Hi! I got a new puppy about 1 1/2 weeks ago from an animal shelter.They said he was a 12 week old American Staffordshire/Shar-Pei mix, but my vet says he is definately not an Am. Staff. He believes he is a Bullmastiff mix because of his bone structure, etc. In addition, he believes he is more like 9 weeks old because his teeth aren't loose yet. He currently weighs around 19-20 pounds (he was around 13lbs when we got him!). My mom and I think he is Bullmastiff/Shar-Pei? Possibly with some German Shepherd because he has thick, velvety ears and when you pull them up, he looks somewhat like a German Shepherd puppy.
Additional info:
- If you look at his head from above, it is more of a upside down triangle shape than a square.
- He has some extra skin if you pull on it, but he isn't wrinkly. The vet says this is because he will be growing very quickly, and if the skin wasn't loose, it wouldn't be able to stay caught up with his body.
- He also is very smart (learned "sit", "stay", "lay down", and "right paw/left paw" the 2nd day we had him!) and has an amazing sense of smell.
Does anyone have any guesses as to what he may be? I think at least one of his parents may have been a mix breed. I know it'll be easier to tell what he is when he gets older, but I'm excited lol.
(The Christmas pictures are from yesterday, the others are from the day we got him)
