i also think rottie half but the white spot on his chest and under his chin plus the brindle where a rott would be brown is making me think apbt or am bulldog plus my dads rotti weighs twice the weight of gill. being adopted out and not knowing his partents we will never know thanks for your input everyone.

I'd say Rottie mix

As for his size, most Rotts are really too huge here in the USA. Breed for that over the top monster look, not for working...

He favors a black and tan with white markings, but I'm a little thrown by the brindle. Of course, I'm in no way an expert on black and tan APBT's.
Good looking guy, no doubt.

thanks again for all your thoughts on my post.

Yup. looks like a rottie stood too close to the fence & a local bully sneaked up. Something rangy in their, a bit of hound or cattle dog. Huntaways are very rangy have similar colouring, the legs particularly. Is your dog a barker or show any herding behaviour?

Everybody is saying rotti because of the colors. It's really hard to tell because he's sitting in all the pics, we can't see how he's put together.

From the head shots, I agree with Galadriel...there are pure bred black and tan APBTs, and he could be one. He seems to be shaped like an APBT and it's easy to let the markings throw you off.

However, a rottie bred to a lab or a hound could potentially give you the same appearance. The coat might be a clue...rotties and most other breeds have longer, coarser hair than most bully breeds.

One thing that threw me off is in the first pic, his cheek mole thing (can't remember what it's called)...the whiskers coming from it seem longer than in APBTs...but that could be just because they are more noticable on that color pattern.

How long are his hairs?

To me the colors don't really say ROTT but the first image reminds me of a rottie. He may be a rott/bully...? but then again there is many mixes that look like other breeds. shoot a friend of mine has a 50% or 75% rott/pit mix, the dog looks like a PURE and well bred APBT! you'd never ever ever guess rott unless you knew the parents like he did.....The dog has a perfect pit bull build, short, not wide or overly stocky, short hair the whole works. sableish in color.
