actually my first dog as an adult I think was a mix with one of those,
mostly beagle, but had the dobe look and colot.
tough as nails, got in a fight with a huge copper head, and walked away,
almost died that night but live till and RX7 did him in
almost 18 years ago and still miss him
sucker could climb a ladder, and swim like my lab. and watched the kids better than a baby sitter,

I remember walking him one night he walked up to me with dollar bill in his mouth.
smartest dog I ever met.

If your dog was smart and looked like that, it likely had a lot of minipin in it. Minipins can be extraordinarily smart. I miss my Thor baby. I had him trained to go to the litterbox, and had him doing 5 obedience tasks at the age of 1 year. If I had more time with him, I bet I could have entered him into obedience contests.
