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!
Basenji walk

Yesterday we had a Basenji walk organized by our club. It was a big succes! There were six intact males and two intact females and not a growl was heard. They were all off leash and had soooo much fun! Even the meetings with other dogs went OK! It was lovely to watch and I was very proud of Tillo, who was also showing his best behaviour
Job took some pictures:
This looks like the perfect place for a pee…

Fabulous pictures! I especially liked the jumping shots, and the picture of Mirtillo looking regal in the forest.
-
so much fun to see so many R&Ws (that's my favorite color)
-
What a gorgeous group of Basenjis. IMO, Tillo stands out as usual, maybe it's because he has such distinctive wrinkles - I've noticed some B's kind of lose that wrinkled look as they grow up.
-
What great pictures
I love seeing that many basenjis having fun together
-
Wow, really nice pictures. Miss my forest walks with my Dad when I was back in Holland.
-
Lovely pictures and wonderful to see such a large happy group.

All these beautiful pictures make me want to move to the Netherlands… Last winter you took a picture of rows of trees in the snow that I still can't get out of my head...O to dream...

Thank you all for the nice comments
It was such a lovely walk, I'm happy we decided to go. Normally I'm a bit worried about all those B's getting together.. But they proved me wrong so much fun to see so many R&Ws (that's my favorite color)
It was a beautiful sight! We got quite a lot of positive comments. And the R&W's are my absolute favorites as well

I remember that picture as well! It took my breath away. I am not sure who took it (Janneke or Job), but the composition and feeling the picture gave made it so remarkable.

great pics
as a photog for a living nice to see killer pics also love the log jumping ones both technical and subject
so does Moyo like to ride around on shoulders then ? thats pretty funny

Job got some wonderful photos of your outing. Looks like all the dogs had a great time and got along, obviously all well socialized, as well as gorgeous.
