Jofur's body is build in a very muscular way. He's a mix breed between some good guard dogs. He's well fed, he's not underweight, nor overweight. Jofur has rather small paws, with pink paw pads. His ears are natural, not cropped. And his tail is natural, not docked. He had wide shoulders, much like a pitbull. His face is more like a pitbull. With a box like muzzle, that's slightly pushed in like a boxer. Jofur's eyes are light brown. He an average height and weight for his kind of mix.
Jofur's pelt has some small, and some large spot on his body, mainly on his back and face. All the spots are brown brindle. His underbelly is pinkish, and around his nose is pinkish as well. He has no spots on his belly or legs. It's just white from there.
Personality:
Jofur is a very timid dog. Though he's shy, he's very sweet. When meeting a submissive dog, he'll let them know he won't harm them. And when meeting a dominant dog he's usually neutral. And if a dog is neutral he'll be as well.
If someone is dominant, he isn't afraid to stand up for himself, but other times, he'll submit. He always refuses to fight, unless it's completely necessary. Jofur got his timid ways from his father. And his spark to stand up for himself from his mother. He's a skilled fighter, but refuses to do so, mostly always.
Jofur is pretty selfish when it comes to food. He's not a joy to be around when he's hungry or when he has food. He gets snappy and nippy. He usually hunts for himself, but usually fails with larger and faster prey. He likes to fish more than go for land prey.
Jofur likes to swim; he likes to be around water. He's a good swimmer. But has a fear of waterfalls and extremely strong currents. And though he likes to be around water, he still loves to run around in forests or meadows. He has a habit of circling in circles before laying down.
History:
A professional dog breeder bred purebred Pitbulls and Boxers to sell to responsible pet owners. But a mistake was made one day when a male Boxer and a female Pitbull were together and bred. The breeder did not know about this until the pups were born and a few weeks old. The breeder did not want mutts and so she began to advertise the litter. People began buying them. And one person bought a male, and named him Bucky. It was Jofur. But his new owner raised him until he was 1 year, then his owner left him on the streets; homeless. Jofur, now being stray, changing his name. From Bucky to Jofur. He didn't like his old name, and adored the name Jofur.
Homeless on the streets of age 1, Jofur became skinnier. For he didn't know how to hunt. He did eventually meet other dogs. One was an elder Labrador mix. The elder taught Jofur how to hunt in forests. Jofur wasn't very good at it though. So the elder thought fishing would work and it did. After learning how to hunt the elder taught Jofur many other things. But the elder later died once Jofur turned 2 years old. And a half a year later Jofur is wandering around in the wilderness. He hopes to find others, and make allies. He doesn't want enemies, but that might just happen.
