The Alano Espanol is large and muscular, with an extremely powerful front end. These dogs are typically fast and agile, able turn on a dime, if necessary. The breed ranges from 22 to 26 inches in height and, on average, weighs between 75 and 89 pounds.
The colors of Alano Espanols' fur vary. Shades include:
- black
- fawn
- gray
- red.
While some of these dogs have brindling (striping on their fur), others do not. Although white patches aren't uncommon, for show purposes, they have to be small and not on the main trunk of the dog's body. Black facemasks may also be present on Alano Espanols.
By far the most impressive feature of the Alano Espanol's body is its head. About a third of the head is taken up by its wide muzzle. A wide, muscular neck and usually two double chins support the large heads of these dogs. Along with large heads, incredibly strong jaws and big teeth, under bites are also relatively common on Alano Espanols. In fact, dog shows will allow for under bites, as long as they are no bigger than 2 millimeters.
In places where it's legal, the ears are cropped to stand upright. Otherwise, they fold forward over the dog's head.
