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.
Hello from Upstate New York

After a two year span of not having a dog or dogs, I have done much research to find a certain type of breed that matches what I am looking for and the Basenji fits it perfectly! I will pick up our new little boy in latter January. I am glad I have found this site with such good questions and answers, I can just read all day long (until the puppy gets here!). I look forward to being a part of the Basenji community!

Hi and welcome to the forum. I didn't see this post until now. Things have been a little quiet lately. Feel free to ask questions and I am sure someone will show up to answer them!

Welcome. Yes, something is very wrong with the forum.. this didn't pop up for me until now either.
Where are you getting your pup from? Any pictures yet?

I had to place a email into the administrator for my post to show. I really like this site, I hope it works better.
To answer your question: I'm getting my puppy from Mata Hauri Basenji in about three weeks. I have been able to watch the puppies grow on facebook. They post videos every week for us to see.

Many of her dogs are related to my C-Me and Franie in the pedigree, I have been watching them grow also

Congrats on the new addition…such a fun and challenging time, I miss it- puppy season kills me
-
Also many facebook-pages dedicated to basenji's.
Enjoy! -
Thanks for the replies to my "Hello". I was wondering if I had walked into a ghost town…...seems there is a problem with the site at times.
