He is a German Mastiff and is more like a pony.

I fear that he is too big for his own good though. That is a lot of weight on his joints.

He looks big but don't really look very overweight but legs are quite thin so I guess you're right. Then, a bit curious, I went and search and found this:

As might be predicted, given their large size, Mastiffs suffer from a number of joint and structural problems. It's important that young, growing Mastiffs be kept lean and not allowed to exercise too strenuously or eat too much, as this will lead to injuries and problems that can be crippling down the road. In fact, all Mastiffs need to be kept lean, as obesity increases the chances they'll develop certain structural problems and makes them more painful when they occur.

Yeah, he is already having some issues. It is crazy that he is the same species as a toy poodle. All that breeding has created a beast too big for his legs.

Doesn't look any bit like a poodle. 😎

Goodness gracious that is a dino-dog LOL @brianphobos
I could not imagine the sound of its bark not to mention the amount of food it needs a day ha ha. :D

Yeah, he is a beast!

I hope this beast is house-trained.
