I know her mom was blue...assuming the dad was red nose..any thoughts on this..i think she's pure,the rest or her litter looked pretty pure to me.
they had a couple of dark brindles btw.

btw not sure if she was a doctor..i saw her at petsmart with the banfield scrubs on

[Michaelnewerb]

Her color is absolutely, 100%, incredibly, drop-dead, freaking GORGEOUS!!

Considering that the parents were "red nose" and "blue", she's probably not pure...unless you wanted pure ambully. But whatever, you have a really beautiful dog

[LoloLibia]

Unless you have papers, you'll never know.

[LoveTTatall]

thx! thats exactly what i thought.the red and blue mix..even if she had a little extra in her i wouldnt be upset..but yea...the papers..still "waiting" on those. havent really bothered the woman about them lately. I've had her for about two months now,got her at 4 weeks

hold on,a little confusion..I meant pure by being mixed outside of a pit,i guess she meant the red blue nose thing

[q9h9pPne]

thats an awesome color!

[Krruqgwt]

Ambullies are a new breed, there have been other breeds mixed into them, so you never know what you have. You are more than likely never going to get the papers but let me say this, that color is GORGEOUS!

Why in the world did you get the pup at 4 weeks? That is illegal and I would let that BYB know that for sure.

[dubballey]

Very pretty coat color! Her coat almost looks like a hyenas coat. If the mom was blue she was probably an Ambully and a red nose just means the dogs nose is red. What do you mean by pure? She is probably a mix of Ambully, Amstaff and/or APBT.

If the breeder gave her to you at 4 weeks then she is a horrible irresponsible breeder and is a byb(back yard breeder). If she's not keeping the pups with the mom at that young of an age, she either has no idea what she's doing or she just doesn't care and wants the money. Pups need to be with their mother and siblings for at least 8 weeks. They need the socialization and to be correctly weaned from the mothers milk.

I would push the lady very hard to get you your pups papers because she seems like a money hungry byb that could care less about the pups she breeds. Based on what you've said about the breeder she may have been lying to you about getting you papers.

All that being said your pup is beautiful and you're lucky to have got such a good looking girl.

is that merle is just an insane amount of brindle?

[Fosavoa]

It looks like a brindled merle. I have one that looks just like that. Sent off for a DNA test on my girl to confirm it & the results came back that she was genotypically merle & phenotypically brindle.

[yharmon6614]

Sounds like the Doc was saying not a "Pure" APBT because he/she thought the dogs coloring pattern was merle ....which is not an accepted APBT color ......usually a merle coat means crossing with another breed....like catahoula

[Fosavoa]

EDIT: Here are some pics of my brindled merle. I have been photo documenting her since her birth b/c while I have heard of cryptic merles like this, I have never gotten one in one of my own breedings. Here she is. Note the OP's pup & my pup have many of the same markings (spots on the back of the neck, etc.)

Newborn Sasha. Note the merling on her face/muzzle:




Sasha 3 weeks. Notice while her body is brindled she has merling on the back of her neck as well:



Merling still on the face:



Sasha at 8 weeks, merling on back of

And her face. She still has the small flecks of merling on the right side of her face, but note the large patch of merling on the left side of her face. It *looks* like a black mask, but it is not. If it were a mask it would be on BOTH sides of her face! Also note the spot of merling on her far left toe & on the inside of her right leg:



Sasha at 6 mos showing she's still got merling on her face:




And the back of her neck:



And pugsmom you are 100% incorrect. Merle has been an accepted color from the inception of both the UKC & ADBA. Only recently was it made a DQ in the UKC & a fault in the ADBA. Despite this merle is still an accepted color in the APBT in most kennel clubs. In fact, my red merle male is currently working toward his conformation CH. & in his first show placed twice under one of the most prestigious judges in the pit bull world!

Blessings ...

Sasha is really pretty! She looks like a cute lil tiger cub in the pic at 3 weeks.

[Fosavoa]

Awwwww! Thank you! You just added an element of cute I won't forget when I look at her baby pictures! Now every time I look at them I will think of her as a cute, fuzzy tiger cub. lol. And ironically, her grandfather's name is Tiger!

To get her name I just combined the two parts of her registered name - Striped Pasha = Sasha. lol. I know, I'm unimaginitive!

Blessings ...

EDIT: I forgot to add - just like any APBT, the OP's pup could be pure or it may not be. It does not depend on the color, but rather who you bought her from & how reputable they are.

[LoveTTatall]

wow thx so much guys,i googled the catahoula and i did see a young pup that looked similiar to her when her wasa pup.
also thx for the pics and explanations ABK ...all were very helpful

i dont think ill bother the breeder...im very happy with her. i got her for companionship ,not like to breed or wutnot...she's growing beautifully

[Gymnarnemia]

She's stunning!! Don't worry what anyone else says, let it go in one ear and right out the other.

Outside of the american pit bull terrier? Outside of that you've probably got some american staffordshire terrier and I'll place my money that they've added lines that are heavily influenced by american bulldog or english bulldog.

[lopaayd]

There is no way to know for sure unless you have proper documentation. To me she doesn't look pure, the ear set is all wrong. However sometimes pups do grow in strange ways.

Like some others said on here I would suspect an american bully. Good luck with the pup!

[Fosavoa]

Zion: I would at least report the breeder to the kennel club. Here's why:

1: It is against most kennel club rules to place a pup younger than 6 weeks. Furthermore it is usually against state law as well!

2: There IS a much peddled merle line out there that is reported to be of questionable heritage & if she is breeding these dogs it benefits no one. In fact it hurts those who DO have purebred merle APBTs or who want purebred dogs. That line needs to die, not be bred.

3: She might not be experienced enough (or ethical enough) to be working with merle dogs. For example I'm willing to bet she listed your pup as a brindle when it is very likely it may not be.

No one wants a "breeder" like that in business. & ignoring her allows her to peddle on & take advantage of people like she did you. As the old saying goes "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing."

Rogue Bullies: I do not judge a dog's purity on ear set. APBTs can have all kinds of ear sets. Gr.CH. Midnight Cowboy had drop ears that looked like a Lab's & CH. Bronco had prick ears so big they looked like they belonged on a German Shepherd! I've also seen button ears, half prick ears & one of my own dogs - a Lonzo bred dog - has one rose ear & one prick ear!

Blessings ...

[sbrscnds]

She looks like some kind of jungle cat!lol do you have any pics?

[Sierabiera]

sasha is bad ass
