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 my fellow Basenji lovers
I live in Winona, Minnesota.
I have two Basenjis, a Male red and white, and a Female black tri-color. Their names are Hunter and Angel. They are from the same litter and they sure act like brother and sister with their constant bickering. They are the funniest dogs I have ever owned and they make me laugh everyday when I am not having to scold them for doing something naughty. They have the most personality of any other dog I have known. It is funny to hear stories from other Basenji owners that match my stories exactly. Thanks for letting me be a part of this community and keep the stories comin. -
Welcome

Hi Matt, welcome! Yeah, all basenjis are unique, and they are all alike! It's fun to read other people's stories and think, OMG my dogs does that exact same thing!
