We picked up Rufie at the Pound 3 years ago and nobody including our vet is sure if he is one. Would anyone care to hazzard a guess? He weighs in at 105 lbs.Thank you very much.

Rufie is cute. He really doesn't look like a Labradoodle to me. His color markings make him look a bit like a border collie, but his coat and size suggest a standard poodle mix or some other large long haired dog eg. Pyrenean Mountain dog. He's got a great smile!

Thanks for the quick reply Susana. Well heck, Pyrenean Mountain dog still has a nice ring to it! He's still a bundle (big) of joy. Rufie the Mountain Dog! Sounds cool.

I was thinking collie also because of the markings on his face.

My guess would be - border collie x golden retriever (the smile is really a golden retriever smile ???)

But no, i do not believe he's a labradoodle

He looks like a mix of Australian Shepard & Curly Coat Retriever, but hey it's a guess. Nevertheless, he sure is cute. Very Happy

or maybe Australian Collie and Chesapeake Retriever? (the curly back makes me think Chessie)

Hi,
Weighing in at 105lbs does suggest a bulky dog like a golden retriever in his parentage! wow! But the 2-color face, which is so adorable is definitely from somehwere else....and who knows? the curls and the smiles are adorable!

you are welcome with your "Mountain Dog" anytime!

it does not matter what breed he is, you love him and he has got a good home, he looks so content, and I can understand why you love him
