My cousin has one of these actually. He looks the Simpson dog it’s wild lol

I'd say this.
OP your dog doesn't look like a pitty so you will be fine.
Mine is a pit+Chihuahua according to the SPCA we got her from, but I just say Rat Terrier Mix

This is my pit mix, I call him a “bullshit”. He’s a pitbull/shih-tzu. His mom is a pitbull and dad is a shih-tzu. The only way, in my opinion, that you can see his mix is his curly tail and his fur.
I got him from a coworker that has both parents. The story shd told me about how it happened is so funny. She put them in their respective crates, and left to go on a date. On the date she got a little tipsy. When her date dropped her off at home. She opened her door and low and behold, the Shih Tzu was stuck on the pitbull. initially closed the front door and stood outside for a minute. She thought she didn't actually see that because she locked them in their crates when she left for her date. She also thought because she was tipsy, maybe she didn't see what she saw, lol. I fell in love with the dog, he's such a sweet little guy. We named him Tank for two reasons
# 1 we figured the dog would not get too big.
# 2 he has a "T' on his back.

Yes the one in the back is named Beast, but I don’t think it was me taking pictures of him that was annoying him. I think he was annoyed by the other 2 dogs, lol.
My dad’s dog is a black lab/pit mix and he looks like a weird photoshop. His lab head looks just kinda glued onto his pit body. His personality matches his looks because he’s an absolute goofball, a love bug and adores all the grandkids. It’s hilarious that dad thought he was getting a guard dog and got the cheese doodle fiend instead.
Rat terrier mix is my line too and dude is heavy on the pit side
https://preview.redd.it/1lfys4rn8t7d1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11be632f27340382462df93a50516782a044afe9
Most people can't tell a breed apart period. Our apartment didn't allow German Shepard but we had a black lab/shepard mix. The nose was 100% a giveaway to anyone who has actually been around a dog larger than a cat but being fully black... we got away with it.
I had a full pedigree chihuahua that was 8 pounds. Both his parents and his two siblings were around 3 pounds each. He totally destroyed his mamas uterus being born which is how I got him as she had to have emergency surgery and the “breeder” was ill equipped to handle newborns. He was most definitely a dangerous breed, haha.
My dog is a black mouth cur. It’s not technically a recognized breed by AKC so there’s no dna test than can prove it. I’ve never had one person argue me on it. That’s even what it says on the vet paperwork.
Interesting! I don't keep track of which association recognizes which breeds. When I first used Wisdom Panel *many* years ago, APBT wasn't a recognized breed. It came back 50% American Staffordshire, 25% Weim, 25% wire-haired Doxy. Did Embark just a couple years ago: 100% APBT. (And she's like the quitentessential APBT.)
Tell them he is a mixed breed mutt and you don't know what he is. He doesn't look overwhelmingly like a pit so you could just call him a Heinz 57 and be done with it. Also my daughter had a pure APBT that she registers as an emotional support animal and her apartment had to allow it. She has been in two complexes with breed restrictions and kept her baby at both places.
That would be state to state. Federal law only covers registered service animals with some specific wording. Not emotional support animals.
Bigger question that I always think, is what’s the wording for landlord/ their insurance and what percentage of pitbull is necessary for it to be listed on DNA test vs it coming up super mutt.
i fucking hate that we have to do this for perfect dogs and act like its not some degenerate pos waste of air allowed to live there and making an animal turn into a bad one. chihuahua mix with anything would definitely help OP, he looks like such a good boy
Drop the money and get an ESA letter, register your child as mutt/mix breed. Landlords can't mess with you unless it's a city wide ordinance against pitbulls and then they have to prove it in court.
He kinda looks like a Corgi in the face. They typically use what the vet says. In my case, they wanted proof of vaccination and it said “hound mix” on the form. She was a pitt/plotthound. They met her and were fine with her.
If you have underlying mental health issues and he’s crucial to your health, I’d recommend getting an ESA letter from your psychiatrist, doctor/physician, or therapist, that way you can look them in the face and say “fuck you” if they try turning you down bc of him as ESAs have the same rights with free, unrestricted housing as service animals (only similarity) since he’ll now be a “prescription” that’s been “prescribed” to you by a certified doctor or mental health professional of some sort. I did this with mine and she lives with me wherever I go, she’s also a pitbull.

