Mathias is a handsome affection dog. We think he is a true mix breed, some kind of hound, not beagle. He does enjoy all the smells while on his walks. Has a few buddies he plays with and goes for walks with. We think Mathias is appropriately 3-3.5 years old, 23-25 #,he was found as a stray. He is good with small and larger dogs. He would enjoy a fenced in yard and going for good walks daily, loves hiking too. Does have a nose that he uses to stuff out the wildlife
