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!
Well got a replacment

Lovely girl! What's her name? She sounds a little like my gal before I got her (crated long hours, really skittish about new things but just a lady with her behavior). Looking forward to seeing her bloom.

She is a beautiful little girl - congratulations and welcome. Kudos for helping with rescues and for taking a sweetie someone else could not keep. What is her name?

Her name is Zoe. I had forgotten how quiet they are walking around the house. I was shaving one morning when I had another one and she started licking the back of my knee, almost slit my throat. She is very well mannered, takes treats real nice, has that eligant walk. Take her for a walk outside and when we come in, she sits on the rug till I unhook the leash and she gets her rubbing. While outside, her head/neck almost need a 360 deg swivel, she has to see and watch everything.
Thanks for all the compliments! She really is a sweet one. Almost looks like Nicole in my aviator but a lighter brown.

You know Wanda and she knows me. That's why I ended up with some of the misfits from her. Long story, ask her about Mac. Every one I've had has lived a happy life, better than some people.
