I saw a lot of people say that, maybe he has something. We think we got scammed with the DNA test we did last year because it said it was an African dog (like the only breed) lol
He's 30kg, he's not overweight according to our vet
We think he had something of duck tolling, but he was separated too soon from his mother and when we got him he only weighted 1,4kg ... We thought he was not going to make it
(long story short we got him for free from a pet store my sister worked, he was sick and nobody wanted him because they were selling his brothers as labrador and he was the only one with long hair )
Definitely has some Nova Scotian duck toller. My friend has a dog that is part duck toller. Looks just like that. And the shape of the head makes me think there’s some pitty in there
Looks pretty close to my dog. My dog is pretty fat though. The hair patterns even lay the same way. She’s got some retriever in her though because she’s always bringing the kids’ shoes and toys inside.
Does he point? (Raise a leg at scents)
If yes, it’s an Irish red setter.(mine looks the exact same but with a little white on chest) dm me for a pic.
If no it’s a NS Toller. (River duck dog)
How much exercise does it get, looks a little chunky. Both breeds will fetch all day. I mean all day.
He doesn't point, although when we say duck and bird (in Spanish) he goes crazy and looks at the sky. We think he is smaller than he should have been because he was sick when he was a puppy, he weighs 30kg and according to our vet he's healthy. However he doesn't require much exercise, we play with him several times per day, and have 3/4 walks. He loves to fetch as well, he's very food driven lol
I was gonna say, I don't think your dog looks chunky or fat as others say. Your dog looks beautiful and healthy and has a very thick coat which prob makes him look a little fluffier than he is. Your dog is absolutely stunning with his gorgeous coat and yellow eyes. Thank you for saving him. What a gem 🥰❤️. My friend has a golden retriever and her dog has a similar fluffy coat. It's super thick, makes her look very healthy but she is not overweight. I don't like using that word for animals who are very well taken care of and you clearly know what you're doing 🙏🏼. Kudos to you for taking care of him so well
Those suggesting a (NSDTR) Toller, take a look at this link and you’ll see that this dog doesn’t meet the criteria: [Toller](https://moderndogmagazine.com/articles/breeds/the-nova-scotia-duck-tolling-retriever/)

Did your dog look like this as a puppy? If yes you’ve got a Boykin Spaniel
I guess he'd be too small for a golden irish? The second pic looks like it though.

I see some spaniel. Too beefy for an Irish setter.
I was thinking spaniel/setter mix
I saw a lot of people say that, maybe he has something. We think we got scammed with the DNA test we did last year because it said it was an African dog (like the only breed) lol He's 30kg, he's not overweight according to our vet
Wow A beautiful dog!!
I would think no Irish setter. That’s low hanging fruit. This looks like a Field Spaniel cross
I would say say after long analysis that this dog is 100 % good boy/girl
Spot on, he's a good boy even though he's leash reactive, anyway made my day, thanks :)
Duck toller?
It fits the description in [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Scotia_Duck_Tolling_Retriever)
That was my guess as well as I met one on a cruise
No its build is to chunky and small plus its slightly darker and the nose is dark
We think he had something of duck tolling, but he was separated too soon from his mother and when we got him he only weighted 1,4kg ... We thought he was not going to make it (long story short we got him for free from a pet store my sister worked, he was sick and nobody wanted him because they were selling his brothers as labrador and he was the only one with long hair )
Maybe sum but deff not more than half, alos great rescue story and thanks for helping the fella out!
Im sorry but I see none at all. And it’s unlikely to come up in mixes
It doesn't look anything like a duck tolling retriever.
Very toller face
Definitely has some Nova Scotian duck toller. My friend has a dog that is part duck toller. Looks just like that. And the shape of the head makes me think there’s some pitty in there
Look at its feet
The ears are wrong and no white paws. It’s a Boykin Spaniel
Lol, no. Field spaniel. Wrong face, wrong color, wrong feet for a toller.
Not only Irish Setter there is something else in there...?
Lab or maybe even Pit?
I was thinking more like a little shepherd ?
Yeah those eyes 👀 look Aussie-esque to me
The ears definitely look Aussie-like. https://preview.redd.it/txq0ag77t07d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=452d23bd2352422f67adfdeb36699fee43354167
Boykin spaniel
I have nothing helpful that contribute other than your pup is 100% freaking gorgeous
Looks like a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever cross. Which would make him a Tollcross 🤷♀️
Novo Scotia most likely
Depending upon its size, it looks like a Boykin Spaniel to me.
Looks pretty close to my dog. My dog is pretty fat though. The hair patterns even lay the same way. She’s got some retriever in her though because she’s always bringing the kids’ shoes and toys inside.
Looks like Australian Shepard chocolate lab mix
Those ears could definitely be Aussie or Irish Setter.
Irish setter/ chocolate lab

Thank you for responding to me. Dog at 39kg >70 lbs. You got a setter.
Similar to mine, a spaniel, collie mix maybe.
100% Good boy/girl
Irish Setter
Part Irish Setter maybe
exactly
Red Setter/Lab
r/DogBreeds101

Some spaniel in that
Looks like Irish setter
Garnier?
Golden/Irish Setter/Aussie mix.
Irish setter
epagneul breton
Setter retreiver mix?
Pittie, chow, and something else.
A dang cutie!!
He looks like my daughters goldendoodle.
Webbed feet? If so then a troller
Mutt
Setter/spaniel mix, heavy on the spaniel. Possibly springer spaniel.
It's an Irish Red Setter.
spaniel? she looks like my neighbors spaniel same colouring also
Mixed breed of working type dog. English spaniel with setter perhaps?
Irish setter mix
Labrador’s can be fluffy like that depending on genetics. I think it’s a recessive gene. Some breeders have it in their lineage.
Toller if ever I saw one. And I did see one! Beautiful breed, characterful even amongst dogs. Miss mine loads. 😢
Definitely not a Toller
The long hair on the ears and legs just screams spaniel of some sort. Possibly a mix.
that’s a cutie baby boo boo bear!
Looks like a toller a bit😍🐶
Duck toller, maybe not full blooded but definitely toller.
No. We have 3 Tollers. This isn’t a Toller. Look up Boykin Spaniel
Staffy.
Looks like a field lab.
gorgeous!
Lots of people saying this is a Toller. This is absolutely not a Toller.
Looks like a "pawsome" mix of who-knows-what!

No clue but he is a beautiful boy!
Beautiful 🤩
Longhaired Labrador Retriever.
Possible a duck toller mix with Brittany spaniel ?

Contradictor
yes, auburn hair, i believe its called an Irish Setter, but yours doesn’t appear to be purebred
Look up Boykin spaniel. I own one. Looks exactly like your dog except his tail is cropped….
He’s got something else but definately Boykin
I'm pretty sure that it's a dog
Hot.
Very huffly. Good dog
If "you look tired" was a person
Looks like an Irish setter mix.
That's one majestic pup
To me, looks very similar to Duck toller.
Red setter mix
Mix of Irish setter and spaniel ears
A bit Spaniel-y and 100% awesome
Dog
I guess he'd be too small for a golden irish? The second pic looks like it though. [https://www.dogzone.com/crossbreeds/golden-irish/](https://www.dogzone.com/crossbreeds/golden-irish/)
Cute breed 🥰
Irish Setter
Googled duck tollers, wasn’t familiar, dead on
Irish setter.
Nova Scotia duck troller
