Otis, 100% good boy

Otis is now 11 months old, roughly 60lbs and 27" at the shoulder. He has brindling on his head, face, shoulders, hips and  legs with black on his face and saddle. Soft grey undercoat and wiry black outercoat. Large rose ears.

The "coats and colors" website says : "Shorthaired dogs with furnishings produce a wiry coat with longer leg hair, coarse body hair and some beard and bushy eyebrows. The hairs along the dorsal line are sometimes slightly longer and coarser than on the rest of the body. The wiry texture is caused by thick and bent guard hairs that stick out away from the body."

This describes Otis' appearance.

Haven't really delved too deep into the various genes identified, will post more when I get a chance.

Surprised? By some things, yes. Surprised there's no sighthound in him, tbh. But there is scenthound, and pointer, which checks out.

Thoughts?

Just put it in the mail today, any guesses?

Otis is 10 months, ~55lbs and 26 inches at the shoulder.

Very chill in the house, works the ground like crazy on a leash, also loves a fast-moving object (even reflected light 🙄🤬). Prey drive is high, but he's quite biddable. Digs. Runs (gallops?) very fast.

Honestly, I'm thinking "lurcher" (sighthound x terrier) but we're in Canada so they're not as common here?

Kids have decided he's noodle x horse.
