The ears say Basenji. I have never replied but felt I had to this time. I have a Basenji-Pitbull mix named Daisy. It was Daisy's ears (and behavior) that I discovered her to be part Basenji. I have not found another breed with the ears such as Basenji's have. I'm sure I will get "crap" because I have not had DNA or other testing done but there is no mistaking, Daisy is part Basenji. I think its important to know if your dog is part Basenji because in Daisy's case she is 98% Basenji and 2% pitbull concerning her behaviors and personality. Daisy is 2 years old and it has been quite a learning experience owning such a smart, stubborn, loving, mind of her own, amazing dog! Daisy is a mix but I have to train, teach, go outside to yell out frustrations cause of her (and no I'm not kidding, but never in front of her) and all that goes with a pure Basenji because trying to train her like a normal dog does not work.

My wife called this pretty guy to my attention this morning. He is listed on Craigs List, Kansas City. He is a good looking mixed having all the major traits, Curved but not curled tail, all four feet are white, he will and can bark but reluctantly, just over one year and well behaved. It's really funny, we have adopted 2 boys from BRAT but havent the foggiest idea who we should contact to get him on BRAT's available list. Only way i know how to contast the owner is through Kansas City's Craigs List, there is an email address. I would be delighted to foster him except for the the law in North Kansas City limits us to 3 dogs per household unless you hace a breeders license, and the fact we already have 2 males in house. His name is Rango, he is listed in the pet section of Craigs List.

As an organization BRAT doesn't foster mixes, but sometimes individual members will, at their own expense. BRAT does maintain a Basenji mix adoption site, but the dogs on there are often ones belonging to other rescue organizations. Individual owners looking to place their B-mixes, I think, have to coordinate their own dogs. When I was BRAT's Basenji mix coordinator I often would coordinate the dogs, but I'm not sure if it's like that now. I know that there are certain individuals in BRAT that don't think BRAT should deal with B-mixes at all.
