Your boy doesn't look skinny to me, that red female (IMO) is horrendously overweight. Plus, she is a mature dog, while he appears to be going through a case of the "puppy uglies." Once he matures & fills out I think you will find he will look very much like the red female. But this is JMHO. You can consider him whatever you wish, but I will side with the rest of the fanciers here - if you don't think hes a Bull Mastiff, just call him a Bull Mastiff mix & be done with it. If you call him a pit bull or pit bull mix (which BTW I see no influence of PB in him in any way) you're just asking for trouble! |

Molosser breeds do not even BEGIN to mature out until the age of 3. Until the age of 3 they're still considered puppies. So your dog is considered by molosser standards as just having outgrown puppyhood. At the age of 4 he is a very young adult who still has growing to do. Most molosser breeds to not reach their complete adult height & girth until the age of 5.

Molossers can grey at ages we consider premature. 6 years old is getting older for them (crazy I know, but it has to do with their size).
Me myself I see nothing more than a out of standard Bull Mastiff. But if you question his breeding to that much, simply call him a Bull Mastiff mix & leave it at that. Good luck with him! |

Hey I have been looking around do you think instead of bullmastiff he has douge de bordeaux? his body shape and face expressions remind me more of that breed than a bull mastiff he may of got his colouring from the other breed he is mixed with or he could of been a douge de bordeaux with a dark muzzle which is considered fine as the breeding standards which I didnt know I just thought they came with a red muzzle and pink nose but you can get them with a black muzzle and black nose(and no it is not necessarily a bull mastiff if it has a black nose and muzzle)

if you read any breed book it states that they can have black muzzles so that means they are pure bred not badly bred

Hi I have a rescue dog who was given to us as a full bullmastiff which he obviously is not. so wanted you opinion what he could be? I have been told by alot of people he looks like he has pit in him others say boxer some ever say ridgeback. I dont care what breed he is as I love him i am just very curious into finding out what he is as it would be nice to let people know what breed is when they ask as I get asked that question frequently. here are a few photos of him Hope to hear from you all soon Thanks x
