My first guess would be pit and lab, but on the couch, I'd almost guess there was some doberman or another slim breed such as one of the sighthounds (maybe some greyhound?)
His face so closely resembles a friend's harlequin Great Dane, that I wouldn't be surprised if he has some Dane in him.
Thanks for the replys! We are thinking he is a pit/lab mix too, but we weren't sure since we haven't seen many of that mix. And a pinch of something else too maybe!

Is that a big shar pei muzzle?
He has crazy flappy, rubbery lips! That was something that kept throwing us off.

I am thinking I took that pic shortly after he was rescued, he was extremely emaciated. He has filled out since then. The close up was taken about 6 months later.
Boyd and Clarence are great! We are very blessed, they compliment each other very well and have both adjusted to farm life. And when the hubby is away, I like having them around. My gentle giants with some sass, no one messes with me.
There are places that you can submit a sample of your dogs DNA to and they'll tell you what breed it's supposed to be. They're not always that accurate.... but it's still fun. I paid $60 for each of my dogs and sent a sample of cheek cells to a Canadian company (I'm in Canada). I believe it's pretty accurate though my husband doesn't think so. It sure answered some questions for me though! Like why all Kelly wanted to do was run and hunt (dalmation and siberian husky) and why Chase tries to heard other dogs at the off leash area when he was supposed to be only 1/4 border collie (over half BC!) and his strength (bull terrier).
I agree he could be pit and shar pei, though boxers and pits have a lot of characteristics in common so it could be hard to tell. Tests on my dogs showed Kelly has 7 breeds in her and Chase has 4, there could easily be a lot going on in your dog.
Google doggy DNA testing maybe, if you're really curious. I don't regret that I had it done on my dogs.
