btw we wer told he had papers...dunno what kind...but they wantted more money for the papers..so he opted out on that...

I couldn't answer your question but he's a cute dog! And good on your bf taking him away from someone would might possibly fight him, to a loving family. I'm sure he'll be a great addition to y'all's family for years to come.

Pit/ lab? Just a guess, looks a lot like my mother in laws pit/lab mix.

Looks sorta like an american bull dog mixed with apbt?

Pit in him for sure! That face is pit haha cute boy. Is the tail smooth fur or is it have longer fur lot or lab pits have longer haired tails from what I've seen more lab like.

he has short hair on his tail...not as long as a lab but he has pink skin...dunno if that is a characteristic of any breed..especially around his eyes is usualy realy pink

x2...

How much he weigh you think? Starting to agree on pit bull dog he looks thicker in the laying pic

And some white pits have that pink around eyes and mouth my buddy used to have a white girl with black spots we called her moo cow and she had same red skin as yours on her face its cute haha

Looks alot like an american bulldog cross! We have had Am Bulls for 15 yrs so pretty good at spotting them. The laying down pic looks like a full bulldog, but the sitting up one he is too narrow in the chest. Hope this helps

looks like a pitbull mix

If you are really interested, there are companies that can test the DNA for you. Here's a link.....http://www.wisdompanel.com/

First off, those DNA testing things are SCAMS. Nothing more. They will say purebred dogs are everything under the sun, not worth the money or waste of time because they dont work.

To me personally it looks like an American Bulldog mix, possibly some other bully breed, but without papers or pedigree from a reputable breeder or registry there is ZERO way to tell.
I would just call it a generic bully breed dog and be done with it. It doesnt really matter, but what ever you do dont call it an APBT or label it for sure as any breed, because you dont know and thats how misinformation on breeds get started.

As for the comment "Pit in him for sure" Carlson, please tell me how you know this for sure?? Were you there when he was bred? Also, what does "thickness" have to do with breed? APBT (the actual and only Pit Bulls) arent very "thick" at all.. and almost all white dogs, Pit Bull type or not will have pink skin on them.. its a dog thing, not a breed thing.

American Bulldog X.
I see not pit at all.

American Bulldog mix. Very cute boy!

I don't really see any pit bull in him. He has at least some American Bulldog for sure though.

thanks everyone we have had a lot of debate with our neighbor she thinks hes a sharpei cause he has alot of wrinkles..not sure if hes full grown yet but his wrinkles are fading alot now but it doesnt mattter his breed to us realy..hes an awesome dog to my 2 year old daughter and 8 year old son i was just curious to what others thought.....to me hes got the personality of a teddy bear..so i call him that...on the other hand our small dog when people ask what he is...he is a gater trapped in a dogs body...if you turn your back on him he will attack.

Yeah, he looks a lot like the american bulldog girl I had growing up. The face looks a little different from above, and considering the background who knows what sort of a mix he could be. Either way he looks like a sweety, glad he found a good home!

Looks like a bulldog mix to me, what's he weigh? Pit bulls are generally 30-60 pounds but American Bulldogs tend to be larger.

It looks like an American bulldog to me also (mixed with something else). I don't see sharpei at all, but I am by no means an expert.

im not exactly sure on his weight but i do know he weighs just a little more than my son and my son weighs 69lbs

Looks like an American Bulldog cross, maybe with some APBT in there, who knows. He looks very similar to my white Am Bull.

Definitely American bulldog mix. Don't see a pitbull or a bully. I love his face!

He has classic looks of a Pit Bull to me, especially that water-pump handle tail. They say Pit's tails look like they were made from a water pump handle and just stuck on the backside of their bodies X-) he's a cutie, and will likely be your kid's very bestest friend :)

P.S. Pitbulls are never papered. They may have documentation from the breeder, but the APBT is not recognized by the AKC UKC or others, bc there is such a large variation in appearance of PBs.

Looks like a American Bulldog/Boxer mix to me. There's no Sharpei whatsoever. A "pit bull" is not a specific breed, or even a specific mix of breeds.

