    hmm.. I'm not so good with puppies and pictures, but from those - she looks like a lab/pit/malinois/something.

    What is her personality like? How much does she weight? Where did you get her from (that can sometimes give pretty good clues...)

    Hello yeah im considered Pinellas Park, but people normally arent sure where that is if they arent in FL. LoL

    Well she is suppose to be Pit and that's all I have heard. I get shepherd mix alot, my vet tHiNkS shepherd/pit but everyone thinks she's just too young to be for sure. She's 5 months old, 26pounds, pretty good dog - learns fast. I got her from an ad on craigslist, and Ive tried NUMEROUS times to get ahold of the guy who I got her from to see pics of parents, no answer. Here is her litter, she's the skinny faced one to the right. LoL I feel her litter looked more pit than her.

    aww. what cuties! I know exactly where that is! down the road a ways. =]

    Once she hits around 9-10 months you'll have a much better idea of what she is. She looks a bit like the girl I'm working with right now, but we have no clue what her mix is either. There are pictures of her in the breeds section - Micha.

     With her smaller size (i.e. likely less than 50lbs full grown since she's only 26lbs at 5 mo) I think there has to be something else in her besides just pit/shep/malinois which would've been my first guess.  No idea what though lol.

    • Gold Top Dog

    unlikely to be shepherd or lab at that size; I'd guess wildly am staff mixed with some type of small smooth-coated terrier?  anyway, who cares, those ears are awesome.

    I see more Malinois than Shepherd.  Pit/Mali/something smaller? 

    • Gold Top Dog

    There are some real idoits out there purposely crossing malinois and pit bulls.  Looking at the litter pics suggests the pit mal even more.  When you have crosses you can get a real mix of traits.  The puppy could be from  working line malinois, some of them have those big, blocky, heads.  Many working mals have outcrosses to different breeds.  Then those offspring are bred back to mals.  Doesnt appear to be the case here, but you never know.

    Pit/Mali/something smaller

     

    That was my first guess. She's so cute! Going to be beautiful! You can tell by looking at the ears in the litter pictures that they're a mix. The ears are totally different sizes. 

    Welcome to the board!  Smile

    You're Belle looks a little like our Belle....you can see photos in my profile.

     Our is just under 50 pounds at 3 years old, and we figure she is a lab/PBT mix.  We have a 6-month old baby in the house too, and we call them Princess One and Princess Two!

     Your Belle is adorable and will melt you're heart, I am sure!

    Thanks, she's melted my heart already.Smile
