My little dog looks exactly like Benji, but smaller. Her mom was wirehaired doxie, her dad was a terrier.
Kids are always saying..LOOK! its Benji!

Mutt. And a shelter rescue, to boot! ::grin::
From Benji.com (the people who'd know!):
Q What is the new Benji's Breed? What is the original Benji's breed?
A We've heard this one a lot. The original Benji was a mixed breed, as is the new Benji. Huggable, floppy-eared mutts, we call them. Lots of folks have guessed about the components of the mix but nobody knows for sure because both were adopted from animal shelters. We feel certain that the current Benji has some spaniel in her because she lies with her back legs splayed out (like a bear rug) as many spaniels do. We know no more than that. We're just happy they came along.
Q Where can I find a Benji-like dog?
A All we can do is recommend staying in touch with your local shelters and rescue groups. Make friends. Get on their lists. Check with online pet finding websites like www.Pets911.com . We spent four months traveling around the country last year looking for the new Benji in shelters all across the nation. Four months! We also had terrific assistance from the online services. I know of two people who adopted Benji-look-alikes from shelters thousands of miles away from their home. In one case, a lady traveled to the shelter to meet the dog. In the other, the arrangements were made long-distance and the dog was shipped via air. But a dog does not have to look like Benji to have the unconditional love and terrific personality of a fantastic companion. We've seen so many. In fact most of the pets we've seen in shelters are truly wonderful dogs and cats. Don't get hinng up on a dog that looks just like Benji. Find one that works right with your and your family. You'll be much happier. And, by the way, we've always found that two are better than one. Especially if they have to be left alone at times. They keep each other company, play and sleep together and don't get bored (destructive) as easily. We currently have four dogs and two cats.

I don't know that Benji was a specific breed, I remember him being a little brown shaggy dog. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Not a Cairn terrier.
