I noticed that Chloe mentioned Basenjis and I just couldn't help but pipe up. The classic Belizean dogs, one type of which looks just like ArtZ's dog are called 'pariah dogs' in Africa and many countries in the East. The Basenji is one type which has now been bred specifically for it's look....and one other thing...It is barkless. Interestingly it has been said that the Mayan people had a barkless dog at one time. There aren't many barkless dogs in the world, probably about three that we know of. Following the history and movement of domestic dogs sometimes leads down interesting anthropological paths.
