    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!

    Reminds me of a quote I saw [not my own] while browsing an unrelated forum, something along the lines of: "Maybe one day dogs will evolve to the point where they can defend themselves from our silly hats, but until that day comes I'm going to continue dressing my pugs up in stupid clothing…and there's not a thing they can do about it." I never thought I would put clothing on my dog....and now and then I catch myself taking stupid photos with him in my jacket, or sunglasses, etc. . No costumes yet though thankfully... I do love the tin hat though, absolutely adorable. Teehee. They are so patient with us.

    I am lucky with my guy. Although he has attempted digging a few times and been told "no", he doesn't take advantage of my absence to pursue the habit. One exception was when I assume he was cold, and he dug his way under the comforter on the bed, managing to do some damage to the foamy we have on the bed to make it softer. (never assume the bed that felt soft enough in the showroom will be so when you get it home! :) ) He has free run of the house and seldom abuses the privilege. Obviously if the damage occurs when you are gone the only solution is to restrict his access to the things he is likely to harm. Or suffer the consequences. ;)

    @YodelDogs: When I first read the post I thought "woohoo maybe this means she will move back to Atlanta!". Then I saw the pics and said "drat". Sorry to get your hopes up like that. But the guest room is all set up. Give me another week & I'll have the house basenji proofed, and you and your whole gang can come visit for an extended vacation!

    Our first Basenji targeted one post of a redwood gazebo in our back yard. He just slowly worked on it until eventually it was no bigger in diameter than a primary size pencil. We replaced the post, fearing that the gazebo would fall down when he eventually got all the way through. He loved the new post too, so we finally had to put metal flashing around it. He never really chewed any of the other 7 posts holding the gazebo up! 2 of our current Basenjis have completely denuded a eucalyptus tree of bark as far up as they can reach - but they leave the other eucalyptus alone… What goes on in their minds???