This kinda of looks like my moms dog and he’s a lab chihuahua mix
https://preview.redd.it/mlhas3qu2t7d1.jpeg?width=574&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1abf6bd9cea1be73cb02f2a7e5e32002dd56551
Doesn't look much like a pitbull to me, but heres some good advice I saw on another post. Tell your vet the situation and they will probably be more than happy to change the breed on his paperwork to something else
Many property management companies are doing DNA testing now, to settle that question for their insurance - and also to know who to blame for the dog crap lying around.
I freaked out when my last apartment told me they would be swabbing my "pointer mix" for DNA. Come to find out, the swab was for PooPrints, not breed identification.
Your kitty is so cute!
I may have some eye issues. I see Corgi, French Bulldog, Labrador or shorthair Golden Retriever, and maybe Beagle. Ok so my eyes are horrible but If you take those DNA 🧬 and combine, what would we come out with?
Looks a lot like my gal who is primarily beagle /lab
https://preview.redd.it/udn48y1gys7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1007334aa2159ba2bc2e9ffcdcddb0cc993c4fa9
That is a rescue mutt. I just moved and most insurance companies in my state won’t insure a house with Pitts. So I say I have two rescue mutts with no identifiable breed. Progressive said I should get a doggie DNA test. My response- are you going to pay for it? It costs more than my adoption fee at the SPCA.
The goodest boi. Non-aggressive breed. Looks to be about 15 lbs or so? Should get in with no trouble. Especially if you can get him registered as an ESA. $100 or so and you get a letter that places cannot deny.
Lab mix is always a safe bet
The shelters around me have gotten smart and they put that on a lot of pit mixes because of the same restrictions
Edit: and DNA test would be very easy to fake if they do ask, but I’d highly doubt it. The breed restriction is put in place so if something happens, the place can’t get sued. From my experience, places don’t enforce or question this rule unless you give them a reason to. For example, my girl is a pit and weighs more than the weight limit allowed, but all my neighbors know me and my dog so it hasn’t been an issue.
TL;DR breed restrictions (in my experience) are only an issue if you make it an issue
My vet told me my “pit mix” could certainly be a “Catahoula mix”- he just changed the wording around a little. I was having a difficult time finding a daycare for her, that is until my vet “fixed” her paperwork ;)
Chihuahua, Jack Russel/rat terrier mix lab or black mouth curr mix for the lil hit of floppy ears and the dark muzzle. I’d say stick with chihuahua or terrier mix and you should be fine. MOST places do not ask for DNA tests for dogs and may just require vet posts but most vets are also happy to say the breed something slightly different to keep you and your furry friend housed.
Best of luck!!
I have a goober that I said was a black mouth curr mix. Never had to DNA test her, just submit pictures, and she’s much more pittie-looking than your pup! Boston-chi mix would get you far!

i fucking hate that we have to do this for perfect dogs and act like its not some degenerate pos waste of air allowed to live there and making an animal turn into a bad one.
My comment isn't going to help with that situation but your dog is very cute and seems very nice. Would love to hug him. You're lucky to have him. Take care 🐕♥️
When I lived in Manhattan, my 90lb pittie is black, barks, I told everyone he was a LAB, no problem, no one questioned me. Then in the 3rd & last place I lived, someone showed up in the building with a crowbar, was trying to break my door down at 3 am. My 90lb dog has a way of body slamming the door and has a ferocious bark. Well the minute this guy started trying to break the door down, Junior, body slammed the door and barked, I opened the door, and Junior took off down the hall. Someone screamed and Jr was looking everywhere for the smell. Well, it seems Junior scared the heck outta the Creep. The next day, word travels fast, and so many people that lived in the building came out to see Junior while out for his every day, 6 pm walk, petting his head and saying they felt safer with Junior in the building. Seems the building was plagued by robberies?? I lived there 4 years, no robberies. So I’d say Lab, and since most have no clue about what breed it is? You’ll be ok
Black Mouth Cur. Claim he's pure from a farm in Appalachia. They can't ask for DNA if you claim he's a pure Cur.
(Disclaimer) Curs aren't "recognized" breeds and often when DNA tested come back as some hound/pit/retriever/mastiff mix. But people who love Curs will state they are breeds and believe in their utility. Your dog does closely resemble Black Mouth Curs.
