I believe it’s a Canaan dog, from the Middle East
Gray/brindle or all white coats disqualify the dog.
The coat pattern shown looks to be predominantly white with the mask and large body patches of color. Gorgeous animals, by the way.

Australian Shepherd? Saddled coat.
I am knowledgable of my own dog’s breed(s), (Bichons, Danes and Sheps) but I was curious.
Beautiful dog, lovely face, great stance, silky coat, spry tail and eager gait.

Breed.. Canaan dog
Origin… The Canaan Dog began in ancient times as a pariah dog in Israel. This dog is one of the oldest, dating back to biblical times.
The Canaan Dog was the guard and herd dog of the ancient Israelites, guarding their camps and flocks. They were plentiful in the region until the dispersion of the Israelites by the Romans in the 2nd century. As the Hebrew population dropped, the majority of the dogs sought refuge in the Negev Desert, a natural reservoir of Israeli wildlife. Avoiding extinction, they remained undomesticated for the most part, although some lived with the Bedouins and earned their keep by guarding the herds and camps. Some were also guards for the Druze on Mount Carmel.
They survived this way until Dr. Rudolphina Menzel came up with the idea to use these intelligent scavenger dogs mainly found in the desert, as guard dogs for the scattered Jewish settlements. She initiated a selective breeding program to produce the breed known today as the Canaan Dog.
Coat Pattern… 1) Predominantly white with mask and with additional patches of color
2) Solid colored with white trim.
Disqualifying coat color/pattern… a) Gray and/or brindle. b) All white.
