With the color I would want to say is a Golden retreiver, looks like it has a bit of spaniel mixed in. Great looking dog

my guess

Nova Scotia Duck Toller cross, some can be rather blonde and the size is right for a younger pup.

happycats - I am with you. The gorgeous pup's face looks just like Elmo the Eskimo's face - but surrounded by yellow retriever fur - and of course different ears. But the face - as soon as I saw it. Elmo is a good looking guy!

I would agree with the Toller assessment, if I could get a side view of the head. Face on, i don't think there is a lot of Toller in her/him.
I'm thinking it would be more likely to be a spaniel/retreiver cross.
(I want to breed Tollers in a few years, so I pay ALOT of attention to details. lol)

I'd go with the Duck Troller on physical looks alone but on colour it seems a little too blond.

Thanks for the great answers! I was guessing he/she has some spaniel mixed in, because he has the same smile and ears as my cocker mix puppy.

Here's a close-up of my little Leon at 7 m/o (don't have a picture of him smiling unfortunately)
