Haha, he does and also jglebar's! Roman went to visit his siblings a few days ago (the smaller female is a direct sibling from the same litter in Sep 2021) and the larger male sibling from the prior litter in July 2020. Rocky the one in the forefront is ~ 100 lb. Roman is not as girthy but he's a bit taller and a bit longer in torso than his almost 3 YO sibling. The female is in the 65-70 lb. range:

I haven't done a DNA on Roman but he does have kind of Mastiff "vibe" to him. But as you can see from his direct and indirect siblings, not much of anything Mastiff in them. What I know is that one of their grand sire was actually mostly Chesapeake retriever and on the other side a red-nose pitbul and lab mixtures. There are like 7-8 generations of these dogs and there was quite a bit of interbreeding but not within direct siblings so no mongrels. It is very possible that the area where their ancestors come from, there were Mastiffs and also Rottweilers because one pup had Rotty coloring, spots and patterns. Mine has a Masstif look but he won't be huge like a male Mastiff 120+ or do they hit 140? I hope that mine stays in the 90-100 range!

ETA: I rehomed the Rotty looking male back in Jan 2022 and kept the Mastiffy one :)

Haha well whatever they are they are great looking dogs! I can definitely see some Rotty in there too!
Depending on the breed of mastiff they can be 130+ mine will probably be in the 130-140 range

I had a French Mastiff that had congenital kidney failure and made it to be 9 and a half. Thatā€™s pretty good for those guys. My first mastiff was a bull mastiff and we had a couple of French mastiffs and a Brazilian. Not all at the same time.I love mastiff breeds. Trying to transition to the working line German Shepherd dogs we have now has been an adjustment to put it mildly.0850CAE5-8683-4E6C-9D53-54ED8351961B.jpeg

We had 2 English mastiff/Great Dane dogs that were wonderful and 160lbs of lap dog. I had sibling Tosa Inuā€™s (Japanese mastiffs) after having a Cane Corso (Italian mastiff). We now have a pitbull and a Fila (Brazilian mastiff) crossed with GSD. Mastiff breeds of all sorts are amazing dogs. My wife got me the Tosaā€™s as a gift and they were truly the best dogs I have ever been around. They both made it past 11 years and I miss them every day. My Fila mix is a wonderful dog, but I tell her sometimes I wish she would be more mastiff-like than shepherd. šŸ¤£

My fila was the softest, sweetest of all my mastiffs with the family including a pug and a kitten/cats but strangers at the house was pretty much a no go. It was fine for us since we live very remotely and donā€™t have many visitors or mailmen or ect. But he was good at the vet and in the truck. The Portuguese word for their temperament is Ojeriza 'Detesting Strangers and he was true to it. Iā€™ve seen some around here that arenā€™t that way and Iā€™m sure our living situation only exemplified it but he was a great dog for us.

My girl tolerates the vet, but detests strangers (human and animal). Our vet said he has had more aggression issues at the clinic with Filaā€™s than any other breed. She is so good with us and the pitbull, but quite the watchdog. When we went to meet her for the first time, 2 guys were holding her 130lb shredded brindle Fila dad on a huge chain. He was slobbering and barking and looked ferocious. As soon as I said hi to him he just chilled out, then suddenly was letting me and my wife rub his belly and give him scritches and rough housed a bit. She, my Cane, and both Tosas would stop eating to wag and give you a kiss. Dogs are awesome.
 
I've never owned a Mastiff, but a buddy had (a huge) one named "Bluto" that was hilarious. I loved that dog. When "Bluto" wanted to play, he didn't leave it to chance. He'd come over and pull me off the couch. What a great dog he was.
