Mercedes is my 'rescued' girl.I at first thought she may be an american bull dog. She then weighed 54lbs at the vets office.Now I am not sure WHAT type of bully breed she is.(I am thinking a really small AB,or an APBT x AB)

What do you all think????



She looks so differantly built from Bella(My APBT)........



Laying down

she looks American bulldog to me

She looks mostly american bulldog to me too. She could have boxer or APBT in there as well. What a pretty girl.

She sure looks part AB to me. If she were a tad bigger and had a shorter snout I would say all AB, so I am guessing an AB mix with maybe some APBT or Am Staff.

Definatley looks American Bulldog to me.

Here's my AB at 1.5 years old and about 75lbs from the side


Here he is again with my APBT from the front


Now here they are cheek to cheek


Pretty sure if you mixed them you would end up with something a lot like Mercedes

Hmm, it looks like an AB, but dogs look different in person. Is Bella a pure bred APBT? or a pit bull mix? Sometimes if the dog isn't 100% pure, you can't really compare body type.

I read there are 2 'types' of ABs one with a more 'pit bull' face and one with more of a 'boxer' face. The face reminds me of an AB. But then again it reminds me a LOT of my Harleys face and everyone on here said he looks like an amstaff or bully... so who knows.. but shes ADORABLE! Her name fits her well too!

She definately looks part AB, but with rescues you just never know. She's a beauty, though!

She looks American Bulldog to me. American Bulldogs have a wide variety of looks. There are suppose to be 4 types, but even then, a lot of them look different. American Bulldogs @ Doggehouse: American Bulldog history

I fostered a American Bulldog for American Bulldog Rescue and she was only around 55lbs. She was purebred, but just small. She was the same height as my Amstaff and similar build.

The AB has differant 'styles' and i thought she looks more like a ''scott'' type AB. Her weight is 54lbs, weight range for female AB is 60lbs to 80lbs. So,she not THAT far off the 'norm',so she could be 'pure AB' but could still have been,or is in part APBT at that weight too.
Someone asked me is Bella was a pure APBT.Yes, she is. Both parents(according to the dogs caregivers) were papered,but they didn't want the pups to be so.Too much hassel and they did not want the pups being bred/faught.The guy who owned them had moved and left the parent dogs and pups with his grandparents,since he couldnt take them.The dam had a infection in her womb post delivery and died,they still had the father when I went to pick up Bella.So yes, purebred-no papers.

[VoriEremiagem]

She reminds me of Angel we had at the shelter. She was a purebred American Bulldog so she very may well be.

[ovH9wfSJ]

My guess is a Scott type American Bulldog.

[DevaRextusidis]

could very well be an american bulldog, but also an apbt or a mix.

here is an apbt that is adba registered. Female, looks exactly like your dog, but with black patches instead of brown.

[selayeffethy]

Its possible she's pure AB, but I just can't see it. Even a Johnson/Scott hybrid looks more typey than what I see in the pics. She could be of Painter lines. Painter lines are said to have had Pit Bull mixed in at some point (although this is denied by the founder) and are smaller and have longer snouts.

[Alex Photographer]

I see AB in her face too. She looks like a sweet dog.

[Gooracouppy]

the ears match nicely, the face expressions, the bone size ect, I definitely think AB.

I went looking through an old book of mine. Dave Puntanm's The Working American Bulldog. Published a lil over 10 years ago, but a great read if you can find it. I got mine used from barnes and noble's used and out of print section.

Anyways, on pg 126 I found a female named Snap who was out of Painter and Scott lines and she looked very much like your girl! It's a pic of a pic, so not that great.
