Whatever he is, he's beautiful! Looks like a black mastiff to me (but I only know one Mastiff -- and I've never seen a black one).
-
An english and neo mix maybe with a little bit of pig thrown in to get that cute curly tail! ;D
-
OMG that baby looks sooooooo much like Willow (neo mastiff) in the face, but that tail is so not mastiffy at all. Whatever he might be he is gorgeous.
-
mastiff shar pei mix> Shar peis have that curly tail thing going on.
-
He is gorgeous! How big is he? I have no idea either, but he does look like a mastiff to me to...but the curly tail???
-
Jesse is about 75 lbs, and at least that much underweight- he is ALL bones and skin. He is currently 25" at the withers, and is supposed to be almost a year old. I never thought of that- he DOES have the size and structure, and tail of a shar-pei.
-
I'm going to agree- either Neo-Shar Pei mix or Mastiff-Shar Pei mix. He's beautiful!
-
mastiff shar pei mix> Shar peis have that curly tail thing going on.
I was just thinking that. I had a black Giant Shar Pei once and she looked a lot like that. She was a good girl! I see some lab and rottie in there too. He looks like Rocco!
-
What a handsome fella! :-*
Definitely looks mastiffy. :D The curly tail is adorable, and doesn't necessarily indicate sharpei in my opinion... Nigel has a curly tail like that and he is Bloodhound/Boxer/St.Bernard. Also, have you ever seen a Rottie with a tail? They are curly... ;) :D
-
I was thinking Cane Corso or Neo, don't they normally have their tails docked? I know since aussies are normally docked, ones that are left undocked have a whole slew of different tail lengths and styles. The reason being that they were never bred for how their tails looked so if they're left on they're kind of hodge podge. :D
-
He is a dark brindle, a little bit of fawn thrown in for accent, and a tiny white patch on the chest. When he is standing he looks like he should fall on his face, cuz his head is way too big for his little bony body!
-
I agree....he sure is a handsome fella. As for the breed the tail reminds me of an Akita.
-
Guess I will have to do some more research into all the possible breeds, and see how he looks when he gets his weight back to where it should be. Thanks for all the input! You will be happy to know that no matter WHAT he is, he will be well loved and WILL learn manners sooon!
-
Shar's have WAAAY curlier tails than that, i would guess he just got that from way back (like from a messed up mastiff)
BTW, this is in response to smudges and gauges and mr. grey's and zeus' mommy. (or daddy) hehe!

OMG He is sooo cute!  If you have any problems finding him a home you let me know.  I think he might be some kind of 'Bandogge' which is just a pit bull/ mastiff mix. pit/neo mix seems to be the most popular but cane corso/pit mix is increasing.Â
http://www.molosserdogs.com/modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=935&title2=Bandogge the pic in the middle of the page on the left hand side looks a little like him. I did alot of research on this since we think Sophie is a pit/cane corso mix. I really wish people didn't mix these wonderful breeds to make bigger "meaner" dogs... It makes me so mad... since we all know its the owner not the dog. Ok I'll get off my soapbox  :)

mastiff shar pei mix> Shar peis have that curly tail thing going on.
Thats what I was thinking too
-
He's awfully cute. I see neo in him...but maybe that's because I live with one. Just like everyone else...I love the curly tail. He's great.

Update on Jesse- as he gains weight and fills out, he is even more handsome than he was when he got here. He is still very puppy-ish, and bounces all over the play yard. He chases butterflies, and jumps off the deck looking like he is trying to launch himself into the air (apparently he doesn't know he can't fly) to chase birds that fly by. He is very energetic and happy, and has learned to "roo" at us to tell us when he wants something- from a bite of our pizza to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He even managed to figure out how to make a "roo" sound like "OUT!" ;D
Jesse is very happy that his best buddy Frankie is back from her showing tour- they play together for hours and snuggle the rest of the time. He is good with all our girls, and last night when the neighbor was doing fireworks for several hours, he barked at them nonstop to try to scare them away so they wouldn't bother "his girls", and was not happy until the noise stopped. Their singing kareoke (sp?) was bad enough, but fireworks were the last straw! ::)
-
HaHa! He sounds like a great guy and a joy to have around! :)
-
Wow, he is a beautiful boy! Have any updated pics of him with some more meat on his bones?
-
Yep- was just about to do that!
-
Hurry! need more pics!!!
