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.

Welcome to the forums, Luke is just adorable. Hold on to your hat… you are in for a wild ride, LOL!!! AAaaahhhhh, but how we love our little "beasties." Basenjis are the most amazing breed, I am totally smitten with my Bella. She keeps me laughing and keeps me warm at night. She looks at me with those deep, dark eyes and has me wrapped around her little Basenji paw...;)

Everything is going great. He is getting more comfortable everyday and starting to show his quirky personality. About twice a day, he goes absolutely nuts and runs all over the place. He had his first vet visit, and he was a real hit there. His housetraining is going great. He even wakes me up in the middle of night with a nibble on the head to let me know he needs to go out. He loves to chew on all his toys, but he is starting to get real interested in chewing the legs of the furniture. The bitter apple spray works pretty good, but he still finds spots to chew. Ill post up some new pics soon.
