My dog Biff is 5 as well. He's a hound mix, I'm not 100% sure but I'm leaning towards him being majority Plott Hound.

He's cool looking looks like he's wearing a tux

Haha, yeah he does look a little dressed up....it's part of the reason I picked him out. He was in a litter of 7 and his brother was the total opposite of him brendle all over with a white chest and his sister looked exactly like him but I wanted a male dog so I picked him out. He has some brendle "lapels" on his tux (if you will) and the funny thing is everytime a black guy saw him whether we were at PetSmart or at the dog park they would say "Man, he looks like he has some Pit in him, he's got them tiger stripes", but for a while before his snoot grew out I did wonder if he was part PitBull. I got him when he was a tiny little pup, maybe a couple months old. he was maybe 3-5 pounds when we got him and now he's a hair over 60 but still very lean, he's maybe 2 feet tall at the shoulder. He's really well trained, I never had any trouble with him going in the house, he was basically housebroken when we got him because he had such obvious tells. He is a very laid back and relaxed dog as you would expect any good Southern Hound dog to be , but when he was ready to go he'd get really wild and after doing that he'd piss so I put 2 and 2 together and when he started "acting up" I would take him outside and bang problem solved. He was also crate trained which I cannot tell you how important that is...he loved his kennel, he'd go in there if he was scared of a thunderstorm or if he had been bad and gotten punished he'd go pout in there or if he wanted to have a treat and be alone he'd go in there, he loved that kennel, but he has a gigantic bed now so I'm sure he's over it. He also loves rolling in the dirt and also laying in the sunshine...stereotypical southern hound dog.

How about your pup?

Cool man, thanks for sharing. We got Vishnu when he was only 8 weeks old, his ears were the same size as the are now. There was a litter of 6 puppies and he was passed out while we were there so we picked him. He's super submissive around other dogs and cats so he gets along with pretty much everybody. It was really easy to house break him, and get him to walk to the side of me instead of ahead of me. He's actually a long, short dog so he naturally sits all the time, so that was easy too. We tell people he's part cow, because of the cow spots and the fact we don't know what else he is. He hates when skaters ride by our house and he barks like mad at them, but that's about it.
