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.
Maybe a Basenji

I was recently told that my dog looked like a besenji. When I got her I was told she was a jack russell, but I don't think that is the case. After reading the description, it fits her almost perfect. Anyone have any input! I have attached a picture.

Looks pretty Basenji to me. How old is she and what does she weigh? Who told you she was a Jack Russell?
-
Where did you get her from?
-
I bought her for $50 when she was 7 weeks old from my neighbor(he moved since then). His dog was the dad. I only saw a picture of the dad, he looked jack russell. I never saw the mom. But as she has grown, I have become doubtfull of the info I was given, or what the guy really knew. I love her to death. She is about 12 lbs right now. but only going on 9 months old.

I think she's part Russell and part B.
-
I think as Andrea said on the other post that she is part Rat Terrier and part Chi, more then Jack Russell….

I found this on Petfinder. It is listed as a Chi/Basenji. Looks very similar.

Wow…that looks very close!

Well, whatever it is, it's cute as a button! The tail definitely looks Basenji, as do the ears.
-
She's definitely part B
And what a cutie! -
Personally I think the picture closes the case, she is Chi/Basenji. I sure know one thing, it sure is a cute mix. I know you are so glad to see exactly what she/he is.

I don't think that is a Basenji.. but again a Rat Terrier/Chi cross… IMO

This is Ren our terrier mix, she's 13. She thinks she's a Basenji. But I see the ears look the same and her tail has like a quarter curl to it.
We call her the short legged Basenji!:)

Pretty little old gal :p
She looks very dignified. -
Just a Q, What other little dogs have a close curled tail like a B?
