Registration papers should be proof, but without DNA confirmation one can never be positive. I know a breeder (in another breed) who was getting old and a bit confused and I am sure some of her pups' parents were not accurately attributed, but the pups were purebred, just possibly from different sire. Coat colour can vary tremendously and it's more likely when it isn't a disqualification in the breed. If you are buying a dog described as purebred then there should be registration papers given to you. A DNA test should tell you whether the dog is Basenji or mixed with something else, if you really want to know.

I’d rock that! Very nice. My sister got me this one. I’m pretty sure there’s a message in there, subtle or not. Doesn’t matter. Don’t care. Hi, I’m JENGOSMonkey and I’m addicted to Basenjis.

@jengosmonkey That is a lovely T-shirt ! But you should come and walk with us in the forest. Yesterday I took the boys in the afternoon because I was baking all morning (with their help, of course !).
A different ambience, different people walking different dogs to the normal morning scene. Mud kind of forces one to the main trails this time of year so it is not easy to avoid people on the back paths. The first 4 groups or couples we met asked me 'what kind of dogs are those ?' or just 'What ARE they ?'
And we only met 5 different lots of walkers on the two mile circuit ! You would have had a field day, talking about Basenjis !
