Breed ID help..

This 3 yr old male was just surrendered to us as a landseer newf cross by the owner yet his paperwork calls him a saint cross.

He's a MESS and getting groomed tomorrow so I can post better pictures then. What would you list him as?

More photos are here: Oso Photos

?? Not my strong point. But what a cutie.

Oooh, Diane

You're right, he is a mess. But, if he were a saint cross, he doesn't seem to have big enough jowels. The head looks a little more lab to me. How tall is he?

He looks like someone inflated a setter to me - but his medical records put him at 125lbs before he gained an extra unneeded 15 or so lbs. He's taller than my female newf - his head is at my hip....

I can't help much either here but I can't wait to see some photos of him all groomed, I bet he is gorgeous under all that mess.

springer spaniel mix?

I can see that in his coloring, but he has webbed feet and is a large dog.

Thanks!

He's so cute! I don't know what he is, but he sure is adorable!

If he was gold, he'd be a Golden Retriever. The whole facial expression looks Golden. (Goldens and Spainels also have webbed feet!!) The size is also indicative of a LB/GB cross. Lots of Goldens are close to 90 lbs or so...shouldn't be, but are.

Newf/Golden cross would be my guess.

I wouldn't be suprised if he was a Newf/Pyr mix. Take a look at http://members12.clubphoto.com/gomez594628/1239423/owner-b4a0.phtml - there are some Newf/Pyr mixes down near the end.

English setter/newf?

??????? springer,setter,newf mix??????

I could see snuggling up with him.....what a cutie even as a mess....

 

[Newfs Forever]

Ya, SAR, I thought that too, springer spaniel mix. But, Diane said this guy was about 125 lbs., so I didn't think he would be that big with springer. Heck, what do I know?

He just doesn't have the jowels of some of the working group. My berner girl has no noticeable jowels. Hmmmm, I am stumped.

I would guess Pyr./ Newf mix by the size and color but not newf/ lanseer mix.

 

[dovewit]

wow, i see possible clumber spaniel, possible springer spaniel... possible golden or some such large head.... newfie? i just don't know. isn't he small for a newfie cross?

[dovewit]

ooops, i see, 125 ok. he's big.

Maybe an english setter/newf mix or

english setter/flat coat mix???
