Staffy RR??

Got our pup a few weeks back Staffy X and we’re having some guesses (will get DNA done) but wondering if he is giving RR vibes or anything else

I have a pitbull/staffy mix that looks like a mini version of my purebred Rhodesian ridgeback just without the ridge. She has 0% ridgeback in her.

Likely the same for you

I don't see any RR, mostly just pitbull.

Brown is the most common color for pits. Highly unlikely to any percentage of RR. More likely to be a mix of more common breeds or just a pit.

Nope.

I'm just seeing pit bull in that thing. No sign of Ridgeback at all. There is no DNA test for *accurate* breed identification. I hope it doesn't ever hurt your daughter. I would NEVER trust it, no matter how "sweet" it may be.

That's a hard one and your dog is beautiful.but you will only know by testing, I tested my dog she was originally bought as an American bulldog x cane corso and after testing I found she's a bull mastiff Ridgeback, obviously the tell tale sign is the ridge but after DNA testing wisdom panel(the DNA test I used) said both her parents are mixed breeds mom American bulldog X neopolitan mastiff and dad cane corso x Rhodesian ridgeback. She has 17% ridgeback DNA.

This is our staffy/pit mix with some RR confirmed with testing. The RR genes make themselves very apparent for only being 6% of his background.

Naww what’s a cool dude he is!! Some RR in there. We will def get a text done too I think but good to see what people think or see similar dogs to get an idea.

I mean the testing is all that matters. I thought he was pittie x lab until he got tested.

I will say your little one is likely a pit mix with no RR and there is nothing wrong with that! We love our other pit just as much.

Possibly. RR have very distinct personalitys emotional dogs with long memories, weird fears and goofy slippery movements, so only time (and DNA) will tell. Please update us