The ADBA that has been registering APBT's since 1909 and YES the UKC registers APBT's, AKC only has Am Staff (show bred relative of APBT). So saying "Pitbulls" are never really papered (when I have APBT's with peds that can be traced back to 1890's) makes you sound very misinformed.

A "classic pit bull" as you referred to them as most certainly do not look like the dog the OP has pictured, and they certainly do not typically weight over 70 pounds. That dogs features and size are very similiar to that of the American Bulldog.

Mis-identification is one of the most prominent factors of the American Pit Bull Terriers demise. Anything with a huge head and a short coat is NOT an APBT. People are too confused nowadays with the 'American Bully' dogs all over the place with their twenty something inch head and bowed out shoulders. Most of the old school original lines of the APBT do not even look like what Joe Q. Public THINKS an APBT looks like today.

And yes, as MrBubblyDrink clarified, the American Pit Bull Terrier has LONG been a registered breed.

Wow, I didn't expect to get such a tongue-lashing and belittling for my opinion and statement. To say I sound misinformed makes you sound misinformed, since Am Staffs and APBTs are actually two different breeds of dogs. I've owned pit bulls for the last 8 years and had to do extensive research on them, since we are a military family and the military has tough restrictions on them. To say that the AKC recognizes Am Staffs has nothing to do with APBTs. As for the APBR, that is an American Pit Bull Registry, and is completely different from 'papering' a full-breed dog. You guys can try to be nasty and talk down to me all you want, but I didn't say anything wrong, nor did I try to cast a bad light on the breed. Get a grip. As for the weight, pardon me for not noticing he was over 70 lbs. yeesh.

My mistake, I'm on my phone and wasn't able to go back and see that you were in fact referring to the ADBA and not the APBR.

Speaking for myself and my post...
I was NOT belittling nor tongue lashing anyone. I was simply notating what was true and what was false based on facts. I am sorry that you are thin-skinned, as you are on a public forum, where everyone voices their opinions and knowledge freely, when done in a respectful manner. In no way was I disrespectful.

Since you'd like to bring up how long you have owned 'pit bulls', my family owned this breed of dog generations before I was even born. Since you have owned 'pit bull' type dogs for 8 years, then you should see where I am coming from on my statements in regards to mis-identifying the breed and whats often results from it. Surely you are aware of BSL and the fight we have to fight daily to maintain our right to own our breed of choice?

I don't think the other poster was malicious in ANY way either. He was simply stating facts about registries. American Pit Bull Terriers ARE a registered breed, as they have been for many many years. In fact, before the ADBA was formed in 1909, the UKC actually registered the breed.

I am not in a pi$$ing match here by ANY means, but if I see any incorrect info pertaining to this breed of dog that I am very passionate about and have a lifelong dedication to, I will certainly speak up. The fact that you took such great offense is unfortunate, but was not intended.

There are far too many mis-conceptions about this breed out there already to add to it.

American Pit Bull Terriers are registerable with the UKC. See here:
http://www.ukcdogs.com/Web.nsf/Breed...errier12012012

The AKC refuses to recognize the APBT but will register American Staffordshire Terriers. However, AKC admits the AST was at one time called the "pit dog".
http://www.akc.org/breeds/american_s...rier/index.cfm

There is still debate about whether the AST and APBT are actually different breeds. Some breeders and fanciers declare they are merely different types of the same breeds. Some sites even claim dogs can be double registered as both breeds, as long as the dog receives registration as an AST with the AKC first. (AKC will not register a dog already registered as an APBT.)

http://www.bulldogbreeds.com/america...llterrier.html

And I am in completely agreement that misidentification is a BIG reason for the demise of the "pit bull" type dogs. People cannot properly identify different dog breeds, and thus declare anything with a blocky head a "pit bull". I've seen Labradors, mastiffs, boxers, pointers, and even my dad's border collie (?!?!?!) mix called "pit bulls". My own dog is a pointer mix, and is almost always called a "pit bull". Just to further demonstrate... my other dog is a malamute mix and got called a "bull terrier" mix, by a dog trainer of all people...

I dont know if anyone has already mentioned this but could be mixed with white boxer. Explains the spots. But def. pit in there.
