What is Taz?

All i know he is supposed to be a staff cross jack russell but he has really long legs and a slender face what do you think he is?
I got told his mum and dad are short legged but then i got told his father was a staff and mother a pitbull i have no idea. all the staff cross jackrussells iv see online or off look nothing like him maybe's he's an odd ball like Blondy and yet iv seen blondy's color on a pitbull.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

all cross breeds are different it very rare having 2 the same even in the same litter, i dont have a problem with pit's if anybody ask what my dogs was i would say staffy X and try to keep away of saying pitbull...

Yea agree with steve completley. There is so much variation in kc reg staffords let alone cross breeds!! Your dogs are defo nothing to do with pits but even if they were (which they defo are not) staffy cross is fine to tell people if they ask.

so no one see's pit in him? i love all dogs but i don't think i have mind for a pitbull

very unlikely but remeber pitbull are banned in the uk it's a staffy X

Alright great so just incase i won't go through with a DNA test at my vets then.

i think DNA test are dodgy all they will tell u is that your dog is dog, i wouldn't even bother getting one done so many breeds are so close related it's improssible i would say.

Alright great thanks guys

i could be mistaken but i'm sure i watch something about the Dog DNA scam that a people are making alot of money off because all the fuss a while back when all the pitbulls was seized in liverpool.

DNA testing is a load of bull in my opinion and im suprised the vet is reccommending it! The likelyhood of it giving u a definitive answer isnt great. As already said ur dogs are staffy crosses end of! No need to even mention the word pit or pit type as 1. your dogs are most definatley not pit type and 2. Pitbulls are banned so if ur dog is found to be a pit type u may be faced with it being put to sleep. Hope this helps

i just had a look at taz, i cant see any pittbull in him, i say your bang on the money when you say he is a staffy x jackrussel, regarding DNA, test you will probably find pittbull somewhere in the genes, cause the staffy breed was derived from the pitt bull, and they are distant cousins.

he's so tall in the legs and his muzzle is longer but alright thank you for taking a look

it doen't mean he got pit in him, staffy x lab look abit like pits or even sometimes staffy x whipet if you get a right pup look abit like a pit the list go on

staffy boxer cross look spitting double of a pitbull like its been said there can be loads of combos that can look pit

Totally agree.

You could even say to people that he's a Jack Russell cross! The longer muzzle is an indication of the lack of pit bull to be honest. PBT's have a similar muzzle length to staffords so a longer narrower muzzle would indicate crossing with another breed.

as we have said before on other treads the vet can tell you anything they like they just want the money dna testing is a load of pants and thats what i think

does it really matter what he is, hes still a fine dog, reading between the lines miss rouge it looks like you want him to have pittbull in him, if that's the case just tell everyone hes a Pitt bull staffy x

Alright great I'll be tracking down his parents tomorrow, but thanks guys
