Hi

Just wondering what people think my puppy might be? I was told her was a Boxer x Staffy but cant really see much of either in him.
He has just turned 4 months old.

thanks

Is a staffie a pit bull? If so I think he looks like boxer/pitt.

Really cute. Did you adopt him from a shelter?

First thing I thought when I saw the pics were Pit and Great Dane. He's a cutie tho.

sorry staffy = staffordshire bull terrier

We got him from a pet shop cheap, which I know is wrong but he was a result of "accidential" breeding.
He (Costa) is an absolute joy though and has a beautiful nature so I am so glad I did get him.

I think your puppy is just gorgeous.

There's something about his face and his eyes that really just captured me.

His eyes are human. It's kind of eerie (but in a good way).

Anyway, he's not stocky enough to be a APBT, which is what I thought he was at first.

He's definately got that bully face and those bully ears, but I have no idea what he's mixed with.

I am not an advocate of pet stores at all. I think they're a great evil to animals. But, I can see why you took him home...I just can't get over his eyes.

Oh wow! He truly is a gorgeous dog! I agree with xoxluvablexox, I thought Great Dane/Pit too. It's so hard to tell with "bully" breeds though...it could be any. But seriously he's just plain GORGEOUS!

thanks everyone for your comments

Lol everyone always asks me what mix Costa is and they all try to guess, they all agree that he is a beautiful boy though!

I think I need to take a closer look...send him to me.

What a freaking cutie!!! I am actually inclined to believe he is a boxer/staffie mix. From what I can tell from the pics, I see both - the ears, crown, and somewhat of a square jaw look very boxerish, as does his deep chest. But the eyes, longer snout and stockier build are quite staffy-ish. It's a good look for him - he's a doll!
