a 4 year old Lab/Bull Mastiff. I got Walter at the Humane Society! He seems to be custom made for me as he is all the things I wanted in a dog and more.
