I think you've got yourself a real Heinz 57 there. Around here, there's coonhounds, and squirrel dogs (feists), and rabbit hounds, and all kinds of retrievers and bird dogs. Plus of course the stay at home chows and pit bulls. And around hunting season they all get lost and hook up and then when the females come home preggers, the pups are given away and those pups go on to hook up and their pups are given away - check out the paper sometime or the grocery store or feed store and see the ads "Pups, lab/feist cross, will be small (yeah, right)" Yeah, they have no idea of the parentage of those pups.
I have a friend who has a feist who looks very similar to your pup. There's different types, hers looks like a terrier/pittie/hound cross, about 40 pounds and very short and heavily muscled. He's 19 years old this year, and has never tasted kibble in his life. He eats whole chickens culled from the chicken houses, bull nuts, and kitchen scraps. He still runs around, hunts, and chases every single truck and car down their 1/4 mile driveway.
