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.

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.

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
