This is what a full blooded pitbull looks like.

I am going to say a American Pit Bull Terrier, because she's all one color light brown but for her chest and head most 'APBT' are light brown when the puppie is about 1 year. You can really tell if it a 'APBT' or mix shell fill out really well, but the height is whats going to tell you. If her height is about to your knees (the top of her head). I would say she a mix of Staffordshire, but if taller, I would say full. I say this, because Staffordshire's are ugly, very short for female or male 'APBT' get a big head and an almost boxer looking body. Sorry, I couldn't be more help.

Your dog kind of looks like the dog my uncle has. His dog is a mixture of different breeds of pits. The mother has 3 different bloodlines and the father is a red nose. So the dog came out looking like a mutt. (Not calling yours a mutt.) Your dog does have pit features, but you can tell that it has another blood line in it. If you were to mate your dog you would have to find a strong blood line to keep the puppies in that strong line of pit bull breeds. My dog is a pit with 2 different bloodlines, but she is a full pit.

That's a pit alright, just look at that little block head and the way the ears rest. Looks like a little one though.

The people you got him from should have any documents proving his authenticity.

You generally cannot tell by a picture, you may have to talk to a professional breeder or a licensed veterinarian. Either way, he's super cute!

There are four breeds of "pitbull": American Pitbull Terrier, Bull Nose Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

It's a dark photo and you really only show the face so it's hard to tell. It clearly is NOT a Bull Nose Terrier (totally wrong nose), American Staffordshire Terrier or a Staffordshire Terrier (head too small for either).

It could be a pure American Pit Bull Terrier or a mix of one of the Staffordshire breeds. Hard to tell from your photo.

Why do you need to know so badly? If it's a question of you keeping the puppy, you should have thought about what you were doing and learned about the dog before taking a puppy into your home.

If you're worried about a "pit bull" don't believe the PR that's spouted out about them. They are very loyal, SUPER people loving and determined to please dogs. It's not the breed; it's the deed.
