I don’t know what kind of dog this is. I don’t have the date, but it’s either an early bulldog or mastiff from England.

Its obviously a ‘Pitbull’ Scottie (smirk.)
Here is the answer. The dog is an alaunt or early bulldog from England, painted by Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522 – 1605) from Bologna.
What’s with the feet?
He couldn’t do a digitigrade dog foot properly.
So prolly the real dog didn’t look anything like the painting ?
Dog feet are hard to do. I bet it looked a lot like the painting. I think this might be the earliest depiction of a bulldog from England, though.
