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

I've been meaning to do this for awhile! After being basenji-less for over 20 years, we recently adopted a 9 yr old girl from BRAT. Pippi is wonderful and we feel so lucky to have found her.

That's wonderful! we need pics.
-
Congratulations on Pippi!
-
Wonderful you found Pippi! Or that she found you. We would love to see pics of Pippi too.
-
Best to all of you and thank you for giving Pippi that special home.

Big hugs to you for adopting an older basenji. My heart gets broken when I see the senior b's on the BRAT web page. So give Pippi a hug for me.
