This is not a purebred dog.
It is a cross between two established breed. One of these is very common. The other is a bit tricky.
It is not a long-haired Labrador, a recreated St. John’s water dog, a smooth-faced doodle, or a Portuguese water dog with an “improper coat.” It’s also not a golden retriever/border collie cross.








I’m gonna say half Lab. But I can’t quite get the the other half. The feathering on the chest reminds me of another breed but it just won’t come to me.
Lab x Chessie
Looks like a black golden to me :O)
I am going with Lab/Chessie as well, that dog has a very Chessie face.
I cannot say why, but it reminds me of a Rottweiler cross.
Lab/australian shepherd cross. The eye set and muzzle are very australian shepherd to me.
I see rottweiler mixed with golden retriever. =D
I’m going to say Lab x…Mudi. Just because.
Curly cooted retriver X ?
Well…. shoot. I’ve had 3 dogs, no, four, who sort of looked like this, and you’re telling us it is not any of those mixes :
≠ flapdoodle, smooth faced
≠ labrapyre
≠ newfa-flap
≠ newfapyre
≠ goldenblacklabrachow
Okay, then, it is likely a bird dog with a black ancestor, crossed with… a terrier.
Since it has a good sized blocky head, it might be a lab, or a even a newf or half newf, (flapnewf?) crossed into a standard schnauzer.
Curly coated retriever mix?
possibly a chesapeake crossed with a flatcoated retriever ?
Collie/golden? Only saying because I’ve seen a few “gollies” and they ended up looking like lightly built black retrievers.
Just to be completely whacky and unexpected, I’m gonna go with golden retriever/pit bull.
Lab/Irish water spaniel?
Just to pick an odd option
Rottweiler Cross, but I don’t know what the cross is. Newfoundland maybe?
Golden/Newfie
I see Molossor features. And it looks similar to a Rotweiller cross we once had. It could be a Rotweiller and Spaniel cross or a Rotweiller and Golden cross. I can’t see the body, but if its a barrel chested big frame… maybe a Rotweiller and Newfoundland cross. ???
Just my 2 cents.
I have pics of a cross that looks just like this one from the front.
hummm I have a Portuquese water dog and a pit/boxer mix…..so i would think it is a portuquese/pit…my pit/boxer looks exactly like pic but no wavy hair.
Lab/cocker spaniel
or
Golden Retriever/Wheaten Terrier
Labrador x Setter?
could very well be a flat coated retriever. its a very old breed from england..
This post has already been answered. It’s a golden retriever/Wetterhoun cross.
I have a golden nufie that looks exactly like this dog. His hair is not quite that long yet, he’s just seven months.
