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!
Basenji mix??

Hello! I got this puppy a couple weeks ago! Her name is Onna! She is about to be 10 weeks old and I had no idea what breed she is until I saw some pictures of basenjis! Do you guys think that's what she is? What else could she be mixed with any ideas?!!

Doesn't look like a basenji to me

@margiem really?! I have no idea what breed this little girl is then! She weighs 7 lbs so I counted chihuahua out, maybe some cattle dog mix?? I have no idea!

@stelleystar - Very cute, but I don't see Basenji

I don't see basenji, but with mixes maybe not obvious til older. Regardless, she is extremely cute.

OMG soooo cute. Her colouring and face don't look like a basenji, but maybe she's mixed with something with stronger genes. Do a DNA test. That would be fun!
