When my daughter was pregnant she would stop by once a week and Izzy would always sniff her all over , most of all her stomach and around that area, her husband was afraid of Izzy being around the baby when he came , because Izzy is not a real friendly basenji especially to my son in law. Izzy has never had any aggression toward my grandson, my grandson is 7 now and Izzy is always there to protect him, when the grandson goes down the stairs Izzy is just one step in front of him like he is protecting him from falling. I don't know about other basenjis but Izzy loves kids, but not a lot of adults.
Is my new pup part basenji?

Nala is 13 weeks and definitely a mutt, but was wondering if any of you thought she was part basenji? The curly tail, aloof walk, and ears make me think so, but she is a barker so I know that a different barking breed is mixed in.

I'm leaning towards a Chihuahua mix.
A breeder with more experience of young Basenji's may have a different opinion. -
Muts can be wonderful dogs ! She's a lovely creature with oodles of character but honestly I can't see Basenji in there. Much more likely to be Chihuahua - but you love her anyway, so why worry ? You can always get her DNA tested and might be very surprised !

She is a beauty, whatever breeds she is. Obviously you two share a lot of love together. Wonderful!!!!

Congratulations on your new pup! Nala is a cutie! It’d be interested to know her genetic make-up......I don’t have any guesses. Enjoy her - she is precious.
