Skyler- what IS he?

A conformation picture would help :)

He's a really neat looking dog! I say part Akita too......that stands out to me more than anything else. I love the mixed breeds. I hear some of the DNA tests are getting better, have you thought about trying it out? I keep promising myself to research them and test a good one out on Ari. I would love to find out what he's mixed with. I KNOW he's got BC because of his movement, drive and the stare.

wow everyone! thanks for all the great guesses!
Skyler is about 47lbs.
His temperament is mellow, friendly and he is always thinking trying to figure things out.
He will herd anything that moves.

I don't see any bluetick as someone said, but I do see MAYBE a hint of smooth collie, some catahoula... possibly some sighthound in there somewhere to give him that type of build??? He is a good ol' classic mutt... Hahaha. The more breeds the better. It's more fun to guess. He is too cute. I TOTALLY see the BC in him. Oh, oh! Maybe some canaan dog? I LOVE his eyes. You definitely have a handsome boy there.
