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 Lindsey and Leo!

Hi, my name is Lindsey and I'm from Ohio. My husband and I adopted our first basenji last January. Leo is now a little over a year old. As you can tell from the picture he is black and white. I haven't seen many black and whites…does this mean anything? We knew that basenjis could be a handful before Leo came along, but we don't always know how to handle it, so I'm thankful for some supportive advice Although he can be rotten, his cuddle time seems to make up for all the lost socks. Can't wait to meet more basenji lovers!

I am also in the Dayton area, South-Miami Twp./West Carrollton area. Perhaps we should have a get together at one of the dog parks when the weather gets warmer and is not so wet!
