    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!

    Adopt and old dog.. and teach it new tricks!

    One person's burden can be another person's best friend.
