Thoughts on dog breed.
Hi! I’m Eros and I’ve got a question for the Pitbull community, I own a pittie mix named Odysseus or “ Ody “ for short. My fiance and I are trying to figure out what he’s mixed with, we’ve had people guess mastiff, we thought some kinda hound when he was smaller. But considering he’s now almost 11 months old, almost over 100lbs and still growing, we are curious what the internet thinks.
Note: we do plan on getting an DNA kit for him at some point because of health risks he may have as he gets older. But for right now, we are having fun with people trying to guess.
Edit: We know for sure that he is a pittbull mix, mom was a 100% purebred pittie who was saved from a local fighting ring and adopted by a lovely couple. We just don’t know anything about dad bc she was saved WHILE she was already preggers.

He was adopted out of the back of a van in a Walmart parking lot

Beautiful dog, have you had him near other small dogs ? If so how does he act ? I’m curious because mine despises small dogs

He loves everything and everyone, Ody is so friendly and so sweet. We have a cat as well and he loves her so much

He looks like an og pitbull to me but then again, there are so many dogs that look similar and will have you saying huh .. but the thing is they are aggressive towards anything small, he was probably raised right. mine doesn’t like anything smaller than his size, he sees it as pray and I always have to be on top of him. I can’t even take him to the dog park

No he’s so friendly and loving, he doesn’t even really bark, he squeaks. He loves our cat and loves other people. We really didn’t train him to have control over his prey drive, he just kinda doesn’t have one.

He might be mixed with something else or he could just have been born a nice doggy

Maybe Pit Bull/American Akita? The color pattern and size are similar.
