What type of dog is this?

someone posted this on facebook and i dont agree what breed he said it was.

Looks like a Dogue de Bordeaux? Might be wrong though

looks like a bull mastiff x dogue de bordeux ?

Cant see pic

you need to sort it out mr andy go into your firewall setting

ok i move it on photobucket

looks like a Dogue de Bordeaux to me.

I thought Dog de Bordeaux too

the bloke said it was american pitbull terrier i said that a mastiff cross he said no it's a 100% pit

Cheers boss, can see it now

Wow ... lovely looking lad ... difficult from just one angle, but I'm seein Dogue de Boreaux and Shar-pai

One thing its defo not and thats a pit bull nice dog though

It looks like a Bullmastiff crossed with a Dogue de Bordeaux, I don't think its one breed. Why, what did he say it was?

No it's deff a dogue de bordeaux a couple live down the road from me and they are lovely friendly dogs

the bloke said it was a american pitbull terrier

Haha lmao that is in no way pit that guy seriousely needs some educating plus a few slaps perhaps its a dogue de boreaux

Its not just DdB, the snout is too long

the bloke said it was american pitbull terrier

Oh sorry I didn't see your post. Seriously? Wow what an idiot. Pitbulls are small, sinewy dogs, You should print a picture off from the pitbull forum and post it to him.

Its not just DdB, the snout is too long

D
And yeh what Andy said. Ddb have more bulldog like faces then other mastiffs. I think this dog is better looking then the average Dbd.

Exactly what I thought.

OMG a pitbull !!!

Def a DDB x don't know what with tho.

Whatever it is, it's not for me

Looking at the picture I'd say a Dogue de Bordeaux due to the colour, I'd say though that it's crossed with a Bullmastiff as the face is very similar

DDB X American bulldog would be my guess

Dogue de Bordeaux aka French Mastiff.
Pretty obvious, they're the only huge ginger thing in the "mastiff" type group >D

Yeah APBT!! ... exactly the same

Made me giggle ^^

Urgh I cringe at those cropped ears, why must people do that, Pitbulls have lovely ears.

it was done to stop fighting dogs bleedy to death.

Stopped le pups bleeding to death in the ring, when they were fought. Or should I say, it lessened the chance of their ears being torn off. Poor babies.
But sometimes it's just people's cup of tea these days. I have no preference tbh.

Not a chance! It looks very much like the dog down the road to me. He's a Bull Mastiif x Neapolitan Mastiff.

I most definitely have a preference! It's totally barbaric!

I would say a Mastiff cross

Looks like a ddb x to me.

Totally agree with the point on the ears being cropped doesn't look right at all not to mention the cruelty of it.

Definitely a Dogue de Bordeaux mix of some kind. That is in no way an APBT.

I, personally, hate ear cropping and tail docking, but it is not only done for fighting. Just look at all of the American Staffordshire Terriers shown in the AKC. Most have ears cropped and none are used for fighting.

At least in the UK it's illegal.

it was done to stop fighting dogs bleedy to death

I know why its done I mean why do people continue to do it just for looks. Its disgusting. The only dogs that should be cropped are hog hunters.

Rubbish. That head is definitely 'mastiff'

Even that wouldn't be allowed in the Uk thank God!

BTW what are hog hunters? Why on earth should humans change anything surgically on a dog (or any other animal). Perhaps we should give human babies belly rings to spare them doing it in their teens?

The way it is done today Hog Hunting is disgusting and cruel to both the dogs and the hogs. It should be illegal. Ear cropping and tail docking should be illegal in the US, it is cruel and unnecessary. It's illegal in Finland, as well, I was so happy to see Boxers and Rottweilers with tails this summer. :-)

Tail docking is a must in some cases.
I grew up around working dogs and a patterdale terrier owned by my uncle had to have the tail docked because his flanks would be sprayed with blood because of the whipping action of his tail. In this kind of case I agree but just for what the owner thinks looks good for me its a no no.

Deff has mastiff in it has the very same mouth and nose and ears as Claires Riley. look at the rear jowles in first pic and hes staffy mastiff cross.

better shot for ears and the lovingness of these dogs

I have no problem with tail docking or ear cropping for medical reasons. I don't think anyone does. It's the ear cropping and tail docking solely for appearance that is the problem.

Ear cropping is rarely needed even for medical reasons. OK, an ear could get damaged & part may need to be cut away, but that isn't 'cropping'.

They go after the really huge feral pigs in the deep south and I believe there are quite a few in Oz as well but I don't know about them-perhaps an Australian member would know? They don't use staffies or pits but useally use cross breeds to chase and hold the 'hog' and then use dogs like the Dogo Argentino to finish it off. Sometimes they just use the cross breeds to 'hold' it then shoot it. Its very dangerous. If someone is going to take a dog hog hunting, the least they can do is crop their long ears (the dogs are useally hound mixes). But this is a very extreme example, I literally cringe to see a dog with sliced off ears and a multilated tail.
Although in regard to your belly button comment I would have loved that lol and a lot of parents do pierce their childrens ears very young. I think I was eighteen months.
But yeh if you want pointy ears on your dog bloody buy a pointy eared breed, theres enough variety around.

Looks like a bull mastiff.Love the pit bull apart from the pointed ears

I'm certain thats a dogue de bordeaux, maybe not pure but definetly mainly

I would have that DDB