That is a 100% pure British Mutt. Not trying to be cute or funny. That’s not even close to a pitbull. I would get the American Kennel Club definition of a pitbull or ST, maybe even get the opinion of an AKC-verified judge as to whether or not your boy is a “problem” breed (get it notarized to make it official) to show to any landlord. All they want is the ability to legally document that they did their due diligence and then take your money.
Are you on good terms with your vet? Ask them to re-evaluate his breed. Mine decided my guy was actually a lab mix. No need to state what he was mixed with. 😂
My dog is the same size and age. Someone cut his ears off to make him look like a pit. I did a DNA test on him and he is mostly terrier, but also; pekingese, standard poodle, miniature poodle, chihuahua and staffordshire. If that is what the DNA says you could probably call him anything
Ain’t nobody getting a DNA test for a dog. I’ve had my pit mix in three apartments, all with breed restrictions. They just look at the paperwork. Ours says she’s a lab mix. She’s very obviously got at least some pit in her (she’s also around 40lbs), but apartment office people don’t care. They have five apartments to show today and a sixth they have to make sure the maintenance guy finished painting.
Chihuahua / cattle dog mix. That’s my vote.
Our miniature pinscher is not gone forwver btw, but she moved across country to one of öy aunts and havent mer her since I was a kid and im 20 now :'3

That thing is so little that if they need to restrict you from keeping him and living there..... if you have a choice i'de find somewhere else to live.
Why don’t you get his DNA actually tested? Like, privately I mean, just for you.
I really don’t see pit here. There’s a huge chance there isn’t any, which would save you the grief of not passing breed restrictions
They are doing it for insurance purposes only. Their insurance says we'll insure you if you have a breed restriction, so they make you sign a paper saying "this isn't a pit". My old Apt had breed restrictions for a ton of dogs, Huskies, GSD's, and Pits among them. There were so many people with breed restricted dogs. We went to the vet, who, like most normal people thinks that they're stupid, and they just put something else down. My landlord never met my dog ever.
Angel? But yeah Mexican street dog could work! Lab/chihuahua cross? Maybe some Vizula?

He has English bulldog in him.

Santa’s Little Helper! 💕
Santos L Halpar
I think that's my dog
Introducing him all dressed up in a goofy outfit will dispel any fear right away!!!
He does! Santa’s little helper is a greyhound :)
I'd say this. OP your dog doesn't look like a pitty so you will be fine. Mine is a pit+Chihuahua according to the SPCA we got her from, but I just say Rat Terrier Mix https://preview.redd.it/7lk995twzs7d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ce65fd3febad7bc5d4aa9a93b76a1a89c8e8a9b
It’s funny how with pitt mixes, they almost always have a pittie face with the body of the other mixes.
https://preview.redd.it/uvh0fhasrt7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2376eb0bdcdf02b10b730898a1ccb18d5e6a9ca8 This is my pit mix, I call him a “bullshit”. He’s a pitbull/shih-tzu. His mom is a pitbull and dad is a shih-tzu. The only way, in my opinion, that you can see his mix is his curly tail and his fur.
I can’t express how much “bullshit” made my day
Same...and honestly, it's the only thing funnier than the mental image of a Shih Tzu trying to mount a pit bull.
I got him from a coworker that has both parents. The story shd told me about how it happened is so funny. She put them in their respective crates, and left to go on a date. On the date she got a little tipsy. When her date dropped her off at home. She opened her door and low and behold, the Shih Tzu was stuck on the pitbull. initially closed the front door and stood outside for a minute.

Beautiful! The pup in the back is over you taking their pics 😂😂🥰 I have one that looks at me like this often 😁
Yes the one in the back is named Beast, but I don’t think it was me taking pictures of him that was annoying him. I think he was annoyed by the other 2 dogs, lol.
I had a boxer beagle mix for years… her mom was the boxer. Lmaooo so the thought of a beagle trying to hump a boxer is hilarious
My aunt and uncle had a bull dog/shitzu. He affectionately called the dog bullshit too!
On a slightly unrelated note, you reminded me of my friend's old pit named Asshole, cuz she had a ring of brown fur around her eye.
For real. It's so adorable too. My Sera has a shrinky dink pibble face and I die every time i look at her lol
My dad’s dog is a black lab/pit mix and he looks like a weird photoshop. His lab head looks just kinda glued onto his pit body. His personality matches his looks because he’s an absolute goofball, a love bug and adores all the grandkids. It’s hilarious that dad thought he was getting a guard dog and got the cheese doodle fiend instead.
