People post mixes here and on Facebook all the time thinking the are a basenji or a mix.. This one is one of the few that really might be! She's probably mixed but I have seen purebred capped basenjis and ones with heavy ticking. A dna test would be interesting!
Her ears look a bit more rat terrier than basenji and the breeds have such a similar look that they get mistaken for each other a lot. I have a friend with a red/white standard rat terrier (show dog) who had a docked tail and is constantly mistaken for a basenji.
Hello!

Hi there everybody!
I am Andrea. My husband, Tim and I have been involved in basenjis for almost 8 years. We show in conformation, and we lure course. I aspire to have a dog trained enough to participate in obedience and agility, but haven't gotten there yet. We have five basenjis.
I recognize a lot of names here from the B-list and the BCOA. This looks like a great forum!
