What Kind of Dog is Tommy? Take the Poll!

3/4/2016

Typically, the first question people ask when they meet Tommy. I tell them: "Pit bull mixed with something big." People usually guess Mastiff, Great Dane, Rottweiler. All possibilities. I've put him against those breeds, and he doesn't seem to have the body structure.
​
He's 13 now. We've done just about everything to help him with his arthritis, but it's getting worse. We are getting close to the point where we will have to put him to sleep. I'm heartbroken. He's a special boy. You'd have to meet him to know what I mean. Girls from Dave's soccer team said they wanted to stop by to see me, truthfully, they wanted to see Tommy....or, more precisely, they wanted Tommy to put his head in their lap. He always obliged. I would do anything to keep him with us, but not to the point that we are making him suffer because we can't bear the pain of his loss.
Before I give in to the impending heartbreak, I want to know the mixes of breeds in this big boy. So, I'm going to send off a DNA test. Lots of people guessed through the years. So have I. I remind people that we always believe that purebred A + purebred B = Tommy. Since I don't see many Great Dane's running stray, I assume his parents are mixes of other breeds. 

​Want to take a guess? I'll post a lot of pictures and a video, if I can find a good one. I'll keep the poll open until the results come in, so vote soon.

Sadly, I don't think "snugglebunny" is an AKC-recognized breed.

Heinz 57, very large version. But this big boy is by far the most lovable largest pups I have ever known, pure heart of gold!
