I don't know what mix of breeds he is, or even is Joe Camp knows. He is a rescued mutt from a shelter, just like the original.

Benji was adopted from the shelter in Gulfport Mississippi and was found on the streets, so no one knows for sure. She has some spaniel in her, as well as terrier, but the rest is a mystery.

Technically, he is a she, and she's a mutt. (She looks almost just like a shaggier version of my dog, and he's cocker spaniel - bichon frise.)

He's a mixed breed. But, as far as pure breeds go, he looks more like a Tibetan terrier than anything else.

I believe that Benji is a lopso apso shih tzu

I don't believe there is any shih tzu in Benji, I have a shih tzu...and she's nothing like Benji.

To me it looks as if Benji's got some terrier in her.

He looks just like our dog but with shorter legs.

I read some where that he was a lhasa apso mix, and I think he is because I have a lhasa apso, and he looks like him.

I think Benji is a Llasa Apso. Looks like just like mine did in the summertime. All blonde and the shagginess. Even down to the poor pitiful me look.

I KNOW that Benji in this particular film is a Lhasa Apso. Because I had a dog that looked EXACTLY like the breed in this movie. I know it is a Lhasa Apso.

I know the original dog, Higgins, was a mutt. At least according to Wiki, Frank Inn thought he was part miniature poodle, cocker spaniel, and schnauzer.
