Mastiff Forum:
Silly Question...

Hi...I have what is probably a silly question for anyone knowledgeable in the mastiff family. What kind of dog is Hooch, from the movie with Tom Hanks, 'Turner & Hooch'? The closest I can tell is a Bullmastiff, but not quite for some reason. Is he some kind of weird cross? Either way he's adorable =) Thanks!

Hooch is a Dogue De Bordeaux or French Mastiff, however, owning both I believe his personality to be modeled after a Neapolitan/Italian Mastiff.
