Dogo argentina is my first thought, although, they are kinda rare. [linkhttp://www.dogbreedinfo.com/dogo.htm]http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/dogo.htm[/link]
Thoe spots kinda throw me off, could be part dalmation for all I know.

It is more likely is a pitty X or am staff X, can't really say. Do you have a pic of your brothers dog. A dog that looks like his dog may not be the exact breed. A whole body pic would be best to get a better idea.

Looks like a white Boxer to me....poorly bred. Mainly white Boxers crop up in many litters. Oftentimes they have issues with deafness...but not always.

Me, too, although I think it's mixed with something else. Every Boxer puppy or uncropped adult I've seen had ears more like a Beagles than the pup in the picture. Maybe it's mixed with Pit?

Looks like our curr dogs personally. Curr dogs are basically mutts, but stick to the same basic backgrounds. Usually Lab, bulldog, hound, some have pit, but not a lot. A lot of them also have herding instincts. They can be all colors, we have one blue merle, one white with a few blue merle patches, and one fawn. Some people keep them for pets, but currs are often bred by people as working dogs. They usually have thin, short coats and loose skin. We use ours for hunting hogs and working cows. They are very versatile and intelligent if bred right, plus they have thin coats that make them very tollerant of the FL heat. They usually have lotsa energy and do best with room to run. Sound like your guy?

Dogos can have black spots occur on them. That could be a Pit, a Dogo, not sure about Boxer considering the muzzle itself. Pits now are VERY typey, that's my educated guess, a Pit.

I agree with rwbeagles, looks like a poorly bred boxer.

Ive seen many BYB Boxers that dont have such a pushed in face, and ive also seen uncropped dogs whose ears turn that funny sort of way.

BTW, many white Boxers have black spotting

I'd say pit or pit/boxer mix....

I'd say either a byb boxer or a pit/boxer.

I though Dogo, Boxer or maybe American Bulldog, though probably just a mix. =)

Looks to me like some Dalmation, Boxer, maybe Bulldog a little bit.
