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 everyone

I am Terry from Florida. My dog is so adorable. She is 1/2 Basenji & 1/2 rough coat Jack Russel. She's white and fawn, going on 4 years old. She does bark, has a curled tail, furrowed brow, and is so beautiful. I got her at aspca in Fl. she was 10 months old, and very timid. She cowered at any loud noise, was afraid of men, and couldn't stand the word "come or bad." She cowered and tucked her tail. It was heartbreaking. Now she is so happy! We are very well bonded. She's come such a long way, and I'm very proud of her.

Thanks, I am very lucky to have her, she's so sweet with such a loving nature. But she does like to hunt, and last night roughed up a little oposson in the back yard. It did get away, with my help. Do other Basenji's like to herd? When Zoe went to a dog run in St Pete, she ran all the dogs to a tree, and kept them there as long as they would put up with it. It was hillarious!
