Hmm, some good guesses. I'm thinking maybe one parent was a pit and the other a lab/beagle mix. He's a bit small for a pit/lab.

The only reason I'm not thinking lab is because of his size. Most labs are at least 2 inches taller and 10-20 lbs heavier.

Thanks for all of your opinions. When he was a puppy, he looked identical to some APBT puppies I've seen, but as he got older, he started to look a little less pitlike.

Any other guesses?

I live in rural Arkansas, and I have never even seen a Shar pei, so I'm going on record to say that I'm about 99.9% sure he doesn't have any Shar pei in him.

I think he's too small for a bullmastiff or american bulldog mix. I think he's about finished growing. He may end up 18 1/2" 45 lbs tops. I was thinking maybe APBT or APBT/beagle? lol

All dogs come from a common ancestor. I believe I read that a Rottweiler is a combination of doberman, mastiff, and something else. Tosas have bloodhound in them. But noone ever calls a Rottweiler a mutt. So, at what point does a mutt become an actual breed?

Ten years ago, if a golden retriever and a poodle had a litter of puppies, they'd be considered mutts, but now they're "goldendoodles". A bullmastiff is a bulldog/mastiff cross. So, when is a mutt no longer considered a mutt?

Sorry, pics have been added.

Here are some pics of me now, and the last 4 of when I was a puppy. I'm about 11 months old, 18", and 40 lbs. I do not believe that I am a Shar Pei mix (I've been told this a dozen times) because my tongue is solid pink, and I was told by a Shar Pei breeder than a Shar Pei mix would have at...

Can Ivermectin be safely given to a heartworm positive, but very healthy dog (2 and 1/2 years old) with no signs of heartworm disease? If so, what dosage should be used?

26. I always figured everyone on here was in their 30's or 40's. lol

I adopted a pitbull, possibly mix, puppy about a month ago. It turns out he has a sister, and she'll likely be euthanized in two weeks if a good home isn't found for her. I haven't seen her as of yet, but I was told she looks almost identical to Spike, my puppy. Spike currently weighs 30...

I honestly don't see how anyone would mistake Voodoo for a pit bull. To me, he looks like a chocolate lab mixed with a Pointer or English Springer Spaniel. And I've said this before, but do you all really get THAT many weird looks from people? Around here, you could be walking a whole herd...

Actually, American Staffordshire Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and Bull Terriers all are considered to be "pit bulls".
