    Any guesses on breed?

    So I just got my pup, Levi, a week ago from Dogwatch. He's sooo gorgeous but me and my sis are still tossing up several breed mixes to figure out what he is. He's 6-8 mths old, and about 17kg (37lbs approx?) at the mo. The people at Dogwatch had him down as a boxer cross, his vet records had him down as a terrier cross, I reckon he's a staffy cross, and my sis reckons he's got mastiff in him. He does have a little underbite. Several people have mentioned the staffy face. But then again, a lot of people mistake him for a brother of my sister's dog, Pocket(Greyhound X) - so who can ya really trust? Any thoughts?
     
    In the pic, Levi is on the left, Pocket on the right.

    It's hard to say not seeing a body shot, but just from that pic he looks like a full APBT to me. Both of your dogs are beautiful, what shiny coats they have! [:)]

    Hey sorry about the bad pic - here's the one that's in my avatar that might me a bit easier to tell from. Any guesses how big he'll get as well? He's got pretty big front paws - but someone told me that it's better to tell from the length of their legs at 6mths?

    it looks like he could have something in him thats a bit smaller, he could have Lab. Its amazing how much he looks like your sister's dog! I can see why people say they look related! Levi is a cutie whatever he is!

    Don't think he's a Plotthound. They don't exist in New Zealand!! :)

    To me he looks like a boxer cross, possibly a pit cross, but I'm leaning more towards boxer for some unknown reason.

    I think I have settled, in my mind, for a Boxer/Pit Bull. He does look a lot like some pitbulls I've seen around the web, but he doesn't quite have the stocky, chesty build (maybe not yet). His legs are relatively long for a Pit Bull, so I think I'm tending towards a Boxer/Pit Bull. [;)]

    Alot of the APBTs you see online have been raised on serious vitamins and exercised quite a bit. And some breeders just breed for big dogs. To me he looks like a Pit Bull...maybe that and Labrador. Because his muzzle is kinda long for a APBT it resembles a Labs' snout. He actually looks similar to my dog Cynamon who is reverse brindle also.
