Dutch Mix?

He's only about 20lbs and he's just finished losing all his front teeth so we think he's about 4-5 months. I thought he was a little small to be full Dutch but couldn't figure what he's mixed with because he's small, has a spotted tongue, and his tail curls at a perfect hook.

He's also quite short, as far as Dutch's go, from what I've read and seen online. His little legs are pretty short. He was a parvo puppy so I don't know if that's stunted his growth in some way or another.

He looks like some type of bully mix, I don't really see shepherd in him :)

Really? None at all? I can't even find other dogs that look like him and here he is with my pit and I don't feel like their faces are that similar.

Definitely a bully mix. It's hard to ID on visuals alone, but your pup's head shape and build are definitely bully.

when it comes to Pitt, there are so many variations of the head, there is not just ONE head shape. I had a Pitt rottweiler mix and she really didn't have the pitt head either. I really dont thing she is a dS mix. Pitt have brindle too.

Well I've grown up with random pitty mutts my whole life and he doesn't look anything like the other 13 I've had. I thought I would ask because my vet said she thought he was DS mixed with a smaller terrier dog and I thought y'all might be able to help, but I suppose not.

Welp, thank a trillion.

Maybe when he grows a little more it will be clearer what he is
