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!
What is my Basenji mixed with?
-
I'm really not seeing basenji, she looks more like my whippets.
I agree, but she is very cute
-
Whippets are the sweetest dogs, if she is a basenji and whipper mix that should be a very nice puppy
-
Honestly, I see a little pit in her with the shape of her face and the position of her ears.
-
Whatever she is, she is a pretty puppy. Good luck and thank you for rescuing her.
-
I'm not sure that she is part Basenji but however she is a very sweet little girl.
Welcome to the forum both of you.
-
Almost looks like a pitbull mix to me. Not sure, you will have to see when she gets a few months older.
-
What Basenji qualities do you see? I'm not sure I do, based on these pics. But I agree, I think there's some Pit.
-
She is Def. a Pit Mix. I grew up with Pitbulls in my family and know the breed very well and her face looks like my first dog Cocoa. Cocoa was 2 when I was born. She's a very pretty girl!
