Wondering what my staff is crossed with

Hello, I've got a beautiful 9 nth staffy called Henry, he's soooo friendly and loving esp with my boys but I'm getting a lot of people telling me he's crossed with a pit.
From top of his shoulders to floor he is 19" so quite a big boy for only just 9 months.

He is very handsome, not sure what he may be crossed with maybe a chocolate lab going by his colour

Aww he gorgeous, hard to say but my first thought was boxer?

He is gorgeous  Not sure on the cross, maybe a lab because of the colour! He does have a very boxy nose though!

Nice looking dog.so hard to tell what dog he's crossed with, maybe lab, American bulldog, or could even be mixed with a few breeds like my pup. Any more pics?

I've just posted my reply back on the wrong topic lol oops, I'll try again.
Thanks guys, I'm tempted to have a DNA test on him but unsure, what would happen if it came back he had pit in him? I no his mum is a kc reg blue and I saw a pic of his dad who is white with a few black spots.

Oh my what a handsome boy! He's gorgeous, whatever he is.

He is stunning

Yeh he really is nice, I haven't actually seen a pit so I can't comment apart from google pics lol, if you can get a pic off the dad then I'm sure someone might know what he is

He's gorgeous, not sure of the cross but I do get fed up with people always saying pit when really they haven't a clue

He is very handsome, yes maybe boxer

I've no idea, but my mind springs to lab when I look at him.

I hope it is lab, in fact that's what I tell people when they ask, then they don't seem so frightened of him, even tho there's more chance of him licking someone to death, than there is him hurting anyone.
he has got a slight wave in his fur at the bottom of his back, is that a lab thing?

My lab zebby had a wave in the back of his fur!! By his bum

It depends who these people are, where they live, and how the word 'pitbull' is used locally. In different countries, the word can mean different things. In the UK, we're familiar with pitbull being associated with a specific breed - which is banned by the (flawed) Dangerous Dogs Act. When people say pitbull here, though there's no accounting for ignorance, they technically do not usually mean staffie.

In the US it's different. Pitbull is a generic term which applies to a range of dogs, the staffie being one of them. This is what wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_bull) is saying today: ' A "Pit Bull" is one of several breeds including the American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, American Bully, American Bulldog, Dogo Argentino, Presa Canario, Cane Corso, or any mix thereof. Any dog that is mixed with a "Bull breed" may also be called a "Pit Bull" including those that are descended from the English Bulldog, French Bulldog, and Boston Terrier'.

Though I dont believe my dog has any pitbull in him in the UK sense (the SSPCA thought he was appropriate for re-homing and that's good enough for me), there is no way that I would ask the question as it could lead into unhelpful territory.

Id have said boxer lab staffy cross he is gorgeous

Yeah that's ware Henry's is, I suppose it could explain his extra soppy temperament.

Awww!!

I've just found an excellent post about how to tell if your dog is crossed with a pit, so I'll be getting the tape measure out tomorrow lol.
It says that a staffy x lab can look like a pit type so fingers crossed.
If he is part lab I'm guessing he's going to be rather big? He is growing at a rate of knots.

I just met an American red nose pit bull terrier in the park, he is exempted, I've never met one before and he was gorgeous and looked nothing like ur one

Same as some of the others, first instinct was boxer and what a stunning dog he is too
