In talking with handlers/breeders of the breed at the shows, they are NOT supposed to be HA at all. It's a combo of everything above with the dogs my friend cares for.. apparently this ladies line is know to be biters. Lovely that she continues breeding them, eh?

Eww, that's just awful! I was hoping it was just not liking strangers and not poor breeding. Wonder how long it will be before Ridgebacks get popular enough to start showing up on the BSL lists.

I went to an ADBA weight pull 2 summers ago and I would NOT recommend bringing your Bear. The way the one I went to was set up had the show ring in one building and the weight pull track in another. They asked that no one allow their dogs into the buildings because some dogs participating were DA and the presence of other dogs distracted them. All dogs participating were kept in crates until they were up.

I wanted to bring my dogs, but I am glad I did not. I saw a few people who wanted to go into the buildings to watch and couldn't unless someone was willing to keep their dogs for them.

Of course, some asshat with a dog tried to walk through the weight pull building while there was a pull in progress. The APBT that was pulling saw the dog, jumped off the track mid-pull, and tried to get to it. The asshat was loudly asked to take his dog back outside and the dog pulling got a do over.

Its not ADBA I think its APA or something, I emailed the people and they said he had to be kenneled once it started, but its going to be outside down the street from my house, not even a block, and in a church parking lot (they are huge spaces in AZ) so he wont be to far from me.
I might not even bring him because of his foot. I just want to see some dogs pull

Hell without paperwork and probably even with some they could fall under as a "bully" breed because most people dont know what they are or what they look like, especially the ridgeless!

Cool! Then you should have fun! Get a little red wagon (Radio Flyer FTW!!!) and just pull the crate along.

Yeah, we all know any dog that has short fur and muscles is a Pit Bull to the GP

Looks like a Ridgeback mix to me. The only thing that resembles a Pit would be her ears.

[Jerwittdergut]

hmm, I wouldve NEVER ever assumed there to be ANY Pit Bull mixed in that pup. just me tho.

[Repwailia]

Yeah, I see zero bull breed either.

[SpecialOFFER]

Could be a Ridgeback. Since the dog was found there is really no way to know for sure. If not Ridgeback, maybe bloodhound mix.

Does not appear to have any APBT in that dog.

I know 4 Ridgeback breeders in MI. One of the people who taught me to groom had a national champion, blah blah blah and I was able to see lots of what she bred. I really don't care for the breed much, other then they have nice looking bodies.
I would also say that the dog in question is a purebreed with a sloppy head or a Ridgey mix.
