Default Breed? future weight/size of rescue dog?

HELP!

Thinking about adopting a puppy. Currently estimated age 5-7 months
based on adult canine teeth, 22 lbs, listed as Brittany/Terrier X on
Petfinder. (not). We just received new pictures from the rescue and
she looks like a golden. We were in the process of arranging her
flight and adoption.


Please look at these photos and offer your opinions!

Estimates on adult weight and size? Possible breed mix? When do dogs
reach their full adult size?

Fast responses very much appreciated. THANKS

OK, based on being 6 months, plus or minus, I would venture to say the dog
won't get much larger than 35 pounds. I am making this rash prediction
based on the current size of the feet. The feet in the picture are pretty
much in proportion to the body right now. If this dog were going to grow
into a 60-70 pound dog I would expect to sse much larger feet.

As far as the what makes up the mix, I have given up making guesses there.
Unless someone actually witnessed or controlled the conception process, it
is difficult to say. Yes, it would be easy to jump at it meing a golden
mix, based on several observable characteristics. But, what difference does
it make? It looks like you have a lovable dog.
