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.

Welcome… to the forums...
Who did you get your Basenjis from? Not usual that there are pups this time of year... (born in July?)
-
i got them from a local breeder i found in the paper
they were born july 7th
-
Hopefully the breeder has done the DNA testing on the parents for Fanconi? If you don't know about Fanconi or the DNA testing (new as of July of this year), please read about it at www.basenjihealth.org. (and other Basenji health concerns) It is very important that anyone breeding Basenjis test their dogs for Fanconi so that we can rid our beloved Basenjis of this terrible affliction.
