I have never seen a pit bull that is anywhere near as thin boned as she is though... Especially if she is really mixed with lab.. The people I got her from said that themom was pure lab and that they saw her so that is all I really have to go off of. They also said that they saw the dad and that he was lab too but there could have always been another male that snuck in there. But unless they were just plain lying, she should be at least half lab..... She must be mixed with something very small I think because I have read that most 14 week old labs are about 25lbs or so and she is probably right around 13lbs right now...
Puppy size doesn't always mean much - my Dobe mix was about 5lbs at 8 weeks and grew to be 85lbs :)
It is hard to trust what breed people say dogs are, that Dobe mix supposed to be a Beagle mix LOL I know someone who got two supposed "purebred Lab" puppies from someone and as they grew up it was obvious they were mixed with something else - one looks like a Beagle/Lab and the other, I'm not sure but it is a mix without a doubt. People see a large, shorthaired dogs and often think "Lab".
Given the situation she came from it is extremely unlikely she would be mixed with Whippet, as they are just not that common of a breed. Pit Bulls have a a lot of variation in size and some purebreds weigh only 35lbs (which really is more correct than the 80+lb ones that are common these days).
