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!
Spring cleaning basenji style
-
Lots happening at our place yesterday - house spring cleaning and boxing up clothes for the homeless. Kipawa felt he was best at 'organizing' the clothes!
-
so nice of him to help out!
-
Better that it's a pile of clothes than a pile of glass. I had a glass shatter on the floor this morning and Kananga wanted to come over and help. :eek:
Fortunately he can be easily startled by loud noises, so starting up the vacuum kept him away.
-
Nothing like a Basenji when you want help organising!!
-
basenjis are soooooo helpful. (at least in thier little minds!)
-
He looks to be very helpful! Mine would be EATING the clothes to be given away - love your flooring incidentally.
-
Helpful in their own little Basenji way. Cairo loves laundry, or any type of clothing. "Bet you can't catch me."
