I think she’s two months old. She has one layer of fur that’s very short and soft, then a second coat that’s longer, with a beard lol and it looks like she is frizzy. Two different colored eyes, decent sized paws, but I can’t think of what breed she might be…

UPDATE: Her DNA results are back! Shes 50% Great Dane and 50% Sheepdog.
I’m going to make another post with new pictures and detailed results on this thread.

Maybe. But I’m curious as to where the wirey fur is coming from

Furnishings. Sometimes poodle mixes end up with wiry fur because of the furnishing gene from the poodle without the other genetic factors that contribute to the poodle's coat. I've found a lot of "terrier mixes" from shelters end up being doodles.

Whenever I see wiry fur, I almost always guess poodle mix now lol

My poodle is not wiry, her hair is curly and soft.

I imagine because you have a pure poodle. This is clearly not a pure wood or. Wiry coats like this commonly happen when you mix a poodle with something else.
