People post mixes here and on Facebook all the time thinking the are a basenji or a mix.. This one is one of the few that really might be! She's probably mixed but I have seen purebred capped basenjis and ones with heavy ticking. A dna test would be interesting!
Her ears look a bit more rat terrier than basenji and the breeds have such a similar look that they get mistaken for each other a lot. I have a friend with a red/white standard rat terrier (show dog) who had a docked tail and is constantly mistaken for a basenji.
Hello

I'm Terry, the female half of Illusion Basenjis. My husband is Bob. We have owned Basenjis for nearly 15 years (the age of our oldest Basenji, Dino) and currently own 8. We have all 4 colors.
We enjoy showing our own Basenjis in conformation, have done a little lure coursing, and plan on doing some obedience if we can.
We live in San Diego, but are planning to move to Houston area when we retire in about 3 years.
Looking forward to lively and interesting discussions!(Hi Denice!)
