... as to what breed Ubi is. I got him from the shelter, they told me he was around a year old, and boxer. The lady who fostered him told me he was definitely a mix and she thought it was lab. A woman commented on how he looked sort of like a Staffie, another a mastiff. A breeder in the area saw him and said he looked Pit Bull. It's just curiosity, to be honest. I have so many people telling me he looks like something else! I think he's just a big baby.

He looks like a Boxer mix to me, could be many breeds really. Maybe Lab, or Pit, or American Bulldog, or Mastiff, ect. With his face/structure I don't really see too much pit like features but I guess you never know.

From my expert knowledge i say boxer with pitbew and maybe labrador.

But the main breed is boxer.

[Dakota Spirit]

Definitely some Boxer blood there. To be honest, I don't see any APBT features...his head is more Mastiff then anything and his body can be attributed to the Boxer heritage.

So I'd say something along the lines of Boxer/Mastiff

[French Ring]

It has a body of boxer, but a face of presa canario.

I did not even think of that but good guess. I was trying to place the facial look in the 2nd picture and just couldn't jog my thoughts. I think also with the thickness of the front legs. He is more sturdy then most Boxers.

Yeah, I'm just guessing because his muzzle looks a bit too long. I would be comfortable saying he is a boxer mix.

[zimandtakandgrrandmimi]

okay his rear assembly and the stance of his hind legs are very pit bull, but the proportions of his front are too thick for a pit bull. def boxer in the front, the head looks bully and the muzzle very molosser so my vote goes to pit/boxer cross.

[MyCharlie]

This is why I love DF. I had never heard of the presa canario before, so I googled it LOL. Thanks! So, now that I've seen the breed, I totally agree. Rear end - boxer, front end - presa canario (the front leg bulk/spacing and the droopy jowls).

[britishbandit]

I'd say there's definately Boxer in there.

You don't happen to live in Windsor do you? LOL I just got back from the dog park and there was a dog there that looked very similar to him!

Not that pits won't ever stand like that but thats a Boxer stance. The assembly in angulation is somewhat that of a Boxer. Rotts and Corso will also stand somewhat like that too a degree but with different anglulation.

No... I'm close to Pembroke.

Presa? I always thought that they were big, bulky dogs. I discounted Mastiff as I thought he didn't have the size of one... I should say that another reason I thought he was pit was because of his size. He sits comfortably at around 45lbs. Right now... he's sort of skinny. I'm trying to get him to gain more weight. He also stands at a little over 20"

[iwantmypup]

Hi,

Hmm...Cute! I do see Boxer in there...not sure what else..

[Pax]

Whatever he is, he's beeyootiful!!

Well Presas can be around 100lbs but if he is mixed then he could be smaller. He looks at a good weight in these pics, how much was he here?

[Goggie]

He's 40lbs. When I pet him, I can feel his spine and ribs... I thought that even for a boxer, his size is small. He could've been a runt in the litter... but I dunno...

[animalcraker]

He could just be pure boxer, though definitely not conformationaly correct. The fact that his tail is docked is just a bit more eveidence that he could be pure. There's not alot of vets out there that will do tail docks and almost all of them require it to be a purebred of a traditionally docked breed, at least that's how it is in my area. Of course there's still the possiblity that the breeder did it themselves or they went to a vet that didn't care what breed he was. If you really want to know for sure you could always do a DNA test on him.

*high five*

That was my first guess without even reading about him. He sure is a cutie and I love the name Ubi.

[Dogstar]

My bet would be really poorly bred boxer.