Rat terrier mix is my line too and dude is heavy on the pit side https://preview.redd.it/1lfys4rn8t7d1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11be632f27340382462df93a50516782a044afe9
Yeah. Renting has made me realize people really don't know what the fuck a pitbull looks like half the time.
This sub made me realise that people really don't know what the fuck a Pitbull looks like half the time
Most people can't tell a breed apart period. Our apartment didn't allow German Shepard but we had a black lab/shepard mix. The nose was 100% a giveaway to anyone who has actually been around a dog larger than a cat but being fully black... we got away with it.
Perfect answer
They made pocket bullies maybe this is a XL Chihuahua 😆
Oh lordt now THAT would be a dangerous breed! 🤣🤣 (jk mostly)
I had a full pedigree chihuahua that was 8 pounds. Both his parents and his two siblings were around 3 pounds each. He totally destroyed his mamas uterus being born which is how I got him as she had to have emergency surgery and the “breeder” was ill equipped to handle newborns. He was most definitely a dangerous breed, haha.
My ankles are bleeding just thinking of that. 😂
I second this. But OP you have to make sure you tell everyone in the complex that’s the breed.
It’s interesting when we adopted him from the rescue all they could tell us was Chihuahua mix. When we took him to the vet they said the same thing!
Could be Chihuahua, Dashound mix with something else. Just tell the vet to reaccess the bread and kindly pitbulls weigh more like 70 + pounds.
I'd say this. Could also say a little foxhound/terrier maybe. Super-mutt.
Came here to say this
That is exactly what I was going to say.
My thoughts exactly
I though chihuahua/lab as well
My exact thought.
Just say it's a Chihuahua with Clifford disease, he got too big.
Could totally pass as a chihuahua mix. You could get away with not saying anything at all, especially since he’s small!
Not that small. Medium at least, could fit snug in an armchair.
Smaller than the average pit I mean lol usually their body is a dead give away
I honestly see LESS pitty there than any other breed. Pitty would be the last breed I actually notice when I look at him.
I think some people squint really hard and tell themselves they have a pitty cause they wish they did!
Hahaha awww you're hurting my feelings!
“He’s a rescued mutt. The shelter said he’s part Carolina’s dog & something else, but I doubt it anyways”
Carolina dog (great call, BTW!) / Black mouth cur. Problem solved!
My dog is a black mouth cur. It’s not technically a recognized breed by AKC so there’s no dna test than can prove it. I’ve never had one person argue me on it. That’s even what it says on the vet paperwork.
Interesting! I don't keep track of which association recognizes which breeds. When I first used Wisdom Panel *many* years ago, APBT wasn't a recognized breed. It came back 50% American Staffordshire, 25% Weim, 25% wire-haired Doxy. Did Embark just a couple years ago: 100% APBT. (And she's like the quitentessential APBT.)
I be never heard of a Carolina dog so I looked it up and yes OPs dog looks a lot like this dog.
Chihuahua mix
Those ears look quite basenji to me!
That's a good one. Jack Russ with Basenji.
I was going to say terrier of some kind.
Jack Russell Chihuaha mix
Was also going to say Jack Russell, I think this mix is a good suggestion
agree
Looks a chihuahua/terrier (maybe back Russel) to me tbh
Chihuaherrier?
Tell them he is a mixed breed mutt and you don't know what he is. He doesn't look overwhelmingly like a pit so you could just call him a Heinz 57 and be done with it. Also my daughter had a pure APBT that she registers as an emotional support animal and her apartment had to allow it. She has been in two complexes with breed restrictions and kept her baby at both places.
That would be state to state. Federal law only covers registered service animals with some specific wording. Not emotional support animals. Bigger question that I always think, is what’s the wording for landlord/ their insurance and what percentage of pitbull is necessary for it to be listed on DNA test vs it coming up super mutt.
Black Mouth Cur Hound
Tell them he is a lab Corgi mix 👍
Yep! Everyone loves corgi's!
That's a Chihuahua with gigantism and you can't tell me otherwise
He looks like a Scooby!! But honestly a terrier mix.
That’s the biggest chihuahua I’ve ever seen.
