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 everyone!

Hello all! My name is Lindsay and I reside in Charlotte, NC. My basenji, Red, passed away unexpectadly last May and am now ready for another companion! I hope to bring my puppy, Blue, home early next year. I actually adopted Red when she was an adult, so a puppy will be very new to me. I want to know everything there is to know, and also find some other B owners in the area! I want to make sure that Blue will be used to other dogs early on.
I look forward to talking to some of you very soon!
Lindsay
