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!

I would love to have big open spaces like that to let mine out free.

One more….where's Emmy Lou?
-
Where is that? It doesn't look far from my house. I don't trust Medjai, but if I drive 15 minutes, that's all I see is mountains and foothills.
-
It's near Eldorado Springs…..Dowdy Draw Trail;)
-
Wow.. looks wonderful!
-
I knew that looked familiar!
Colorado is so darn pretty…I can't bring myself to move anywhere else. :rolleyes: Looks like your B's are having a blast! -
soooooo jelous….. my girl would have so much fun! that makes me feel sad. I feel like a bad B mom since she has a tiny backyard
-
Lou and I are going to Mt this summer and taking the b's.
I hope my 2 can do a bit of running in the fields.
Lovely photos. -
Very beautiful! I'd love to get Dallas out in an open place like that. Maybe someday…in the meantime he's more of a woodsy dog

Definitely jealous! I used to live in Idaho, b.b., and really miss it.
Nothing around here where I would feel okay about letting EL D run free.
