They didn't specify a breed but they mentioned "very-large breed". I'm assuming that to mean a mastiff of some sort?

Not confirmed, but the Edmonton Journal's article mentions possibly Cane Corso: https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/residence-where-b-c-boy-was-killed-by-dogs-had-two-attack-complaints-in-past-three-months

Animal control said Wednesday the two dogs had been seized and are currently at animal control but would not confirm information from sources that suggests the dogs were intact males of the cane corso breed.

Damn that's crazy, those are some powerful dogs.

There are 17 breeds considered "giant" by the AKC, so they could be a lot of different things.
