Benji name or breed of dog?

It was the name of a dog in some movies years ago.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071206/

Benji (I believe there were several over the years) was played by various terrier-type mixed breeds. Many people still refer to any brownish, unidentifiable mutt dogs as "Benji dogs" because it usually brings to mind what he looked like and helps describe and otherwise indescribable mixed breed.

Name of a dog from a series of movies. The dog was a mixed breed. There is a breed called a Basenji however, completely unrelated to Benji but sounds a bit similar maybe that's why you are confused.

Benji is the name of the dog. The dog was a mutt, and an adorable one at that.

ADD: Agree with the person below me. You might be thinking about a breed of dog called a Basenji.
