"I have seen similar looking animals running loose on city streets in Italy and Mexico.

Throwbacks?

I agree. I saw similar dogs all over the Yucatan during my tours there. (smaller though)

I think Buddy is a mix somewhere,but he looks exactly like these dogs.

His intelligence surpasses that of my black lab.

Funny thing about his tail,it forms a perfect question mark when he's happy.
