Hi Debbie
I'd say he's part puffball and part adorable!  But, in all seriousness, he could be a number of breeds.  He's definitley a mixed breed of sorts.  If I were to go out on a limb, I'd venture to say that he's part collie (based on his fluffines and ears) and part lab?  But, he could also be at the other end of the spectrum and be a shitzu mix.  It's hard to tell from just the photo.  Can you give me some more background on him...how tall he is (approx), his weight, where he came from (I know it's from your husbands coworker, but on a farm, in a residential area etc.).  I will say that he looks to be about 8-10 weeks old.  If you can send me that other info at my personal address of countryside@itol.com, and we can work on it some more.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon! Hello Patty, My husband worker left for vacation. But i got some more pictures taken of my pup. Just go back to my webpage, and i hope you can get a better id on him. DEBBIE.

Hi Debbie-
I've done some more searching for your pup and the closest I've been able to come up with is a collie mix.  I found this picture of a pup that I think looks similar to yours.  Here's the link to it: http://www.puppyfind.com/?act=search&view_full=1&view_pic=1&subject=Collie&puppy (if the link doesn't work for you, try copying and pasting it...if that doesn't work, send me a personal email and I'll send you a copy of the page).  Go there and tell me if you think it does or not.  If not, then we'll try again.  Have you asked any of the other members here what they think he is?
Talk to you soon-
