Really I've never been able to figure out his breed I've had a really old school biker that breeds brindles and stuff in Central Florida said he was a special dog but I never figured out anything about him he was totally abandoned by a family left in this crappy house that I was renting a room from at the time and when I went to get my own apartment the lady said you could take him with you and I was like I'm taking him and I took him and he literally changed my life he's such an awesome dog very smart he can hold his breath he can climb all he does is focus on smelling stuff now though but he's a great dog and thank you for the reference I didn't realize this
