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.

How does Border-Poodle sound? Hmmmm...

Well...I can't say that he looks like a Labradoodle to me...but he sure is a beautiful dog!

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.

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!

he's lovely! & and as soon as I saw his photo I saw the Collie in him!
He's certainly a collie cross, but what with? your guess is as good as mine :?:

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
