Does it really matter? He's your pet, and he loves you no matter what breed he is!
You can ask a good breeder or vet on their best guess, but unless you've got papers from a known breeder, you will never know for sure.

The only certain way to know a dog's breed is to have its pedigree. Failing that, you an make a guess based on what it looks like, but since dog genetics are highly variable that's not a certain method. At this time there are no known genetic markers which can identify a specific breed.
He could, of course, also be mixed breed.
Age is estimated by looking at the amount of yellowing, wear, and tartar on the teeth; however this is only guesswork and not very accurate.

Go to the American Kennel Club link below and you can find pictures of all the breeds and probably find yours there. Click on the AKC RECOGNIZED BREEDS link.

Maybe a Min-Pin or Min-Pin mix. They come in rust, and can look similar.
