The Dog Who Knew Too Much, by Spencer Quinn.

This is from a murder mystery series narrated by the detective's dog, Chet. Chet's human, Bernie, gets hired for a simple job: accompany the client, Anya, to parents' day at her son's camp, to help fend off her abusive ex's attempts at getting back together. But soon Anya's son is missing, there have been two murders, Bernie's being framed, and Chet is stolen by a rival detective.

Chet's point of view is focused on things that matter to him, like food and playing in the water. He'll quote what the humans say without necessarily understanding it. He's generally literal-minded: when another character says Chet is "on the ball," Chet is annoyed that he doesn't produce a ball.

This is one of the later books in the series. I assume somewhere in the earlier books Chet must have mentioned what breed of dog he is, and where they live, but all I got were vague clues about that. Chet was too busy sniffing out the clues to the mystery, protecting his beloved Bernie, and trying to behave professionally (if he could just control his tail).
