    Your dog is most likely a multi-generation mix. Multiple generations without selective breeding often produces short haired, pointy eared, sandy colored, natural looking dogs. They are the prototype of the domestic dog :)

     I figured maybe along the lines of chow,GSD,Carolina Dog,Jindo or some asian breed (akita/shiba/kiyushu/kai).

    People have asked me if she was a pure Dingo! I simply replied with "I do not think that would be legal.." ahaha.

     Multi-generation mixes tend to be very Dingo-y looking. The Carolina Dogs were free roaming domestic dogs that were the result of natural selection. They are often called "American Dingos". The Dingo-y look is what dogs naturally look like without selective breeding, with or without Carolina Dog in their background. I really like the multi-generation, Dingo-y looking mixes - if I were to get a mix breed from a shelter, that is likely what I'd look for.

    I think I see some GSD in that head and face... whatever she is, she is very pretty!
