It would be ironic, if there's poodle in there. My hubbie doesn't consider a poodle a "real" dog. Now that you mention it, the muzzle does look like a poodle. Collie? Or are they even narrower? I agree he's a much more lightweight and "up" dog than our known newfie mix, who's sort of square and squat. The little one jumps straight up in the air when he's excited and it's difficult to imagine our newfie mix's paws ever leaving the ground.
