Bought this dog to protect my collection, what do you think? http://dogsinthenews.com/issues/0106/pictures/hercules-hoax.jpg. Big Jim

The dog has no shaddow, not only a hoax but a bad one at that.

...ummm...for one, it's a Neopolitan Mastiff, secondly, look at the title of the pic itself...last word sums it up...

If its real, it would be some sort of Mastiff. Ive seen big 180-200lbs Mastiffs but that dog there is huge.

I was thinking it was a "TOSA" but after a brief Search it seems the Mastiff is the heavy weight topping out @ 340lbs !!!
There is still a line of Tosa that gets up in the 240 range.
Either way I aint feeding one of them !! LOL!

Napoleon Mastiffs, male and female. The male is HUGE. I think he weighs about 175. Head like a beach ball. You DO NOT let this dog step on your toes! (Otherwise he's harmless!) That dog in the pic is a photo shop in my opinion.

The dog in the picture is a Neopolitan Mastiff, which even though they are big dogs, the one in the picture is rediculously beyond the size range for the breed.

Here is a picture of me with my English Mastiff that was 235 lbs. The largest dog ever was an English Mastiff named Zorba de la Susa who weighed in at 340 and change. You can see pics of him at the link below.
