But I want to know what you'd think of him if you'd just met him and didn't know anything about him. He's currently ~26" and 85 lbs. I'm in the bottom picture, I'm 5'4", he's full height there, and that's the closet to a stack I have a photo of. So... what would you think?

LOL- new breed!  From everything I've read over the years, Tibetan Mastiffs are actually a very old breed.  But I knew what you meant- new to the AKC.  Just could resist the laugh.    Have to say- Chow/Golden Retriever was my first thought. My name is Sue How do you do?

First thing I thought when I hit post was that was not very clear ...lol ...I did mean new to the AKC ,  but typing in the dark in the weee hours of the morning  goofs happen.  Sometimes when I can not sleep I will go on line, If I go to the computer room or the front room it wakes up all the dogs and tehy are positive it must be breakfast time no matter how dark outside .  So to avoid waking the whole house I tap away in bed and hope I don't annoy the Hubs    your guess is better than mine I am sure, but what a handsome fellow he is !

I'll see about uploading it in a bit.       Any ideas why his tongue has gotten more purple? I have another picture from when he was just 3 months old and he only has two large purple spots... where are they coming from?

Black on the toung does not mean chow - I've seen a few AKC labs with black spots on the toung....doesn't really mean a thing.

  Re: Breed Guess - For Fun (aDork) Reply Contact erica1989: Black on the toung does not mean chow - I've seen a few AKC labs with black spots on the toung....doesn't really mean a thing. Yep, my boy has a purple spotted tongue like Misha's, and I'm pretty certain he doesn't have a bit of chow in him (although I suppose it is possible...lol!) I dunno if I really see any chow in him or not. I mean he does have that orangy, fluffy coat, but other than that...  I'm more inclined to say Pyr mixed with maybe golden or even lab, or even a Newfie x!  lol!  I know, that's probably a little too far off.
