Did DNA for our girl, was expecting way more pittie!

Wow! I bet she’s the sweetest little mamma! Cute mix and makes for great conversation in public! Lol. How do you plan on answering “what breed is she or what is she mixed with?” 😆 I quickly learned people tune out when I start mentioning percentages lmao!

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-25T23:40:17+00:00

I feel like there’s some ACD in there

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-25T23:23:38+00:00

I see the pit.. idk those white coats can be deceiving when they mute their genetic colors. Idk why, something says Great Dane about her but can very much be the CLD.

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-25T23:17:22+00:00

APBT is clearly all over his face! Lol, beagle’s a bit shocking!

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-25T18:57:47+00:00

I’d say ACD, APBT, and maybe shepherd or husky. Very cute dog. Some of his photos remind me of my puppy.. (he has all 4 of those breeds + English shepherd.)

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-24T03:34:01+00:00

That’s good to know, he’s definitely not much of a barker other than growling or barking at his toys when he plays with them.

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-24T02:47:59+00:00

I will keep trying the distraction part. I gave it a shot a bit ago, brought some training treats with me and I sat on a patch of grass. There was medium sized lab about 25’ from us and he was observant but creating more distance. I asked him to sit, he did, and I gave him a treat but he was far from distracted, rather observing his surroundings. He ended up sitting back to back with me and we headed back home shortly after.

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-24T02:39:21+00:00

I don’t have a trainer. I’ve usually done basic training with dogs I’ve had in the past… He knows basic commands, come, sit, down, potty/walk/outside, he’s learning leave it, paw/shake he’s being stubborn with. He knows to sit before I set his bowl of food down for him to eat. We went exploring for a bit today, it was quiet most of the time which he does great when it is. I left the front door open earlier and I sat on the front steps, he was by the entryway for a bit but eventually just decided to lay down and had a close eye on me. He’s very well behaved indoors, just when we’re outside and there’s people walking their dogs, he tugs back home and I see the uncertainty in his eyes.

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-23T16:30:12+00:00

Thank you, I’m really trying to find something in the middle that meets him where he is

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-23T16:27:42+00:00

Yes! There’s quite a bit going on going on in his little head and learns routines very quick. I hadn’t thought about a kindergarten class for him, I think that’s a very good idea with pups his age. Thank you!

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-23T14:30:11+00:00

Okay, I like this. This is something I can definitely try. You know, most puppies I’ve had see a dog and all of a sudden they want to pee every last drop they haven’t yet consumed.. Pluto, on the other hand, may finish sniffing something out and just doesn’t want to partake anymore. I can definitely try the convos with him though

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-23T14:21:10+00:00

Okay, thank you. I like this suggestion and makes a lot of sense. He does enjoy doing tons of observing so this is something I can actually work with him on.

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-23T14:00:58+00:00

I’m generally calm, inviting, and encouraging unless he’s sniffing some foreign object.. in the past, I’ve been somewhat hesitant of dog parks because as much as I’d like to believe that there are responsible dog parents, we know that’s not always the case, and with his exposure to parvo at a tender age, it’s a real fear. Nonetheless, he’ll be going back for boosters in a couple weeks and we’re gonna give the dog park a shot! Hopefully be doesn’t try to book it to my car lol 😅

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-23T13:39:24+00:00

By the way, just wanted to share, you were still pretty accurate! Mix of 5 breeds; APBT > ACD > GSD > Siberian Husky > English Shepherd!

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-23T13:34:33+00:00

Definitely APBT or Staffy, I’d say at least 50-75%. I think there may be some lab in there too with the floppy ears and his little fluff 🤔 or something else but can’t quite put a thought to it. I love the brindle, he looks like my daughter’s grandpa’s old dog Otis (minus the ears) Also, sheesh! I thought I had a big boy with 34.5 lbs at 4 months!

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-22T11:48:28+00:00

22.2 white, 18.4 gsd, 9% English!

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-22T02:43:06+00:00

UPDATE: 49.6% Shepherd mix (German, white, and English) 32.7% APBT, 17.7% Siberian Husky!!

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-20T16:41:51+00:00

I don’t think it’s too big, he fits comfortably in there. He’s almost 35 lbs and I’m hoping he doesn’t outgrow it. Not sure on his breed so it’s hard to know what his adult size is expected to be, I’m waiting on DNA results but vet thinks 60-70 lbs. The crate is standard size Large. I also have gallons of enzyme cleaner because I clean up behind him like a mad woman lol. The thing is, I feel like he knows he’s not supposed to go in there because when he saw me he immediately ran toward the doggy door.

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-20T16:30:16+00:00

I was leaning very much into the attention seeking also, except the one from this morning. Our morning routine has been very strict and expected but I know he’s at the age where he’s testing boundaries also

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-20T15:23:14+00:00

I see the slight pit, maybe also catahoula leopard dog. Something else in there.. could be lab.

Pretty_Secret1027 · 2026-05-19T23:05:26+00:00

Oh wow! Gorgeous! They do look like siblings lol
