I'm with you on this. Cats that go wild definitely don't look like housecats after a while. Been some local speculation that the Maine Coon Cat has Bobcat in their genes.
These fellas here look just like any Third World mutt. Maybe the INS has been goofing off ... again.

Hey!!! Great to see this thread going again!!!
Since I'm a rather notorious tightwad,I'm wondering if I could get one of these dogs on the cheap...maybe a dish of bacon grease and bread on the back porch would work???

It is my suspicion that he is a dixie dingo.
His owners are not sure of his ancestry.
They had him fixed right when they got him from the shelter.
The Smithsonian Article we found about these dogs said they were first noticed around Savannah River nuclear power plants.(In the buffer zone).
Another pic of Buddy with Katie Scarlett, the black lab.

"It is my suspicion that he is a dixie dingo." Maybe. He may not be 'lanky' enough to qualify. LOL, your dogs are as fat as mine.

" LOL, your dogs are as fat as mine." It's funny, after a weekend of camping and hiking, they have a 2 day recovery period.

"All dogs go to heaven, bump." Indeed. I would not mind going to doggie heaven. (bump)

While I don't think Buddy is pure Carolina dog, he does seem to share some traits; His erect ears, question mark tail posture and color.
He also is very intelligent, and doesn't bark at every coon or possum that might visit the camp site.

"You might remember an old movie, "Old Yeller", the star of which must have been one of these."
Nope. Ole Yeller was a different breed entirely.
Ole Yeller was a breed that comes from florida, originally. It goes by different names.
Yellow cur dog
Florida black face
Black faced cur
Yellow black faced cur
Florida cur
etc
They are prized for boar hunting, as is the catahoula leppard dog.
To: blam
They don't look like labs to me. They look like they might be part german shepherd, or maybe part sled dog.

"Buddy and Katie getting some Ice cream." Beautiful, healthy looking dogs. Great! (you can see mine on my profile page)

Do you live in australia? Or do you mean a "dixie dingo"?
To: blam
Thank you. Buddy actually belongs to a couple that are good friends with Miss VC and I.
Katie Scarlett, the black lab, is our own spoiled rotten"thinks she's human" dog. But they have grown up together from puppies.
I have seen your doggies before, they are very happy dogs!!
A solid truth my Granny taught me 30 years ago; "Anyone who is loved by a dog cannot be a bad person."

The origin of my "dog" is a long tale (pun intended) in itself. It was all with the best of intentions and was supposed to be a short term thing.
The dog is 100% American made but is from imports, someone who thought they could make money breeding them for sale.
Not a chance.
These dogs are many things but average housepets is not one of them. In my case anyway. I will try to post a pic of her sometime in the next few days.
Although Dingos are not for everyone, she has overall been a good dog, amazingly patient with kids and God help the guy who gets into my backyard with her. I would not reccomend them to everyone but someone who has the time and patience will be rewarded with a truly different experiance.
Cheers,
knews hound
To: viligantcitizen
I'd say your dog, buddy, is likely part akita.

It's been a while, let's bump this out again.
