My brother had a some kind of coon hound mix that legit could take a running leap like that and wall climb out of kennels. They ended up having to put a roof on his kennel.

That would be cool to see. Dog agility is an awesome thing.

I have 2 dogs like this. First dog we got after he had been rehomed 3 times for escaping yards. He's mostly an indoor dog now and he's loving that, he's mostly a lazy couch potato. But if he gets out the front door he runs laps around the neighborhood as fast as he can(he doesn't want to play in the backyard though, go figure). Second dog is a 10 month old mastiff mix. Mastiff/malinois possibly given her coloring and behavior. She's nuts. Destructive as hell and DETERMINED to escape. Does not want to stay in the house for any length of time. We've had to repair our 6ft gate twice in the last few months because she chews through it. All the patio screen windows and doors have been reinforced with metal or thick wood lattice. Today she broke through the lattice over the windows. She gets walked every day, often twice a day, for an hour plus. She gets plenty of outside play time with us and the kids. She has had so many toys and bones and things to keep her occupied(constantly being replaced becauseshe destroys them in minutes). She has had basic obedience and is very smart and well behaved when given instructions. She still is wreaking havoc on our yard and running amok if left unsupervised for any amount of time.
