The dog is male it's a good dog doesn't bark alot just when you come near the dog house to feed or water him. He suppose to hunt rabbit I think but he's never been taken out in woods to hunt. Don't know how long my brother has had dog but he's a good dog. I walked him before and he doesn't like stopping like he's hunting for something I can say that. Free to good home. If interested call or text # click for number. Thanks for looking.
