What kinda dog is this puppy?

That's because shelters are full of pit mixes. They literally are everywhere.

Including this one.

I would never keep a pit mix. I've known many that family and friends have and they're very sweet dogs. But unpredictable and they're dangerous.

You could post a picture of a baby koala on this board and everybody would chime in that there is clearly some pit in him and you were taken for a ride. Enjoy your puppy!

This looks exactly like my dog. It was billed as a "lab mix," but there is clearly some pit among the mix. She has some fear aggression and because of how she "protects" the house, we put her in a room upstairs whenever any guests come in, especially our kids' friends, just to be safe. It isn't ideal, but we have trained her very carefully, there has never been an issue, but we always play it safe anyway. She is the sweetest dog with the best personality, but I wouldn't have gotten her if I had small children (mine were teens when we adopted).

Please note the following which I copied from an article on an Australian news site. It would give me pause for thought.

The most at-risk age group for dog attacks is children under 10 years old.

And in 84 per cent of cases reported, the victim was attacked by their own pet or a dog owned by someone they knew.

"The American pit bull has been outlawed because they're a vicious dog, they've been bred specifically for fighting and hunting, and in that context they become a weapon."

Looks Weimaraner to me.

All dogs are individuals. My chihuahua is vicious; my pit it a big baby.

If you don’t want him return him ASAP so he can find a new owner.

Not purebred vizsla, but could be lab/vizsla mix. We had one when I was a kid and he had an INSANE amount of energy (jumped 6' fences till he was 10yo) and VERY sweet. Very lovable mix.

Did you keep?

NP here. The lab mix pup that we rescued did turn out to be part Staffy (confirmed by doggy DNA test). She is honestly the sweetest, most gentle, most friendly dog that you would ever want to meet.

I'll admit, that I was a little freaked out that our new baby was likely a pitt mix but my fears were completely unfounded. If I could clone this dog I'd do it, she is that sweet. She's got us all wrapped around her paw.

I see some boxer in that pup. Maybe boxer/staffy?

No way I’m getting him to stay still

This. The coloring is neither lab nor pit bull. It may be a mix of a Vizla, lab and even some type of hound. The paws look lab to me. Labs and Goldens have big goofy paws until they grow into the,. OP can you post a picture now that he is 1.5 years old?

This looks like our 9 month old rescue puppy. We had a DNA test done by Embark and she is Pit, Beagle, German Shepherd, Chow, Coonhound. She is a sweet dog!

Definitely some pit from the eyes, but also likely some hound mixed in with either the pit or the lab parent. I feel like that's a very common shelter mix. Does not look Vizla or Weimer to me. A lot of the shelters say boxer/lab mix when they actually have pit/lab mixes. I've had boxers and they really don't look like pits. You don't get that red around the eyes with boxers, and the ears are set differently on the head.
