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!
Nayru Got A New Collar
-
There was nothing wrong with her old collar but I wanted her to have something with a bit more "HEY NOTICE ME" to it. I found this on Etsy.com and love it. The seller custom made it with a matching leash. Now I have to get Batman one.
OH! Her day collar is off for these pictures since it clashed. (Yes, I'm weird).
"Please, no pictures."
"Did you say breakfast?"
My friends have nicknamed her the "Haughty Hottie Princess".
Relaxing on the couch
Aren't I a pretty girl?
One of the bratty little brother, Batman working his "please nap some more" magic. -
She's beautiful! Collar totally fits her!!!!:)
-
Thanks, Vicki! She's napping now, but I'll pass along the compliment. Hee.
-
Kipawa thinks her collar rocks!
-
I'm telling myself that NOOOOO I can't get more of these before Batman gets his. LOL
-
It's lovely to see more pictures of Arwen and Batman. The collar is really beautiful - I'm not going to let my Bs see it, they'll all want one! One like that should go so well with Batman's colour too.
-
Sorry, Arwen, I meant 'Nayru'. I don't think the collar would fit you!
-
LOL! I think I'll measure myself for one. We can all step out in matching collars.
Batman wants one in blue, he says. BOYS! I love her work and she is not that expensive. At least I don't think so. -
Oh wow..! Looking good! Love the collar and the dogs!!
-

Trendyhounds just posted more colors. LOL I have my eye on an emerald green one for Batman.

That would look gorgeous
Nayru looks so pretty i bet her doughnut tail went nuts when she saw it -
I can't wait to see Batman in his new collar.
