FranVT Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) My mum sent me this joke email this morning: Whether you own a dog or not, you must appreciate the efforts of this owner to sell her dog. Read the sales pitch below! Dog For Sale Free to good home. Excellent guard dog. Owner cannot afford to feed him anymore, as there are no more drug pushers, thieves, murderers, or molesters left in the neighborhood for him to eat. Most of them knew Jethro only by his Oriental street name, Ho Lee Schitt. I had a giggle but I'd also like to know what kind of dog this is? What a big smooshy face! ETA Yes I realise it may have been photoshopped to look bigger but it is still originally a dog of some kind I'm sure Edited July 27, 2010 by FranCQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss BeRidgierent Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Definitely a mastiff of some type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolassesLass Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I think the dog is a Boerboel - not an ANKC breed but do exist in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormie Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 This pic originally did the rounds wit the dog named as a Boerboel, but I reckon it's been photo shopped to make the dog bigger. We have a client who breeds them and theirs are definitely not that big. I guess the girl could be really really tiny This is more like the size I'm used to seeing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yep that seems like a more reasonable size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliversmum Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I've seen some pretty big Boerboel males, but, not this big. Avalonia Waldor wasn't far off though. Have seen this before but doubt this is purebred Boerboel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What kind of dog? Ummmm a BIG one At a guess I would say that its the angle of the pic and the size of the girl that make him appear so huge He looks like an English Mastiff or even a Tosa Inu to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolassesLass Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I don't think it's been photoshopped but I do think the angle on which the photo was taken makes the dog seem even bigger than it is. That dog really isn't that much bigger than my Bullmastiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulp Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 This ones been kicking around for a while, it probably hasn't been photoshopped but the photo has been taken in a way to exaggerate the dogs size, check out the size of her hands on the dogs legs, gives a better idea of the real size of the dog.

Cordelia Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I always thought it was an English Mastiff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
