Jack Dandy is a very interesting combination of breeds, our best guess starts with something shepherdy- but on the small side at only 34 pounds- mixed with something Northern ( like Akita, husky,elkhound). He has a lovely disposition and is great with people; he is also on the quiet side- not much of a barker. He appears to do well with any dog he meets and we don't know about cats yet. JD is very active and playful and will need a home with an active person or family to channel his energy and intelligence.
