Hi, I'm new here. I believe my dog could very possibly be an alano. I do live in the US but i am only about 150 miles from the mexican border. I got him as a stray, and originally thought he was a boxer and pitbull mix, however i have seen many other boxer and pit mixes that do not look much like my dog. He stands at 23 1/2" at the shoulders, i haven't weighed him in a while but i would guess its 80 or so lbs. His personality meets that of everything i have read on the breed. He can run for 3 miles flat and still have energy to play, he is so sweet with me when we are alone he rolls onto his back in my arms and wants to be held as a baby. He can jump 6 ft straight up. He can latch on with his jaws and hang on for dear life while i spin him around with his rope. On new years he was attacked and fought back and for the life of me and the other owner we could not make him let go of the pit bull he was latched onto, kicking him in the balls did not work. His intelligence is superior, stubborn but very very smart. Her are a couple of pics, i will get more ASAP [br][link={e_FILE}public/1264028054_18078_FT16399_honey1.jpg][img:width=500&height=375]{e_FILE}public/1264028054_18078_FT16399_honey1_.jpg">[/link][br][br][img:width=170&height=226]{e_FILE}public/1264028055_18078_FT16399_honey2.jpg">
