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!
What did your Basenji do for you today?

As many of you know the cost of fuel is currently out of control in the United States. The park where I walk Roo, is 6 miles away from our house. Since Roo is very concerned with the current fuel prices, and he enjoys seeing me sweat, he convinced me to buy him a bike trailer ( Burley Tail Wagon ), just so he could help me save gas getting him to the park.

Hey, shouldn't he be walking and you be riding?

Great pictures !
I consider buying one for my whole family : high fuel prices in the USA ?
1 liter of this liquid gold costs 2.4 DOLLARS here in Belgium !!:(
That's over a period of 5 years three times as expensive.
Think I'm gonna sell my Benz. He's doing 7 liters of gasoil on 100 km. Far to expensive. -
Cute pictures…maybe you could get a Husky or a Malamute to pull both of you in the trailer?
-
Yea definitely invest in a Husky for your next canine! Talk about saving not only with fuel & but with your man power as well

Nice ride!
When I was a teenager, my first B would pull me around on my skateboard. She loved to run, and I didn't mind being pulled around either!

Ha! Years ago we had a chow-shepherd mix that would pull my husband around on a bike. Great fun for both of them except for random cat sightings…then the ride got a little scary! :p
