I am pretty sure you can't just look at a mix and declare what it is. Scientific studies have debunked that over and over. Best to do a DNA test, in my opinion. I have a mix who was advertised as a Basenji Mix, and her DNA results confirmed it. If you just looked at her and made a judgement, it would be mixed: her color was all askew, her tail was half-curled, she was smaller and featured more slender face and feet than a pure-bred B.
But, apparently, the 1/4 Min Pin (the ONLY other DNA in her sample) contributed some significant traits. Behavior and personality wise, Basenji rules the day. Again, I recommend a DNA test, and they improve by the day.
What is this other B identity thing that is mentioned in this thread? Is it also a DNA test, or something else?
Oh, and hey, your baby is way cute!

Very cute photos.
Are you looking for a dog from a breeder or a rescue dog? -
i am deffinatly planning a puppy later in the year 2009/2010 but may consider an older dog sooner, ie ex brood bitch or ex stud dog or just something that may need a home. Im not interested in breeding so i will deffinatly consider a rescue, doesnt seem to be many older ones needing homes in the uk, which i guess in a way is a good thing lol

If you want to know anything about basenjis before you adopt one, please feel free to ask anything at all. We have a tremendous amount of collective experience and knowledge here.
