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!
Got awkward puppy photos?
-
All these new puppy posts have inspired me to go through old puppy photos. Was rummaging through the 'photo book' and found another odd photo or two of Beo as a puppy - a puppy going through the 'awkward' stages of growing no less.
I thought it might be fun to see if anyone else had some 'awkward' puppy photos laying around
"Before" and "After".
He was sporting some major dumbo ears, a helicopter tail, and wrinkles that would make Father Time look twice.

Elliot is always a little awkward lol. The sleeping ones where taken a few days after I got him and the ones of the two of us were about a month ago LOL.

The BRAT FB page had a Very Silly thread about Bs and tin hats…not a Happy Bunny...
-
Haha, too cute and funny. I love that Elliot is draped over the golden - the perfect blanket? I think so.
The tin hat is excellent, as is his/her expression.

Butu is a boy…and I love it too - you can tell he is thinking "She's an Idiot, but why Involve Me?"

Reminds me of a quote I saw [not my own] while browsing an unrelated forum, something along the lines of:
"Maybe one day dogs will evolve to the point where they can defend themselves from our silly hats, but until that day comes I'm going to continue dressing my pugs up in stupid clothing…and there's not a thing they can do about it."
I never thought I would put clothing on my dog....and now and then I catch myself taking stupid photos with him in my jacket, or sunglasses, etc. . No costumes yet though thankfully... I do love the tin hat though, absolutely adorable. Teehee.
They are so patient with us.
