Village Dog - another "What's the mix?"
Kobi is from Indonesia and is 10 months old, he weighs about 35
pounds. The owner has no idea what's in him. http://www.rocky-dog.com/Daycare/Kobi01.jpg http://www.rocky-dog.com/Daycare/Kobi02.jpg -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

But most dogs in a "non-organized-kennel-country" like I suppose Indonesia is are not crosses between breeds we know here in Europe or America, but they are more probably just local landrace dogs, crosses between different types of these landrace dogs and sometimes crosses between landrace and Western dog breeds. Some landrace dog types will be herding type (if herding dogs are used in that country), some are different types of hunting dogs, some might be mostly for guarding and there even might be some smallish types which are mostly pets without any other work. And then some are just plain pariah dogs with nearly no selective breeding by man in their pedigree. Liisa |

Liisa, he's a black masked brindle with short-ish (about Malinois length) hair, and his base color is sort of a dark cream so the brindling really stands out. I'd never be able to tell but yep, he looks pariah dog to me. |

If that was a Western dog, I'd guess that it might have Pit Bull, GSD and some Asian breed like Korean Jindo in its pedigree. But as it is an Indonesan dog and I really don't know which breeds are common there (except that pariah dogs do exist), no idea. Something in its face looks very Asian - Asian breeds have often smallish slanted eyes and fuller muzzle than Western breeds. The body shape looks like dingo/pariah/Jindo/Thai Ridgeback, kind of "generic dog". Same with ear and tail carriage. Coat is about identical to what natural dog/wolf coat should look in Indonesian climate. Color is masked sable brindle with no white just like Robin already described, but I don't know which colors/patterns are common over there in local dog populations. Sable is common in most pariah dog populations all over the world. Brindle is common in some Japanese breeds and so it might exist in South Asia too. If it is mostly a pariah/village dog, it could be expected that it is friendly towards its own family, shy or even mildly aggressive towards total strangers, independent, a very good watch dog, have medium to heavy prey drive, not too easy to train to high level obedience but basic commands stuff should go ok. Healthwise very healthy but might be more prone to get some diseases which don't exist where it comes from. Liisa |

I think what you have there is a 100% purebred Indonesian Spitz-esque Pariah-esque Village Hound. Yup. From my one day with him, I'd say this Village Dog fits the breed description perfectly. His owners picked up a good roadside dog. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

He's a very friendly dog, and I hope his owner brings him back here for more socialising and training. I forsee see him becoming much more dominant as he grows older. Right now, he accepts humping as part of life, though I don't think that'll continue for long. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |
