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!
Our first Basenji

Hello all, This is our first Basenji and he is so much fun, interesting and silly all at the same time. He was 2 mts old when we received him and it is just amazing how quicky he has grown. His home is in Oregon and we call him Korben but his registered name is Khani's Teazer Endlessly Jealous. His biological parents are Hawk and Kyla.

Handsome boy

He is very cute and looks similar to our Brindle Basenji, Arrow, who is 9 years old.

At this age get him used to the Dremel for tidying his nails. It will help a lot later to keep his nails short so as not to splay his feet. A good looking brindle that should give you lots of fun.

We bought a dremel to do his nails and he absoutely hates it. I let him look, snif and move it while it was not off and he just backs up. I turned it on and he ran away. So we will us the dog clippers for his nails, those seem to be working.
