What kind of pooch or doodle could this be?

[Huskins & Cheryl]

After 6 weeks, it's apparent that this guy is part of the family. Sure would like to know what he is though. Surely he is some kind of doodle! He certainly has some chompers on him and seems young, maybe 1 year old. His disposition is mellow, laid back, not much barking and very affectionate. He hardly sheds or smells at all. His hair is wavy and very soft with some wiry areas, like beard, eye and chest area. Huskins has a perfect light pink tongue, average size, with average black nose. He has a curled up tail, undocked. His coloring, with the black and tan, really throws me off. It reminds me of an airedale, but his head is bluish grey w/ tannish beard. I have been curious about the DNA kits. We will probably try one soon, not sure who is best to go with. He has his first vet visit Monday. Maybe he will have some good feedback.

DNA tests are thought by vets to be very inaccurate and could even be a scam....

Yes, others have guessed he may have some schnauz somewhere down the line. His head is slightly dome shaped though, not sure what dog has that trait. But for hair coloring on top of his head, it is similar to schnauzer.
