pit/lab mix?

[BC_MoM]

I don't see Lab, and I don't think he's purebred Pit (but I definitely see a lot in him)... but he's gorgeous!

Your vet must be blind... I don't see ANY lab at all, mostly pit!

Definitely not a purebred pittie - he's cute as can be, but he doesn't have the broad face of a pittie, and his nose is too long. Something narrower-faced mixed with brindle-pit perhaps, and of course all cuteness! If he has webbed toes, maybe that's why the vet guessed Lab, but we'll see how big he ends up before making and other guesses! Give him a kiss for me!

Your vet, however, may have been doing you a kindness, in terms of insurance and other matters, "mixed breed" is better than pitbull mix, and indeed, maybe he is a boxer mix - from the coloring, that could be it, too, but his face and muzzle is definitely not a bit boxerish!

Thats a really good point, and that is actually exactly what I was thinking.

Doesn't matter what mix he is, he is SUCH A CUTIE.

thanks for all of your input. i definitely think he looks most like a pit bull, too. he is growing up so fast and his looks are definitely changing, so we'll see what he ends up looking like.

I hope you have had him neutered ??

I always advise anyone with a pit or pit mix to educate themselves as much as possible on the breed...
many pits are the incredible mushbabies and very loving , sweet and submissive to children and ppl
BUT..
many are PRONE to dog on dog aggression..
and its not the falsehood of the fault of the owner..
its an inate trait..

this is my favorite site...that offers everything you need to know about the breed...