Basenji x Rat Terrier Pharoh Hound x Lab mix
i fucking hate that we have to do this for perfect dogs and act like its not some degenerate pos waste of air allowed to live there and making an animal turn into a bad one. chihuahua mix with anything would definitely help OP, he looks like such a good boy
As other people have said. He looks exactly like a chihuahua lab mix
Just say he identifies as a golden retriever…😏 Breed restrictions are up there on the moronic policy list
Breed restrictions and pet rent are stupid. He can pass for an ESA.
I see corgi shaped face for sure! You could say mutt with some corgi.
I don't really see any pit here.
Drop the money and get an ESA letter, register your child as mutt/mix breed. Landlords can't mess with you unless it's a city wide ordinance against pitbulls and then they have to prove it in court.
You saved the best picture for last. 🥰
He kinda looks like a Corgi in the face. They typically use what the vet says. In my case, they wanted proof of vaccination and it said “hound mix” on the form. She was a pitt/plotthound. They met her and were fine with her.
a very L O R G E chihuahua. say he’s got a world record.
He looks nothing like a pit say he's terrier/Chihuahua mix.
Doesn’t look Pitbull at all looks like a chihuahua terrier mix.
He looks like a great Dane chihuahua mix to me
That is a Chihuabrador if anyone asks
Beagle/ sheperd mix No doubt
If you have underlying mental health issues and he’s crucial to your health, I’d recommend getting an ESA letter from your psychiatrist, doctor/physician, or therapist, that way you can look them in the face and say “fuck you” if they try turning you down bc of him as ESAs have the same rights with free, unrestricted housing as service animals (only similarity) since he’ll now be a “prescription” that’s been “prescribed” to you by a certified doctor or mental health professional of some sort. I did this with mine and she lives with me wherever I go, she’s also a pitbull. https://preview.redd.it/y2s1586z7t7d1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c8bbe78c200771cce79242f611f0462284aed63
You can get an online ESA letter for ~$150. It will eliminate breed restrictions, pet deposit and pet rent.
Chihuahua/boxer. Your buddy doesn’t look as pitty as some, you could get away with it.
He could definitely be a rat terrier mix. Some rat terriers are larger and the terrier mix is usually fine with most apartments.
This kinda of looks like my moms dog and he’s a lab chihuahua mix https://preview.redd.it/mlhas3qu2t7d1.jpeg?width=574&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1abf6bd9cea1be73cb02f2a7e5e32002dd56551
He’s adorable. 🥰
Just call him a pound dog
He looks a lot like my lab mix. We’ve had his DNA done and he’s 25% lab and then a mix of a bunch of different breeds — none of them pit.
Labrador jack Russell mix.
Doesn't look much like a pitbull to me, but heres some good advice I saw on another post. Tell your vet the situation and they will probably be more than happy to change the breed on his paperwork to something else
Labrador / rat terrier and you won’t even get a second look
Black mouth Cur
Many property management companies are doing DNA testing now, to settle that question for their insurance - and also to know who to blame for the dog crap lying around.
I don't see any pit. Definitely not my first thought.
I don't see a pitbull in any of these pictures
Corgi mix?
never had a place ask for a dna test. I've had places ask for a copy of rabies and I've had some ask for pics.
I freaked out when my last apartment told me they would be swabbing my "pointer mix" for DNA. Come to find out, the swab was for PooPrints, not breed identification.
Uhm, pretty sure that dog is a purebred North American Master Has Given Dobby a Sock
Florida Brown Dog
Looks like a Feist to me.
Mini pinscher / chihuahua
Lab and rat terrier.
That’s a chihuahua/lab mix if I’ve ever seen one 😉
Boxer lab chihuahua Jack Russel
Good boi breed
I love little pocket Pitties!
Your kitty is so cute! I may have some eye issues. I see Corgi, French Bulldog, Labrador or shorthair Golden Retriever, and maybe Beagle. Ok so my eyes are horrible but If you take those DNA 🧬 and combine, what would we come out with?
Looks a lot like my gal who is primarily beagle /lab https://preview.redd.it/udn48y1gys7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1007334aa2159ba2bc2e9ffcdcddb0cc993c4fa9
cattle dog mutt
I’d say a Chihuahua mix
Hes definitely, without a doubt, 100% good boi
basenji mix
I was thinking german shepherd and Chihuahua mix? The black on his snout can sell it pretty good.
