Potluck is 5 months old and maybe a Schnauzer/Airedale/Old English Sheepdog mix, around 30 pounds. He'll likely keep growing a bit more since I have no idea what kind of concoction he is. He is getting better at housebreaking, but loves his crate and is crate trained, so no accidents there. He is playful, energetic, can jump really high, but can calm down after some exercise. Simply irresistible, and could use some basic puppy training.
