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 from Sao Paulo, Brazil!

Hey everybody!
I just picked up my 16 week old pup today. His coat is tricolor and his name is Oliver Lee.
He was shy when we first came home, and it took him a couple minutes to leave his cage. I tried taking him out for a walk around the block but he didn't want to walk at all, probably still nervous from the trip and confused from all the new impressions. When a yorkie pup walked by he took a couple steps back in fear, even though the other dog was less than half his size..lolI'm Swedish but I currently live in Sao Paulo. We live right next to a big park where there's a lot of dogs all the time. I hope he does fine tomorrow when we go explore

Welcome to the forum! Not sure why your post didn't come up as a new post, but normally this is an friendly bunch. I hope my response kicks it into new posts.
I really hope that you take more time to get the pup used to you and the new home before pushing other dogs at him. Let him become confident in YOU before you ask him to be okay in strange situations.
