The came up on my news feed on Facebook today when a friend commented on the picture. I don't recognize the breed but it appears to be a show so I assume its a purebred.

Tibetan mastiff?

Looks like a Leonberger

Now that I'm on my computer I reverse google image searched to find that it's a Spanish mastiff, a livestock guardian breed.

That makes sense. It's not a breed you see here in the States. I figured it was some kind of mastiff.

For the record, both Tibetan Mastiffs and Leonbergers have long hair. Leonbergers look somewhat like a Golden Retriever/Saint Bernard mix.

I know what a Tibetan mastiff looks like, I've just seen them with shorter (but not short), thick coats as well as fluffy coats. There was a user here or on another forum who's Tibetan mastiff looked similar to the dog in the picture.

Is it a spanish mastiff or a tibetan mastiff. I google imaged both and it looks like the spanish mastiffs aren't this color and the tibetmastif's fur is a bit different.
