Registration papers should be proof, but without DNA confirmation one can never be positive. I know a breeder (in another breed) who was getting old and a bit confused and I am sure some of her pups' parents were not accurately attributed, but the pups were purebred, just possibly from different sire. Coat colour can vary tremendously and it's more likely when it isn't a disqualification in the breed. If you are buying a dog described as purebred then there should be registration papers given to you. A DNA test should tell you whether the dog is Basenji or mixed with something else, if you really want to know.
Basenji = Little Kid

I just had it re-assured that basenjis are partly just a 2-3 year old child. My roommates kid is visiting, and his mom is having the same arguments with their 3 year old son as I have with Medjai.
"You just played, now you MUST go to the bathroom. I know you don't want to, but trust me, you have to."
"Take a nap, you played all morning, and you always want to play later."
They both will just look to see when the parent isn't looking and do what they're not supposed to.

Difference is the "human" 2/3 yr old grows up… A Basenji...Never!

I do think your both right!

I always tell people that having a Basenji is like having a perpetual 2 yr old….so actually, you give Medjai more credit than I give mine, LOL.
