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

Our family has welcomed our newest member, 6 y/o Rama.
She is the first basenji for our family.
We adopted her from an elderly gentleman that could no long take care of her.
Rama came to us a little on the thicker side, so we are working on getting her down to her ideal weight. I love all the info and suggestions I have read on here.
keep up the great work! -