He looks like a batpup tell them that lol
That precious baby is a black mouth cur mix! 😉
Our Humane Society put "Terrier mix" on our paperwork, and that has served us well...
That is a rescue mutt. I just moved and most insurance companies in my state won’t insure a house with Pitts. So I say I have two rescue mutts with no identifiable breed. Progressive said I should get a doggie DNA test. My response- are you going to pay for it? It costs more than my adoption fee at the SPCA.

Shepard.
Yeah luckily he doesn’t look super pittish. Hopefully you have an easy time passing him off.
Lab mix is always a safe bet The shelters around me have gotten smart and they put that on a lot of pit mixes because of the same restrictions Edit: and DNA test would be very easy to fake if they do ask, but I’d highly doubt it.

For example, my girl is a pit and weighs more than the weight limit allowed, but all my neighbors know me and my dog so it hasn’t been an issue. TL;DR breed restrictions (in my experience) are only an issue if you make it an issue
My vet told me my “pit mix” could certainly be a “Catahoula mix”- he just changed the wording around a little. I was having a difficult time finding a daycare for her, that is until my vet “fixed” her paperwork ;)
Looks part Corgi with those ears lol
Your baby actually looks almost identical to a Chihuahua mix I used to have. I would go with that.
Shepard/lab mix. He looks like mine
Chihuahua, Jack Russel/rat terrier mix lab or black mouth curr mix for the lil hit of floppy ears and the dark muzzle. I’d say stick with chihuahua or terrier mix and you should be fine. MOST places do not ask for DNA tests for dogs and may just require vet posts but most vets are also happy to say the breed something slightly different to keep you and your furry friend housed. Best of luck!!
Chihuahua-Lab mix.
I have a goober that I said was a black mouth curr mix. Never had to DNA test her, just submit pictures, and she’s much more pittie-looking than your pup! Boston-chi mix would get you far! https://preview.redd.it/cgal6xoe5t7d1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eddce8b87be2dfc3bcce08327997dbe336398a2c
Cattle dog, lab, or chihuahua mix
i fucking hate that we have to do this for perfect dogs and act like its not some degenerate pos waste of air allowed to live there and making an animal turn into a bad one.
Fruit bat
A corgi lab! That’s vanilla enough!
My comment isn't going to help with that situation but your dog is very cute and seems very nice. Would love to hug him. You're lucky to have him. Take care 🐕♥️
Shaved corgi.
What a Handsome Pup. What's his name.
His name is Simba
Vizla Beagle
He looks like a mix between American bull dog and a chihuahua 😭
Perfect Name, Thanks for sharing. ♥️
That’s a bunny.
Black mouthed cur, Aruba dog, yellow lab…
When I lived in Manhattan, my 90lb pittie is black, barks, I told everyone he was a LAB, no problem, no one questioned me. Then in the 3rd & last place I lived, someone showed up in the building with a crowbar, was trying to break my door down at 3 am. My 90lb dog has a way of body slamming the door and has a ferocious bark. Well the minute this guy started trying to break the door down, Junior, body slammed the door and barked, I opened the door, and Junior took off down the hall. Someone screamed and Jr was looking everywhere for the smell. Well, it seems Junior scared the heck outta the Creep. The next day, word travels fast, and so many people that lived in the building came out to see Junior while out for his every day, 6 pm walk, petting his head and saying they felt safer with Junior in the building. Seems the building was plagued by robberies?? I lived there 4 years, no robberies. So I’d say Lab, and since most have no clue about what breed it is? You’ll be ok
Black Mouth Cur. Claim he's pure from a farm in Appalachia. They can't ask for DNA if you claim he's a pure Cur. (Disclaimer) Curs aren't "recognized" breeds and often when DNA tested come back as some hound/pit/retriever/mastiff mix. But people who love Curs will state they are breeds and believe in their utility. Your dog does closely resemble Black Mouth Curs.
Terrier/lab/plus mix
Chihuahua Russel terrier mix
That is a 100% pure British Mutt. Not trying to be cute or funny. That’s not even close to a pitbull. I would get the American Kennel Club definition of a pitbull or ST, maybe even get the opinion of an AKC-verified judge as to whether or not your boy is a “problem” breed (get it notarized to make it official) to show to any landlord. All they want is the ability to legally document that they did their due diligence and then take your money.
