    The default street dog which I happened to just learn last week is called a Pariah dog.

    Many areas have what they call village dogs, they have a similar look for that area, but much different than a village dog in another country.

    They usually have very little in the way of Standard Breed dogs DNA and are distinguishes separately from a mixed standard breed.

    But because there is no breeder controlling traits they can vary a lot in appearance.

    here in argentina we call them galgos, i think galgos are an actual breed but we use it to mean those kinda skinny street dogs. we also say they are “marca perro” this means their “brand” is “dog”, brand is like a wordplay on the race in this case. so it would mean their race is dog, lol.

      I’m no biologist but it’s weird this doesn’t happen with cats. Stray/feral cats will be popping out kittens of every variety
