I love his face - very distinctive - he's obviously a proud dog, and I'm guessing stubborn. I've very recently saved a pup from a litter of 8 on an Indian reserve. He looks a lot like the ridgeback posted... but we have no idea what his breeds are. its great to see so many on this forum with similar values!!
Great looking dog, congrats Scott. Can't wait to get a pooch of my own, just gotta figure out wether I'm moving soon or not. Don't wanna adopt a dog and then have to uproot and travel cross country.
