its usually not the breeding for tameness that makes a dog change colours but the colour preference of the breeders: thais prefer white dogs. they dont like black dogs. its is possible that a calmer more domesticated type human oriented nature comes with white genes but i doubt it... most bankews are the same personality all over : protective, primitive in action, not to human pleasing -oriented...
tameness and domestication are two different things. one is a genetic prediliction the other (tameness) comes from exposure and handling, even among non domestic animals. (im pedantic about the differences but it is important ot understand when dealing with dog breeds like bangkews and dingos and canaan dogs etc... that are considered primitive domestic breeds i.e. prototype dogs, as regards to colouration, actions, breeding habits, body type and physiology and morphology...

Thanks very much to all who replied!
We ended up getting a male Bangkaew from a breeder in Chaing Rai. Excellent temperment - no signs of stress with this dog. He's ~16 weeks old now and his balls have just begun to drop so figure he's healthy. He is all white with just a bit of brown shading around the ears. I wonder how prevalent with Bangkaews that color is? Good watchdog too but loves to dig!

white with various markings seem to be the most prevalent although I have seen a few all brown ones and a beautiful all black one. The original Bangkaews were black but it seems to be that breeding for tameness has made them white - as what happened with the taming of Siberian foxes.
Make sure to post some photos!
