I just don't think it has the look of a Spin, the ears, the expression etc. More than anything I'd say GWP!
If you stripped the hair off the "Spinone" in question, the face looks like a retriever type I think. The fur is a bit too much for a GWP cross, unless it was a GWP crossed with something very heavy coated.

More likely is a Labradoodlely type. I see a LOT of Labradoodlely types that look a lot like the dog in question.

no one on walks has ever known Fable to be an Spinone apart from one person who was also walking a Spin.. I use to get right ticked off with the prats thinking he was a labradoodle..Doesnt bother me anymore, just have to laugh

If people say "I like that dog because of its whiskers" and neither they nor the rescue understand that an IS is an HPR and thus probably have a strong hunting instinct, this could be a problem, for the dog and the home!
I thought this when I saw a dog listed as a Poodle cross on one site when I thought it was a Kerry Blue. I rang to say this as terriers quite different to Poodles and there is also a specialist breed rescue for Kerries where they would get it an experienced home. They said they knew it was a Kerry but had advertised it as a Poodle cross as they didn't think many people would know what a Kerry Blue terrier was!

It had been rehomed almost straight away-I just hope it went to the right home though.

On the other hand there is a Kerry Blue in rescue at the moment, which is being described as one!

It's difficult to say without seeing the whole of the dog but the coat definately looks like a black and white GWP, ears arent long enough for a Spinone.

I would stick my neck out and say she's a GWP.
