I am pretty sure you can't just look at a mix and declare what it is. Scientific studies have debunked that over and over. Best to do a DNA test, in my opinion. I have a mix who was advertised as a Basenji Mix, and her DNA results confirmed it. If you just looked at her and made a judgement, it would be mixed: her color was all askew, her tail was half-curled, she was smaller and featured more slender face and feet than a pure-bred B.
But, apparently, the 1/4 Min Pin (the ONLY other DNA in her sample) contributed some significant traits. Behavior and personality wise, Basenji rules the day. Again, I recommend a DNA test, and they improve by the day.
What is this other B identity thing that is mentioned in this thread? Is it also a DNA test, or something else?
Oh, and hey, your baby is way cute!

Hey, how did she do and how many points is she up to?Hehe. People like to egg her on to get her to yodel. I wish I could get it on command but we're not quite there yet.
She did really well, actually, and got BOW. :D. That was her first major so she should be up to 12 points now. So close but yet so far….

Very cute video - love to hear the yodeling - I get that out of my mix after she barks, but my Shaye never talks like that - well - my husband says he heard it once, but I dunno . . . . .

They are all very sweet and dog show buddies. They see each other every few weeks or months so not enough time to get on each others bad sides usually. Never realized at home since Nemo is neutered, but Zoni is such a little flirt with intact males. She goes crazy with the "butt bumps".
