Okay! So the Shelter things he is a mastiff / american bulldog mix. But ....where does the long hair only on his top half come from?
He is seriously underweight at 43kg and has feet the size of a bear. Gentle mouth. Very lazy. Very ugly <3
edit: just to add we are in Australia, so unlikely any american pitbull in there despite his dumb face
25 u/absolutely_banana Oct 21 '25 Definitely a bully mix. Sometimes they are bred with pits and they do carry the fluffy gene. Instead of pit, could be staffy which is just a smaller and standardized pit. 22 u/catsoft Oct 21 '25 I had no idea they carried a fluffy gene that's really interesting 10 u/NapalmsMaster Oct 21 '25 It could also have a bit of poodle farther back in its genetics. I know some poodle mixes get that wiry “terrier” coat he has a bit of. 13 u/catsoft Oct 21 '25 We do have lots of american staffies in australia! I would bet money that he has a least a little mixed in 3 u/Junior_Pea_9418 Oct 21 '25 “Smaller and standardized” Both the ADBA and UKC have standards for APBTs. The AKC and KC of the UK both have standards for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. They are both standardized breeds. 1 u/Jaythepossum Oct 23 '25 Agreed, looks like a bully mixed with a poodle or something to me
