Dog Lover asked in PetsDogs · 1 decade ago

Any guesses as to what my boy is?

I always fine these fun to do, was wondering what you guys think my dog is mixed with. I personally see bully/boxer mix in him. And I know ya'll will say husky because of the eyes, but a lot of dogs have blue eyes. :P

Some videos to see his body better:

He's currently about 55 pounds, rather built I'd say but not overly muscular either.

Personality: Intelligent, stubborn, goofy, high prey drive.

Update:

You know what it's funny. Some people have asked in the past if he's a ridggie mix, I don't think his build is very much like one as he's a bit too short but if he's a mix...maybe. :P

Update 2:

Summer: I've come to love pitties because of my boy actually. :P Even if he is not a fully pit or one at all. I don't exactly see Cane Corso but...who knows. :p I did get the DNA test(absolute bull IMO) and they said Boxer, American Bulldog, Rottie and...Toy Poodle?

Update 3:

No Love: He actually does look like one a bit! Though his face isn't as wrinkly. Catahoula's are gorgeous dogs. <3

Update 4:

Kristin B ©: So glad I could confuse you haha!

    That boy is a Heinz 57! Those bright blue eyes tell me it's most likely not sheperd that gives him his sheperdyness - (made up words r fun) - I think he's probably mostly husky and pit bull. Hope your not anti pit - they are very good dogs but stubborn :) There could also be some boxer, rhodesian ridgeback, or even cane corso in there. But I'm pretty sure it's more than 2 breeds. You should do a dna test and let us know!

    I'm not sure about Ridgeback, or Cane Corso.

    Could very well be Am. Bulldog mix, and Pit?

    The black colored back ish on him makes me think a Shepherd of some sort... But, it's hard to say?

    You've got a difficult one there! lol

    EDIT: yes, the blue eyes are from merle, which is a genetic trait. However, APBTs are NOT a breed that produces merle. Any supposed APBT that has merle traits (spotted coat, blue eyes) is a mixed bred dog, and NOT a purebred APBT.

    He almost looks like a "Catahoula Bulldog" this isnt a purebred its a mutt but is used for boar hunting. I think he is a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, with some type of bully breed. Catahoulas have blue eyes too. Catahoulas are actually pretty common in the south for hog hunting.

    Here is a Catahoula X Bulldog:

    This is a Catahoula Leopard Dog:

    EDIT: Not all CAtahoula X Bulldogs faces are wrinkly that was just similar coloring, heres some more picks, theyre mutts so they all look different:

    I don't see Bully or Boxer at all.

    I see Catahoula Leopard Dog, and possibly some Ridgeback. I think he's a Catahoula/Ridgeback :)

    The muzzle is too long, and he is too tall to have any Pit Bull in him - He has NONE of the features an APBT does, but he is gorgeous nonetheless.

    I think maybe rhodesian ridgeback and pit bull, He reminds me of my dog quite a bit, a lab mix (? on the mixed part) but I am told my dog looks part pit which may be why your dog reminds me of mine. The description of your dog is a lot like mine, he weighs the same not overly muscular, is intelligent, and goofy.

  • 1 decade ago

    You can not guess his mix just because of his pretty blue eyes.

    There is a genetic defect that can result in blue eyes in almost any breed that can produce Merle.

    Our friend has what is called a "blue" pitbull and she has a smokey grayish blue coat with blue eyes like your dogs.

    But to Me..he looks like a mix of American Bully {pitt} and Bloodhound or maybe even Australian cattle dog.

  • I see a few things. For one, Pit Bull <3

    I also see boxer, maybe ridgeback/shepherd.

    Cutteee. Love the eyes!

    Gosh!! A little bit of everything. A few breeds popped into my head: Shepherd, APBT, Husky, Rottie, Ridgeback.. just a good ol' Heinz 57!

  • 1 decade ago

    He looks like Boxer and Ridgeback to me. I have no idea where the blue eyes came from,but he is a beautiful dog.

  • 1 decade ago

    definitely not a cane corso! but he does in a way look like a rodeshian ridgeback..but he has no ridgeback..like everyone is saying, he looks like a ridgeback/pitbull/catahoula mix...lol
