I'd definitely agree that it's a Pit Bull cross with a shepherd of some kind. The shape of the face definitely suggests Pit Bull to me, but I get more of a Belgian Malinois vibe from those ears:
Could explain why two hours at a dog park didn't crush his energy levels, Malinois are renowned and/or notorious for their exercise needs.
Maybe Belgian Shepherd, they have darker fur.
And they're friggin escape artists. If you thought huskies are good at escaping, you've never met a malinois. On the plus side, they're one of the most loyal dogs you'll ever meet.
Edit. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, malinois just take everything to the extreme. When they get excited, you've never seen a dog more excited. When they get protective, they're the most. And so on.
By that measure, you've never met an Akita.
That's a really good point.
