He looks like he could be a terrier/shepherd mix of some sort, however there are cheek swab and saliva tests that can be done to determine breed make up of your dog. Most vets and some pet stores carry them and they're easy to do at home if you're really curious. As for the eating with you watching, it could be that Max feels more comfortable having a buddy "looking out" for him, especially if he is a rescue. You can work on this by gradually standing further away each day when you feed him to help him adjust.
