Is there a universal dog breed that looks similar to the Kintamani dog

Is there a universal dog breed that looks similar to the Kintamani dog?
I live in Indonesia and for my whole life I've had kintamani dogs, from the town Kintamani on the island of Bali. I'm going to go back to Japan to live there, but the kintamani isn't a universal breed so I won't be able to get one unless I import. So I decided that I want to get a DIFFERENT BREED that looks like a kintamani. Does anybody know any?

There is no such breed as a Kintamani, it is still being evolved for acceptance. All breeds recognised in their home country are officially listed by the FCI: http://www.fci.be/nomenclatures.asp?lang=en&sel=0 and it's not there. I could find no web-site for the All Indonesia Kennel Club, just the e-mail-address perkin@centrin.net.id. I have no idea what "universal breed" is. Perhaps you meant a "recognised breed"? Allegedly, it stems from the Chow Chow, and genetically it apparently does have distant links. But it is claimed to be genetically very closely related to the Australian Dingo, an alleged ancestor of the Australian Kelpie; the working version of the Kelpie is often jet black, but never white. Its coat is not as long as a Kintamani. So start by looking at photos of Chow Chows and of Kelpies. I gather that the dog is nearest to the molossus/molosser dogs in type (although apparently used as a sacrificial beast in the Hindu religion), so you could do a web-search on those words and see what turns up, if neither Chows nor Kelpies suit you.
