(There's actually a longer background story to this, but I'll save it for later.) This isn't my dog and it's the only photo I have so I apologize for how tiny it is. I believe this to be the father of my dog, who is half collie.
The mother was a collie we adopted. (Vet said she was fixed.)
Ranger (the result of my collie and I believe this dog) has personality traits I've read for
Newfies. She loves to swim in our pond and has actually retrieved birds for us, despite a total lack of training. (The neighbor's clucking chicken and our own duck to be exact)

That was the only dog that could possibly Ranger's father.

Does it look like a Newfoundland or possibly a mix?

I have looked up Newfoundland - Collie crosses and came across a Marty who looked almost exactly like my Ranger. (I don't remember what site I found Marty on.)
Marty (male):



Ranger (female):



Thank you.

hard to say, I can't see the face.  It could be a newf....

Thank you.

I don't really see newfoundland in any of the dogs. I see more like Slauki (sp) and border collie. Maybe even some labradore in there.
