Scarlet is a cutie whatever she is! If you have a real interest in learning what she is, I would recomment wisdompanel.com - there you will find a site that will send you swabs for her cheeks, then will later on send you a report showing everything that is in her, and how much of each - it goes back five generations and the reports are wonderful. I know I sound like a commercial, but we sent off to find out what our Gemma was mixed with, and found she is basenji all the way on one side, and sheltie on the other, with a little collie thrown in three generations back. Because the reports send along information about what the breeds personalities are, it's really easy now to see when Gemma is being sheltie-ish and when she's being basenji, which is mainly when she's interacting with her PB sister. Good luck with Scarlet, and welcome! I think you can also pick up the DNA kits from wisdompanel at PetSmart, or so someone told me.

He's cute! We need more pics!
He's really dark brindle, very nice!And: welcome!!
-
He is a very dark brindle which is one of the reasons we picked him.
I took some more pics and he is (in my eyes) beautiful when running in the sun. Nothing is as pretty as a Basenji running, of course none of those pics turned out, but here are a few others of him….
Enjoy, Basenjimamma

Wow, he's really a handsome B!!

What a pretty pup. Thanks for the pictures!! and welcome to the forum. I'm partial to the brindles.
I have an older brindle guy who's more of a black over red. Yours looks more like a red over black. I never thought to look here to see if there's a color distinction amongst brindles. I will now.
Again, welcome Otis and family.

Welcome to the forum!

Thank you all so much. Otis is getting more and more used to our other dogs and chickens and he is "blossoming" into a very curious little, or should I say big( at 18.9lbs at 4 months) boy.

Welcome to the pack – what a beautiful boy (but then what basenji isn't beautiful).
The look in his eye makes me think he's going to grow up into a real teaser
