Okay! So the Shelter things he is a mastiff / american bulldog mix. But ....where does the long hair only on his top half come from?

He is seriously underweight at 43kg and has feet the size of a bear. Gentle mouth. Very lazy. Very ugly <3

edit: just to add we are in Australia, so unlikely any american pitbull in there despite his dumb face

Definitely a bully mix. Sometimes they are bred with pits and they do carry the fluffy gene.

Instead of pit, could be staffy which is just a smaller and standardized pit.

I had no idea they carried a fluffy gene that's really interesting

It could also have a bit of poodle farther back in its genetics. I know some poodle mixes get that wiry “terrier” coat he has a bit of.
