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!

Great pics. Dude's a handsome man. Does he swim, and who's the little one he's with in 2 pics??
-
Pictures are great and Dude is very very handsome. I love the little one it has winkles Jaycee has those. I second who is the little one? Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! I think I call him 'handsome man' more often than his actual name
Dude is 8 months and the little one Chrissy is 4 months. My breeder wanted her to spend some time with us and get to know our cats while she is still little. It is so much fun having the two of them, and so quiet when she goes home. Rent-a-puppy is helping calm my budding puppy fever!!!
I am lucky in that my breeder lives just a few miles down the road and Dude gets to go visit and socialize every few weeks.Dude enjoys swimming in the lakes and rivers, he likes to swim after the ducks and with other dogs. He has no interest in getting into the ocean so far, but I don't blame hime, the Oregon coast is COLD!!!

I can see 'em all and if this fella ain't some kind of film star in the next 12 months, I'll eat my hat!
Or i'll get some freindly Basenji to eat it anyway, but it's the thought that counts!
Lovely pics,
Alan

Can see all the pics now. What a good idea to let the younger Basenji spend time getting used to your cats. Trouble is if it were me i dont think i'd want to give her back
