What kind of dog do I have?: What kind of dog did we adopt? Anybody?

» bishopmom - What kind of dog did we adopt? Anybody?

We adopted an adult dog from our local Humane Society. He was picked up as a stray, but he had a collar with no tag, was neutered, and was well cared for. The Humane Society said he was the greatest dog in their facility. We didn't know what they meant, but they were dying for us to choose him. Now I know why! We quickly noticed that "Jed" was waiting on something. When we got him out of the car, he sat at the end of our sidewalk and stared. I patted my leg and he came to my foot and sat down and stared again! Well, we've since discovered that when we do different things with our hands, he does a trick! He's amazing. I'm trying to figure out how to post his photos. (Any help?) He is a dark brown color, but when an individual hair is examined, the tip is grey? He has a very symetrical pattern, white muzzle, tail tip and chest, brown spots on his white feet. His ears fold. His eyes are almond shaped and ooze a bit at times. He weighs about 60 lbs. He is extremely intelligent. I never saw such intelligence in a dog! Thank you for your help! :o)
