As to breed, it's a mystery. The page the Pasco shelter put up said "Japanese Spitz / Mix" which no one more recently seems to think is right. The rescue group put "Yellow Labrador Retriever, Whippet [Mix]," justifying the whippet or other sight hound on her relatively large rib cage. We're thinking Lab and Pharaoh Hound. But short of one of the $60 canine DNA kits... Yeah, it's a mystery.
Age is almost as mysterious. Pasco took her in on 7/30, and then recorded her DoB as 7/30/2008, as they guessed she was a year old then. I don't think that's at all right -- she seems younger than that by a fair piece. I think she looked so goofy in her shelter & rescue pages because her head was out of balance with the size of her body, and since then she's been growing into it. As the pic I just posted today shows, I think she's attained a certain elegance. I'll also admit bias, already. :)
