People post mixes here and on Facebook all the time thinking the are a basenji or a mix.. This one is one of the few that really might be! She's probably mixed but I have seen purebred capped basenjis and ones with heavy ticking. A dna test would be interesting!
Her ears look a bit more rat terrier than basenji and the breeds have such a similar look that they get mistaken for each other a lot. I have a friend with a red/white standard rat terrier (show dog) who had a docked tail and is constantly mistaken for a basenji.

I have two 7 year old Basenji mix boys (littermates). I was told they were a jack russell mix when I adopted them, but after DNA testing and I found out they are Boston/Basenji's. Very strong Basenji personalities, with the bonus that they bark AND yodel! (lucky me). I want to get them a little sister B one day and extend my crazy family.

Welcome to you and your boys. I hope you'll post some pictures, please, it's an interesting mix!

Welcome to the forum. Your little guys look quite interesting - post more pics please

Thanks all, more pics as requested. Frankie is larger, and has no tail, and Joey came with a broken tail if you can tell in any of these pics.

Welcome to you and your boys! I never would have guessed basenji/boston…what an interesting combo! They're cute and look like they're a lot of fun!

Tank you for the pictures - I would never have guessed the combo - they look lovely boys though.
