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!

Coming, or going???? Basenjis are able to both at the same time.

Haha… I had to look again at that picture to figure out just what was going on.

That's a Basenji U turn, which is legal in a dog park!
Mine is so limber he will put is head down in the couch cushion then let his body drape over folding himself in half. I'm thinking of putting his resume in with Cirque du Soleil. -

Great idea - they'd teach the Cirque dancers new tricks! Mine squeezes herself behind us when we're sitting on the couch and then bends her head over the back of herself so she can look at us and "tell" us to give her more room!:p

Ok we've had a bendy neck thread, how about a bendy Basenji thread ?
Anymore pics ?
