Name that breed - please!

This morning, husband & I came across a gorgeous puppy of about 12 wks (wandering near a road) & returned it to very grateful owners. She had literally just got out!
Now puzzling over its breed , can anyone help?
She was grey, wrinkly (aren't all pups?), short haired, with light grey piercing eyes. Rather a square head and stocky body. She looked to me like she's going to grow into a 45kg plus dog.
Can anyone help & tell me the breed??
Thanks in anticipation.

Very wrinkly around the eyes???? Is there a French breed?? I'm sure not a Weimaraner, we have a Rhodesian Ridegeback and this was a much bulkier puppy and def a pedigree.
We loved her!

Thank you for guessing from my inadequate description, but I think we've got it now with the Neopolitan Mastiff.
I fell in love with her eyes - a beautiful grey