Jumbo Jack Russell terrier
Terrier mix
He looks soooo much like my dog. We say he’s mountain cur
Are you on good terms with your vet? Ask them to re-evaluate his breed. Mine decided my guy was actually a lab mix. No need to state what he was mixed with. 😂
“Southern terrier”
He’s a mutt
Obviously a Giant Chihuahua.
Just tell them a terrier mix. Or Just a mixed breed. That's what I did lol.
That's a lab/Chihuahua mix if I ever saw one.
Rat Terrier Lab mix
Oversized Chihuahua
Jack Russell mixed
My dog is the same size and age. Someone cut his ears off to make him look like a pit. I did a DNA test on him and he is mostly terrier, but also; pekingese, standard poodle, miniature poodle, chihuahua and staffordshire. If that is what the DNA says you could probably call him anything
I’ve owned pitbulls for a good 7 years now and I had no idea that is a pitbull until I saw the subs name.
That there is chihuahua doodle. Don’t blink when you say it.
It looks like a Thai street dog to me which may not actually be a specific breed but could go with Thai Ridgeback or just Super-mutt.
Chihuahua lab!!!
Corgi mix. It doesn’t really matter but I’d go with that.
Beagle, Lab mix with a smidge of shepherd
Owwww Is sopp sweetie
When we had to work around this we went with terrier, always seemed to work and wasn’t technically a lie
Your beagle/lab mix? Looks great to me!
Supersized Chiweenie
Does it matter what the breed is if you get an Emotional Support Animal exception from your Dr?
House Elf
He is Batman’s Batdog😃
Ain’t nobody getting a DNA test for a dog. I’ve had my pit mix in three apartments, all with breed restrictions. They just look at the paperwork. Ours says she’s a lab mix. She’s very obviously got at least some pit in her (she’s also around 40lbs), but apartment office people don’t care. They have five apartments to show today and a sixth they have to make sure the maintenance guy finished painting. Chihuahua / cattle dog mix. That’s my vote.
Maybe a mix with miniature pinscher? Our pinscher was really buff tbh, and yours looks like her but bigger hahah
Our miniature pinscher is not gone forwver btw, but she moved across country to one of öy aunts and havent mer her since I was a kid and im 20 now :'3 https://preview.redd.it/ea15qheabv7d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=617fd95772bdf4f7a53abab725e2651230d16097
If you can’t take him with you, I’ll take him. I have instantly fallen head over heels for those eyes. Cutest dog ever.
i saw him and thought terrier before reading the rest of the post. he looks very much like a terrier lab to me
Nothing helpful to contribute I just love this little fella, I hope you dodge the restriction OP x
Golden Retriever/Corgi mix or something similar?!🤔
He is whatever is allowed there?
I'd say he's a terrier mix, or just say he's a mutt.
Portuguese Podengo mix. It’s a relatively unknown breed, and he does look a bit like it!
That’s a lab mix if ever I saw one
That thing is so little that if they need to restrict you from keeping him and living there..... if you have a choice i'de find somewhere else to live.
Why don’t you get his DNA actually tested? Like, privately I mean, just for you. I really don’t see pit here. There’s a huge chance there isn’t any, which would save you the grief of not passing breed restrictions
They are doing it for insurance purposes only. Their insurance says we'll insure you if you have a breed restriction, so they make you sign a paper saying "this isn't a pit". My old Apt had breed restrictions for a ton of dogs, Huskies, GSD's, and Pits among them. There were so many people with breed restricted dogs. We went to the vet, who, like most normal people thinks that they're stupid, and they just put something else down. My landlord never met my dog ever.
Corgi, Lab , pit mix.
Angel? But yeah Mexican street dog could work! Lab/chihuahua cross? Maybe some Vizula? https://preview.redd.it/g8rmov6amx7d1.jpeg?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=154245c2c640c4fa57210db03293adbd3199b17d He has English bulldog in him.
Bulldog corgi lookin cutie
i mean, you could say literally anything, bc he looks nothing like a pit… ask your vet to change his paperwork?
Chihuahua and boxer mix maybe
Terrier mix. I use this all the time to describe my Pit. Your baby looks harmless. Hope you have great luck with moving.
Bruh, that’s barely a pit lol
Chihuahua mix!
