what breed is my dog?

chance · 05-27-2007, 01:03 PM

can someone tell me what breed this is? i see a little staffy in it? it also looks fairly tall for it's age... maybe a tiny ridgeback? don't ask me about the parents of it cause i have no idea.

p.s. : any ideas how old it might be? few months? it's teeth are tiny.

Hard to tell at this age. If the teeth are very small and needle-like it is probably a pup under 4 mos old. Where did you get the dog?

Since the bone structure isn't fully formed I'm just guessing at pit (mostly), boxer, amybe a bit of lab in there. The color is known as brindle if I'm seeing the colors in the picture correctly. Does it have some minor black striping in the coat?

Take some pictures with the pup standing up and something in the picture that we can relate to for size, like your hand or someone bending down to hole the dog. How much does the pup weigh?

Yep, I definitely see some Pit and Boxer in there

here's some more. i can't get any good shots cause the damn thing doesn't stop moving lol. but it's behaved... it follows me everywhere, even when i go outside where there's access to streets/roads. slowly toilet training it at the moment but sometimes has an accident inside. oh well, that's the life of a pup.

If that's just 13 weeks old I'm thinking you could have some mastiff in there too.

Awww he is so cute, alot of Pit in him, long as he is kind and loving it does not matter. Love the color also.

luv4gsds · 05-28-2007, 11:26 AM

It almost looks like a Presa Canario.

i just found out the breed. weird mix. shar pei x staffy x bullterrier. can anyone tell me what it will look like when it's older? thank god it doesn't have all those fat rolls on it like a pure shar pei lol. i'm curious to see what it would look like when older. by the way it's 3 months old.

He is so cute and I think when it gets older people are going to lean toward Pit. When I was looking at the first post I was wondering about the nose then I saw the last post and it made sence.

Nice looking dog, do you know how many of them are in the USA and where do they come from?

i was looking around and i think it might possibly end up like this;

When I first saw this thread I didnt say anything but I knew your dog had Shar Pei in him. Just from the mouth. Very cute dog though!

DebFR · 06-10-2007, 01:52 AM

I think he is a pit (I hate that term) mixed with maybe a bull terrier. The wide
nose looks like a bull terrier. He is adorable and deserves lots of love.
Take good care of him.

it's shar pei x bullterrier x staffy - i seen the mother of the dog and it has shar pei in her. ain't seen the dad yet but it's a bullterrier they said.
