Hi all, I just got my second English Mastiff and I have some minor concerns. My first guy was a fluffer and it used to drive me nuts explaining to people that he was pure bred in spite of his "flaw". My new guy is brindle but has a very small white patch on his chest. The reason this concerns me is that when I picked him up, dad was no longer on site. Supposedly he began to have issues with the other family pet soon after mom became pregnant. The other family pet is a brindle Presa Canario who was on site. Given that Presa and Mastiff pups look so similar, I am a little concerned that, having seen only photos and papers for dad, he may have passed off a Presa or Mastiff-Presa cross as a pure bred. My profile pic is the pup in question, Fergus. Anyone have any suggestions about what other subtle differences I can look for or if I am being paranoid? It's not the end of the world either way, I just want to know what I've got and raise/train the dog accordingly. Thanks.
