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.

I found this shirt today on Cafepress.com [who btw has an [B]amazing selection of basenji stuff to buy!!!] & just had to get it. I know my entire family is going to make fun of me for wearing it [They just do not understand the basenji…] but I just don't care! It was too funny & true to pass up.
The words are kind of small but it says:
Basenji Property Laws:
1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
3. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
4. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours.
6. If it just looks like mine, it's mine.
7. If I saw it first, it's mine.
8. If it's edible, it's mine.
9. If you have something & put it down, it's mine.
10. If I chew something up, all the pieces are mine.
11. If I get tired of it, it's yours.
12. If I want it back, it's mine.
