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!
New Basenji/Mix ?

We just adopted this 7 month old Basenji mix, Not really sure if that it what she is but she seem to have some of the traits. She was picked up as a stray. Wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on whether she seems to be more Basenji or something completely different. We also have a 8 year old Shiba Inu so we are sort of accustomed to dogs that think they are smarter or better than their owner .

She looks like a basenji mix, not sure what though
I want to say pit bull but that would be crazy xD I think -
She does kinda look like part pit sometimes, they probably do not like to put pit in the mix because it does turn some people off. She also has a pretty good bark so I know she has to be mixed with something. My daughter loves Pit bulls, she is currently going to school to be a dog trainer.
