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!

I love visiting my Mother-In-Laws you end up surrounded by basenji's my Sister-In-Law and I are continually swapping B pictures on our phones. Here are a few of them. = )

Awww.. There all soooo Cute
The last picture reminds me of my Phoenix looking around the corner given me that " what momma i didn't touch it look " lol -
Very sweet! All tris?
-
Yup all but her female Busara who is a red.
-
So, is your motherinlaw also your breeder?
-
Yup & she's going out of town for a wedding so i get another B for 2 weeks! I'm thrilled!!!!!
-
What are the registered names of your Boy's Mom and Dad?
-
Chargare's Rasha and Chargare's Busara. So someone commented that the tri gene is recessive but all of the dog's I've seen personally have been tri's regardless of the dam being a red. Is this normal?

Not normal… the Tri gene is recessive... and you can get other then Tri's if the dam is red... just sometimes it works out that all the pups might be Tri.. My Mickii is Tri, from a Tri Sire and Red Dam, her two littermates are both red
-
That's interesting 'cuz out of the litter my guys were in all 5 pups were tri's. And the next litter was also all tri's. The dam was a red and the sire a tri like I mention earlier. I'm curious as to what the next litter will be. The best part is that my MIL wanted red's not solely tri's.

As they say… you get what you get..... by the way, has your MIL had hips done? (OFA) and eyes yet? Good thing to get done before breeding....

I'll ask her. She's out of town for two weeks so it could be awhile before I find out.
