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 from Canada

Say "out" for me - or is that just the Western Canadians that say it so cute?
Welcome - my dad and his family were from Hanna, Alberta, Canada.

Welcome to our pack. If you've contacted some breeders then ask to visit a few more times so you can get a sense of basenji behavior. You've obviously done some research and talked with people and read our discussions here.
Just keep in mind Fanconi disease (which can be tested for) and be prepared to have toilet paper strewn all over the house, some choice (and expensive) lingerie torn up, chew marks on the furniture, and dead animals dragged into the house. If you can get past all that, then be prepared to lose your hearts to these beasties. -

And, that's just the beginning!

Is he a Mankia/Twinvue pup? He looks familiar.
-
Adorable, simply adorable..you are so lucky..

Is he a Mankia/Twinvue pup? He looks familiar.
Nope. We looked into getting a Mankia pup. He is part HCrest and part Select. We got him from HersheyCrest Kennels.
-
Who are his parents? I know Chris's boy is a Mankia dog so that may be where Arlene sees the resemblance.
-
Sorry, I left town for a few weeks. His mother is Fatina from Chris. I hope Ianswered your question,
-
Ah, now I know why he is familiar. I know Chris and Fatina.
