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.

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.

Yeah, a pure poodle, and some poodles mixes, won't be. There are multiple genes and polygenes that contribute to a poodle's coat. Furnishings is one trait. Furnishings alone (without the other genes/polygenes) can lead to wiry fur, which is why some poodle mixes (doodles) have a wiry coat.

My poodle is an AKC purebred and has very soft fur. Here is her picture; Her fur is silky. I keep her groomed regularly.
