Hey there, this is my dog Audrey. She is 9 months old and we are confused as to what breed mix she is. When we got her we were told Staffy x Mastiff but we have reason to believe she is not.

If you could please let us know what you believe she is it would be much appreciated.

How much does she weigh? I see some bully breed in her, but not mastiff. She doesn't look very big. More hound like to me, but I'm not really sure.

she weighs 18kg, we suspect she may be pitbull x kelpie possibly.

Thankyou for responding, she weighs about 18kg, we suspect she may be a pitbull x kelpie (australian cattle dog) possibly.

Are either Kelpies or ACD common in your area? I don't really see ACD and that tri color is common in many breeds. Any traits that lead you to think a herding breed? I'm thinking your dogs parents were both mixed, maybe with mostly or largely a bully breed. She is too small to be a mastiff mix, so you can probably count that out.

Yes Kelpies are very common, we thought that due to her colouring and energy she may have it in her. By bully breed are you suggesting american pittbull?

Cheers

By bully breed I mean any of the bully breeds or mixes. APBT or American Stafforshire Terrier are the two big ones, but there are other bully breeds that have a similar look.
If kelpies are common it's possible your dog is mixed with one.
