English Mastiff's are typically the buff color of the pic sent by bwebb7. So if yours has the brindle perhaps it's a boxer mix also....he certainly has the boxer and even the mastiff face - just precious!

Thanks! He is such a loving young man - 2-1/2 years old and you'd think he was 6 months
. He licks everything in sight....We started to call him Hercu-lick instead of Hercules.
We adopted him from SPCA and he has been a pleasure to have in our family!!

he is really lovely,
Fantastic dogs with great temprament. I think Paine is great name forhimand it fits well.
Please Read, sorry it is long:
Tom Paine, the son of a Quaker corset maker, was born in Thetford in Norfolk on 29th January, 1737. After being educated at the local grammar school Paine became an apprentice corset maker in Kent. This was followed by work as an exciseman in Lincolnshire and a school teacher in London.
In 1768 Paine moved to Lewes where he was employed as an excise officer. Paine became involved in local politics, serving on the town council and establishing a debating club in a local inn. Paine upset his employers when he demanded a higher salary. Paine was dismissed and he responded by publishing a pamphlet The Case of the Officers of Excise. While in London Paine met Benjamin Franklin who encouraged him to emigrate to America.
Paine settled in Philadelphia where he became a journalist. Paine had several articles published in the Pennsylvania Magazine including one advocating the abolition of slavery. In 1776 he published Common Sense, a pamphlet that attacked the British Monarchy and argued for American independence. During the war with England Tom Paine wrote articles and pamphlets on the superiority of republican democracy over monarchical government and served with Washington's armies. Paine also travelled to France in 1781 to raise money for the American cause.
Paine played no role in American government after independence and in 1787 he returned to Britain. Paine continued to write on political issues and in 1791 published his most influential work, The Rights of Man. In the book Paine attacked hereditary government and argued for equal political rights. Paine suggested that all men over twenty-one in Britain should be given the vote and this would result in a House of Commons willing to pass laws favourable to the majority. The book also recommended progressive taxation, family allowances, old age pensions, maternity grants and the abolition of the House of Lords.
See he is British and American and stood up for the Rights of Man.

....thanks so much for that information!....i wonder if my grandfather was related to this line of Paines?....that would be so cool if he was!

....thanks for giving us the final push to name him!....
...
So, his name is decided..its Major Paine!...
Just to add,
I think Major Paine sounds good. here in the UK I have seen a lot of brindle Mastiffs, but they are one of my favourite dogs, they have a lovely nature,
and I saw he pic of the three buff ones the one on the left looks like it is mixed with a Great Dane, something in the head shape is very different to a Mastiff.
Wish you luck with him, he is really lovely. Redhen. hmmm so envious, you are honoured. h looks just perfect and he is man enough to take even a pink sweater. lol...

Hi Redhen,
Sorry I did not see your answer until I posted again.
It is worth doing a trace to see if you are related, honestly it would be really something. This man is my hero.
I am a specialist in 18th and 19th Century Social History in the UK, so I am a big fan.
Glad you settled on the name, wonderful.
