I get pitbull a lot, from his pictures, I'll try to post more though. In real life though, the brindle color is the only really pit feature...Sometimes I look at his face and I see pit, but usually lab. I've also got chesapeke bay retriever a lot and his hair is starting to get curlyish on his rump. The vet said he doesn't think pit. He comes from lodi ca, lots of pits and pit/bully type breeds there, but there is also a breeder of dutch shepherds near by (in stockton ca, but i haven't been able to log into their website). they have a coat very similar to his, and are similar in size (he is only about 1yo so we'll see if that changes much in the next year or so). There are also a couple of breeds of hound that have brindle coats. The shelter that he was rescued from called him a shepherd mix, the foster agency (animal friends connection) called him a lab/hound mix, the vet that the foster agency used called him a lab mix and my vet, who is familiar with dutch shepherds said it is very possible that he could be a pure bred dutch shepherd with droopy ears, but that he really looks like a lab. He has a very long body in relation to his height, and he is fairly solid in build but not really muscly. He also has webbed feet. I was really hoping that one of those breed genetic tests would help satisfy my curiosity but from what I am hearing, they are sort of a waste of money....thanks for your guesses
