Mismarkings - miscoloring ?
These photos are random & only to show how much white some basenjis can have 

Please Read the following articles linked below

Mrs. Doreen Duffin has also published her thoughts on the subject - read here & especially the part under colours:
"Ideally the white should not reach above the hock or elbow, and apart from the optional collar, there should be no white on the body. White markings in the overall body coat of the dog should be penalised"

This is a splendid looking male, however I had one who also had a red spot in his collar and an English judge gave him a 2. price (Very Good)  because he said my male was mismarked - (also known as the Cambria/Mungai spot that is to go back to Orange Fizz of the Congo - so I am told) 

This was many years ago - however the problem of too much white has not gone away, on the contrary - and what to do about it?



Here are some photos of basenjis with much white on them & not according to the standard

Interesting Russian website with photos of basenji colors 

This basenji male was sold as a pet to Lithuania 


I had some good photos of Australian imports, however the breeder got very upset and demanded them removed from this website and as we aim to please, so be it - however, it leaves one wondering why being ashamed of ones breeding ?
