    Thanks :) I know the mother is a purebred boxer. The father was a mutt. Here's a picture of rocky (blue eye) and his parents. image.jpg
    The mother is in the top left hand corner, and the father is the lower right hand corner. The father looks like a Dalmatian cross to me but the owner said he was an am bull x English bull terrier. In these pictures rocky is 5 months old

    I do not think it really matters what is in their background, as they are all such gorgeous dogs! :007:

    I figured I'd send an update on the pups. The white ones just turned 1 year in January so the mal is about a year old now. I'm not sure how much he weighs but hes getting tall. Other than his ears not standing he looks just like a Belgian malinois to me.

    I could see Belgian as a possibility by looks but he also looks like a random bred mutt. They can look similar to Belgian mix. When dogs indiscriminately breed you get a lot with that color and similar type. In the close up picture he looks a lot like a mix without seeing any typical Belgian features. To me he looks like street dogs I saw while in Mexico these were not 1st generation crosses but dogs of mix lineage for generations. There are dogs like this in the US also.

    Here is an example of one from Mexico

    Here is the owners blog

    This shows some others of different color also, they were in Sonora, Mexico and refer to them as Sonoran street dogs but I saw similar type in Juarez and you will see it in US with random bred dogs. There is also the Carolina Dog (American Dingo) that you can see is similar.

    That could definately be a possibility since I live on the border of Mexico. All I am sure about at the moment is that he has some type of mastiff mixed in Because he's still growing at a year old. He still has loose skin everywhere! That's scary considering how large he already is. He's already bigger than my other male and he weighs 75 pounds!
