We've just adopted our second dog from our local Humane Society this past weekend and are trying to figure out what his breed is.

He is around a year old and weighing in at 40lbs. He has soft golden fur with white crest and paws. The Humane Society said he is a Golden Retriever mix.

Can the experts around here help us with guessing his breed?

Yes..

His ears are shorter tho than regular Golden and his face is boxier I think.

But I kinda clueless when it came to recognizing different breeds.

I too think there's a herding breed in there. However, I also think he's cute Kudos for rescuing him

Such a cutie! He looks a lot like my Charlie, deceased now, except Charlie had a brown nose. We called him the "miniature Golden" as he clearly had a golden parent and probably a terrier. But Charlie's legs were more terrier looking. Thanks for taking him!

Gorgeous.
Have to agree on the Golden part. That would be my first guess.
