Precisely John. The term used to describe the Canaan Dog, my -Dingo-ish- dog, and, in some circles, my little American Eskimo/Pit mix, who looks very little like either, is Pariah Dog. Let all all dogs breed together for only 400 years and they would all have many of the same physical and color characteristics as the Dingo, Carolina Dog, Pharoah Dog, and the Canaan Dog. Even the Malamutes, Akitas and Huskies would end up being "assimilated" into Pariah Dogs.
