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!

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!

well, not really a bed, but its what he uses, and its often times me! he has a nice big crate with two very large dog pillows in there, but no, laps and anything inconveniencing for me is a lovely place to nap. here are a few examples.
heating vents of course
strange place…
and of course, chow chows make wonderful warm fuzzy pillows!
