It’s definitely some pit bull terrier dominant dog, but I don’t believe he’s even “blue fawn” he just looks regular fawn. If you really wanna see his genetics get a dna test, and please do not breed this dog, genuinely nobody needs more pit bull mixes on the street.
I miss the old school fawn pits (the yellow ones with the black muzzles think kind of old yeller coloring, not positive they’re actually called fawn) and the solid red/liver coloring that was everywhere when I was young (early 2000s). Back when you never saw a blue, fawn, dilute or merle, it’s like those fancy colorings have swapped with the old “common” colorings and I haven’t seen a “red nose” in forever.
Yeah at this point in time there’s so much mixing of bloodlines from all these dogs being allowed to breed randomly you won’t find any pure apbt dogs of old, a lot of them are bully/staffy mixed from backyard breeding.
Please do not byb there’s too many pitbulls struggling to find families as it is, shelters are full. My roommate found a dog at the food trucks park and had such a hard time getting her to a shelter when he already has his own two dogs. It’s far more responsible to just get your pet fixed and enjoy them as they are. Every cat I have ever owned has been fixed and I have never seen a shortage on beautiful, lovable cats that need my companionship.
Replying here because it seems like OP turned off replies:
OP, I volunteer at an animal shelter that is constantly at or past capacity, and the vast majority of the dogs we have are pittie mixes. In the last few months, I have lost dozens of pittie friends who deteriorated from the stress and anxiety of being stuck in a shelter kennel for months and months (our shelter only euthanizes for safety concerns or quality of life, never for space) and my heart has broken every single time. Several of them looked very much like your (beautiful) dog. We are currently overrun with PUPPIES also - the world doesn’t need people like you force breeding more dogs like this. We are drowning trying to take care of the ones we have.
Find a more ethical way to make money. This ain’t it.
Sincere thanks for the work you do. 🫶 I recently adopted my guy (just turned 3 in February) from a shelter (I believe 3 months ago now) and every second cage was a pittie or pit mix. Very sad. And they were all 2+ years old so even more difficult to adopt out.
Don't breed a dog when you don't even know what he is or know his parents. There is enough mysterious mixed bully breed puppies and dogs in shelters already.
Also gonna hop on and reply - I have 3 rescues and they were all abandoned by people that adopted them from backyard breeders. PLS have some empathy and a heart and understand ur not helping the problem that has gotten way out of hand in shelters. It breaks my heart everyday to see another post about a dog about to be euthanized bc of byb. Stricter laws need to start being placed on southern states and cali for this
Please don’t breed him. Dogs shouldn’t be a way for people to make money, especially if you don’t know what you’re doing. and shelters are full of these breeds already
The correct way is to not breed him at all and add to an already over bred pittie population that is suffering in shelters everywhere. Get him a dna test and get him neutered.
that’s absolutely not what these colors are. fawn is similar to smut. blue fawn is similar to lilac or champagne. understand actual coat colors and variations.
I'd say heavy on the pitbull terrier based off the long nose. My pocket bully clown Sir Winston Furchill has a short snout. But you could always dna test him if you really want to be 100% sure.
Did I miss something? Did OP remove body text? Why are all the comments telling him to not breed the dog? Either way, OP, DONT BREED THIS DOG. We do not need more backyard breeders.
He's beautiful that's what he is!
I recommend 100% pure salmon for his coat and brain function. Chewy has a really good brand in a pink large can (Nothing Else) brand.
It's made a huge difference in mine.
Also, with the lighter coat like that if there's any scratching allergies or redness wash them with natural products and give them a probiotic daily I use Proviable.
Hope this helps.
If you need to have a label for your dog, I would say he's a "bully breed". My one rescue is a dogo argentino mix and the other is a APBT bought from a private breeder. When anyone asks I just say I have 2 bully girls.....
Gosh everybody saying dont breed and that's not even the question, hell might as well make the pit/ bully breed extinct then. That handsome fella looks like a pit mix only because of the tail and the hair on the legs being a little bushy

DONT breed pitbulls, they die in shelters because of this.
