Brown tanpoint, long-coated - and BIG. Looks a lot like Hovawart, but they
don't come in brown and I don't think you have that breed over there. They
are not this big, either.

Brown has to be inherited from both parents, and there are not that many
big brown breeds. Newfie is, but they don't come in tanpoint and this one
doesn't look too much like a 1st gen Newfie cross. Malamutes have brown
too, but there is no way this a 1st gen Mal cross either. Border Collie
crosses (and Aussie Shep crosses) look often just like this, and the color
would be possible too, but the other partner of such a cross had to be
really big.

My guess: half Australian Shepherd, 25 % brown Newfie and 25 % about
anything, which is big but not super heavy.
