Hmm, he has nice forward facing triangular ears, which is asian-breedlike, but the rest of him screams a mix of a variety of everything. I can't pick out anything that would give a dominant breed!
I was also going to guess Yellow Lab x Husky... he's super cute! I see Husky, in the face, the eyes, the tail, and in the nose! He definitely has the Husky sleeping pose down in the first picture.
wow. first thing i ythought was he looks like a different coloured bsuetr with a long tail. they look a lot alike i reckon. but i'm guessing his breeding at kelpie, cattle dog with a bit of border collie and a bit of dingo. i was gonna say he might be part dingo but if your in chicago i doubt it,.

they arn't good pics. but i've seen him do the same things your dog does. and they have the same eyes.
