Actually I think this is a Cur. They often have light brown fur with a blackish nose and short floppy ears.

My first dog was like that. It just said mutt.
That my friend, is a good boy.
The default street dog which I happened to just learn last week is called a Pariah dog.
It's probably not a breed. Breeds are something people, in certain countries, have artificially made and enforced in recent history. Otherwise, dogs are just dogs.
I'm also hasitent to call it breed but I don't know the right word to put on the title since English is not my native language, what type of dog maybe?
You're using the right word, the above comment is referencing the idea that "breeds" aren't natural. It's something humans made up because they keep inbreeding dogs to get particular looks.
Mongrel
Bitsa.
Bits of this, bits of that. Some call them Indian Pariah dogs but just free-roaming dog or street dog also works - they're not confined to a breed
But in EU and US, you don't really get free-roaming dogs.
SE US got feral Carolina dog populations.
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.
That's some really cool word play :)
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.
soi dogs in my country
unrestrained street fucking creates very mixed mongrel pups
or Standard lssue Cat but for dog, Standard lssue Dog?
You can call him Sid
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
Looks like part red bone coon hound perhaps.
Why, that's a Doggo Goodaboyis, of course!
Mutt, or heinz 57, basically a mixed breed.
I believe that's either a firulais or an askal
