Hi there-
I haven't posted much as I've been busy searching for the 'perfect' dog and I think I may have found her.
I'm curious to get your input as to what kind of mix you think she is. The rescue society where she is currently says she's ~3m old, weighs about 25lb (but she's thin), and says her coat appears to be non-shedding which would suggest standard poodle.
When I first saw that tongue- I instantly thought Newf. What do you all think?
Thanks in advance ;)
Mel

She looks standard poodle-ish to me. She may be one of those "designer" mixed poo breeds that many people buy on impulse and then give up.
She has a bit of a Lab/Poodle mix look about her to me.

Going on just the shape of the body, b/c I can't see the head very well, I would have to agree with the poodle mix comment.

The others may be right but she looks to me she could be a Portugese Water Dog. There's one @ our local dog park that looks just like your pic.

Thanks for all your help.
We have a home visit tonight and then if all goes well, this is the tricky part as we ned to fence in one side of our yard-we might get to meet her tomorrow.
Thanks again!

Got me by the big toe. Cute dog though.

They will be going into resuce alot because the doodle fad seems to be slowing down.
I agree with this and it's sad... but I have to say I laughed outloud when I read, "...the doodle fad seems to be slowing down." Calling it the doodle fad just cracked me up.
That said, I have no idea. I would guess a poodle mix, but I've never seen a PWD. I did meet a curly haired retriever last night that was very poodle-looking (and a cute Leonberger who's mom was suprised I could identify him). LOL

Does look somewhat like a Portuguese Water Dog! Hard to tell by picture though...I would certainly say its got a lot of poodle somewhere in there….
whatever…sure is cute!! :)

It could just be the way the hair looks in the pic, but I don't think it looks much like a PWD. I also think it's nose is too pointy for that breed. As far as I know PWD's aren't larger than standard poodles, at least not the one's that I've seen. ;) Besides, I would have to go with the more commenly dog seen in shelters, and that would be your poodle type. :)
whatever she is, she is adorable. Let us know how it turns out.
