What is my dog breed? (Terrier & ??)

Hi guys!

We are trying to figure out what kind of dog we have. We just adopted him from a shelter. The shelter says he is a Terrier Mix. But we want to know if anyone knows what his other half is. Thank you all

Name: Hachi
Age: 1 year old
Weight: 26lb (he is medium size and will not grow any bigger)
Personality: energetic; very friendly; very curious (rarely response to us when taking outside)

Here are some of his photos: (We think his one half looks like border terrier because of his eyebrows and some tough fur on his back...but his other half is always a puzzle )

Well done for rescuing Hachi from the shelter! I can see what you mean about looking a bit like a Border Terrier in some of the photos but really have no idea what breed/s he is. He is just lovely!

Possibly others will be along shortly who have more knowledge than I, and in the meantime

Gorgeous looking dog. I agree about border terrier - that was my first thought. Looks quite leggy - bit of whippet perhaps?

So glad he's been rescued from the shelter.

Lovely. No idea. I see you've bought him a set of drums - he should like that!

lol, you are asking something there

We had an Airdale/Retriever/Boxer mix that looked very similar to yours, he was bigger though.

Could be anything in there

Such a lovely face, may you have many years together

Whatever Hachi is made up of, I can only confirm that it's all good What a handsome boy he is, loving his head which of course is border terrier, but the rest of him, I too can see lurcher, but then when I look again can I see gsd somewhere the legs, the sable colouring in them, that tail and the black shadow on his back? Dunno how that happened, but I can see gsd somewhat.

Yes he is quite leggy -- and he runs really fast in the dog park we would never catch him if he just runs away

Thank you so much Imana-Banana!

We looked up the images of Airdale/Retriever/Boxer mix and we do think he looks like them (especially the eye brows)!! How is your dog's personality ? Like, does he come when called in the beginning ?

Thanks Helena54!! In the beginning we saw gsd too especially the colors and the tail! (We were worried a little because gsd is forbidden in our apartment) We just looked up lurcher, the body shape looks similar. Are they pretty fast? (they look like they are)
