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 everyone:)
I'm new here, and hope I can learn alot from you about the Basenji. My family and I are considering to expand the family with one. I've never actually met on irl (exept one at the wet's waitingroom some years ago), but they sound lovely, and are really beautiful! -
Welcome, you will definitely learn lots of stuff about Basenji's here.

Welcome to our group. Be sure you research the breed before you buy one - basenjis have many peculiarities that surprise some people. Regardless we are here to help you with any questions and with tips. Let us know what you finally decide.

Welcome, make sure you get one from a breeder who does the health testing.

Hello & welcome to the group. Just to reaffirm what others are saying about researching first.

Welcome! This is a wonderful place to get to know and learn about Basenjis…and the people who love them...

Welcome from another newbie, there is a lady in Norway who breeds Basenjis and does health check, she owns the litter sister to one of mine.
Try reading some of the put offs posted on basenji sites and find out the bad things first, if that doesn't put you off then nothing will!
I would never be without mine.
