First you should know that breed identification by looks alone has been proven to be inaccurate 75% of the time. If I had to guess, I suspect a pit bull type breed and German Shepherd. However Boxer and maybe hound could also be present. If you want to know for sure, look at one of the breed tests such as Wisdom Panel. Beautiful dog!

    Please know that looks are not an accurate way to determine breed. When tested, it was shown that guessing breed by looks alone was inaccurate 75% of the time. There are genetic tests available that can tell you what Samson really is. I recommend to company Wisdom Panel. STRICTLY as a GUESS, Samson looks like he has pit bull or other bully type breed and possible lab or hound as well. I hope this helps.
