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!

**Ivoss - I love the first one, puppy piles are always adorable
Janneke - The middle one is very funny, it cracks me up when they sleep like that
OKay here's Tiggy, they are mainly with Reggie too because they sleep together. Here's Tig after he burrowed into our bed LOL
This is the bed they got for Christmas, they both love it and it leave room for dh and I in our bed, let me tell you two dogs cn take up a king size by themselves
This is their couch in the living room
But out of all the beds in the house this is Tiggy's prefered bed, the one of a kind Reggie bed

WBL - I love the last two photos! They are sooo sweet together! A friend of us lived in Australia for a year and he is back in the Netherlands since the beginning of March. Wednesday his Australian boxer will arrive in the Netherlands! It's a 10 month old bitch. I hope she will become good friends with Mirtillo.

Well Dallas has a lot of "beds" as he sleeps everywhere but here are some of his favorite spots:
He likes relaxing on the comfy sofa
He loves falling alseep on Daddy's neck [you can see how much daddy likes it :p ]
& this is in his crate so I suppose his actual bed
