Calling dog experts
What kind of a dog do you think this is? It is one that I am considering for adoption and I think it may be part pit bull if not all pit. It is labeled as chocolate lab mix. What do you think? DH would LOVE a pitbull, his best friends have them and they are great dogs, It's just not the right one for me. The woman who rescued her doesn't have any more info. TIA!!!

Re: Calling dog experts
There is no picture. BUT really so what if it's a pit. As long as you get it as a puppy raise it right it will be a GREAT DOG!

Thanks for the response. I hear what you're saying, it's just that I grew up with a lab and that is really what I was looking for. We live near the water & I know they are great water dogs. I will admit, that although I know pits can be very sweet & wonderful dogs depending on who raises them, I just don't feel completely comfortable raising a family with one. (We plan to have kids within the next few years. ) It may be irrational, but I can't help the anxiety I have.

Re: Calling dog experts
I could definitely see that dog being some kind of pit or staffordshire bull terrier.

Re: Calling dog experts
I don't know that it's pit, looks a lot like a lab puppy, but it's extremely hard to tell when they are that young. My friends Rottie had puppies with a mixed breed and when they were little they looked exactly like little Rotties - it wasn't until they got to about 3 months old that you could see differences in them.
See, cuz I'm partial to Weims it looks like a weimeraner puppy to me
Which by the way, are also great water dogs!!
ETA: Whatever she is, she looks absolutely adorable

Re: Calling dog experts
The head makes me think it is a lab/pit or lab staffy mix. Be very sure that you can handle training a pit mix before getting this pup. They have different needs
Good luck & keep us posted!
