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!
Pictures of your Basenjis in the Beds

These are my two in their night-time beds. As you can see, they each have their own beds, and they are both IN their own bed when I go to bed at night. Sometime in the wee morning hours, Keoki gets lonely.
Jazz doesn't always appreciate it, and sometimes I hear her complaining about it. She doesn't do much to stop him, though.
-
That is very cute, JM! A far cry from when he was a pup though, yes? She'll appreciate it more and more as the years go by, I'm sure!
-
Nice to snuggle with something warm…b's are just heat seeking dogs!
-
Alright, we have Medjai on the bed daydreaming, and under the bed having fun.

Keoki, trying to fit in an old cat bed….. he and Jazzy both love this thing; why, I do not know.
-
Mya also has many beds, we don't anymore, but she certainly does! Notice how the tabby looks so THRILLED that she took his spot too? Two of these were taken when she was about 8 wks. old (she's 4 months old today).

I don't have a picture of this, but yesterday Jack was underneath the futon in the guest room (doing a little army crawl under the beds) and I picked up the quilt that was hanging over the side and peeked under to see what he was doing. He looked at me, then pawed at the quilt in my hand until I let it go.
"Mom- you're letting in all of the light- leave me alone!" LOL!
