ID this dog!

[furtech]

A friend of mine has a wonderful dog whose origins (breed-wise) are a total mystery. He looks most like a pariah dog-- like a dingo, but that's unlikely even given the eccentric personalities in Los Angeles.

Here's what he looks like:



His interesting features are his prick ears, boomerang-shaped brush tail, buggy-eyes, small feet and is somewhat lean/high-tuck. He's also got a double-coat, though he looks like a smooth-coated dog. He has an ordinary bark (no singing or baying and little howling). [edit: also fur between his toes!]

We got a canine DNA test kit for Banjo and hopefully the mystery will be solved...but in the meantime, we've got a pool to guess beforehand. If someone nails it, we'll figure out some appropriate prize...

I'm hoping Karena and Tracy (who both have known him) will take a stab at this.
My guess is corgi-collie...Roz has Lab-shepherd (classic mix!)...Steve is Corgi-Chihuahua.

Gosh, he looks so young in that lower left photo. Also like he's about to howl for food XD

My own bet is Shepherd/Golden, but that black on his tail is mysterious.

Oh you might also want to mention he has hair between his pads, I think that's sort of unusual but I'm not sure :)

My corgis grow hair between their pads - sometimes it needs trimming, if they don't wear it off walking on concrete sidewalks.
