i was wondering what she could be, i know withought a pedigree you will never know if shes mixed or not but im confused. So with everything ive read APBT should be tall, slim, and not on the heavy side. and am bullies are short, stoky and alot heavier then APBT. But this dog is short and more on the stocky side but shes not getting much bigger then 43lbs, shes almost 2yo. i dont have any of her standing and these are really crapy

Looks like an APBT mix ..not really ambully looking to me.

Something about her reminds me of an SBT. So, I say SBT mix.

[dwestemesse]

ah yeah i just looked at the SBT pictures and her body type looks alot like that

[avavavava]

I would say SBT mix too. Beautiful girl!

[yespkorg]

She looks just like mine. He is and SBT-EBT x APBT

I don't see SBT at all. All I do see is Bull & Terrier though. If there's other breeds, I don't see it in those pictures.

This. SBTs have a distinct head and body shape. My APBT Ruger is the same size/build as your girl, best as I can tell from the laying down pictures. She looks like a "generic pit bull type mix" - and I don't mean that in a bad way! She's very cute

[dwestemesse]

not taking it in a bad way lol thank you shes my friends and ive known her and taken care of her since she was a puppy, shes the reason i bought my dog cali :P

[avaiguite]

cute dog... i would say sbt x apbt mix

[lammaredder]

Show-bred SBT's have that head and shape. If I ever showed you a picture of my dog's dam you would swear up and down that she is an ADBA bred APBT. Her head is wedge-shaped with the long muzzle just like the photo JoeBingo posted on another thread. Even with my dog you wouldn't really be able to tell. She could very well be a SBT mix but since this is N.A. I'll lean towards generic "pit bull". My dog is on this website. He's the first picture upper right: A & A Veterinary Hospital

For those interested in the AKC breed standard for the SBT here is a link.
Head Shape:
Short, deep through, broad skull, very pronounced cheek muscles, distinct stop, short foreface, black nose.
American Kennel Club - Staffordshire Bull Terrier

And for the UKC
HEAD - The head is short and deep throughout with a distinct stop.
SKULL - The skull is broad and the cheek muscles are very pronounced.
MUZZLE - the foreface is short, with strong jaws and clean, tight lips.

I don't think a wedge shaped head is acceptable in either registry. At least not for competition (show) conformation purposes.

thanks for the info joe

There ARE "sporting bred" SBTs in England (where the breed is from) that resemble APBTs more than AKC/UKC show bred SBTs... but there is still a definite difference in the build and head... to me, anyways.

coming across a working bred SBT like that would seem a bit out there IMO. but it could happen i suppose. given the weight and stuff, id say amstaff mixed with some other breeds.

[dwestemesse]

heres a standing picture i found, its tiny and crapy too lol but it shows her body kinda

[Petrushkaukrop]

She's a real cutie 4 sure !!!

[favwebbb]

She IS a cutie!
