Jack's Mum

:offtopic: Couldn't find the thread about the Dingos (which I found very helpful, by the way), so I've posted this with pics I hope, to get your opinions.
He is approx. a 5mth old pup & I've just re-homed 'Jack' from a Rescue Centre, west of Inverell NSW. I've had him for 2weeks now.
He was 'surrendered' because he was too big for a house dog .. he's supposed to be a cross Boxer, but I'm sure that was based solely on his colouration as there is very little 'Boxer' about him. He has long legs, flat feet, doesn't bark but will 'talk' when he wants to play etc. He's lean but very heavy & has a 'plush' sort of coat that is sandy coloured in the undercoat fur & a much longer tail than 'ordinary' tails on various cross breds & even many purebred dogs I've seen during my 'working days' as a Vet Nurse over 40 odd yrs.
Anyway, I expect he's a cross with some part being Cattledog, going on the speckles on his front legs. I'm waiting to see how his denture characteristics develop, as I believe there could be 'telltale' hints there, maybe. He has the most funny 'worry lines' on his flat-ish forehead when he's 'thinking', which seem to move his ears upwards at the same time .. such character in this pup .. I'm so glad I found him & have him part of my family!
Cheers & waiting for any replies & opinions.
Couldn't find my other pics, but this is so far the best one, taken 2 weeks ago. 47866
