Identify breed please

[Kittman]

It looks to me like it could be a Flat-Coated Retriever.

[Curly]

Do you have any other pics? Looks like a lab to me.

Wachtelhund. No doubt. Used for hunting pigs in Europe, among other things. I believe this is where Boykin spaniel derived from.

When was the photo taken? Before 1915 or after?

Does your father remember if the dog had a split nose? If so it could have been a Catalburun.

If no location was placed on this however I would guess a young lab. But Armenia...it could be anything.

Look hard at the photo and you will see a tight curley coat with somewhat wavy hair on the ears; thus my previous guesses. Personally, I find the several Lab guesses unlikely because of the coat. In the olden days, duck hunters thought little of crossing two great waterfowl dogs with a total disregard for breeds. The dog may very well be such a cross…Lab/Water Spaniel? I don't think we will ever get a diffentive answer, but all the speculation is not without amusement.

Munsterlander. Very popular hunting dog in europe.

[Curly]

I don't see a curly coat, but I guess it's possible.  I am just not seeing it....

Sadly no other pics, but my father confirmed the dog is very young in the picture, but wasn't sure of the exact age.

If I had to guess I would say water spaniel, curly coated retriever, boykin spaniel, musterlander or lab lol I know that's a lot of options but pretty tough to tell :-P
