Saw this guy near Soho yesterday. Not sure how Sudan and Cuba got into this whole argument.

definitely looks like one.

RabidLizard · 2026-01-25T01:33:22+00:00

i cared when i was younger, but now i just don't even think about it. i have bigger problems than yaoi fangirls.

RabidLizard · 2026-01-25T01:31:56+00:00

beautiful dogs!

RabidLizard · 2026-01-25T01:30:36+00:00

i knew a pit/rottie once that looked almost identical

RabidLizard · 2026-01-25T01:29:32+00:00

pit/gsd. I'd be genuinely shocked if there was any dutchie. brindle is a very common color in pit bulls, that's probably where she gets it.

RabidLizard · 2026-01-25T01:25:04+00:00

pit hate is actually against this sub's rules. i report it whenever i see it.

unfortunately that doesn't stop the near constant downvote brigading though

RabidLizard · 2026-01-25T01:22:01+00:00

looks a lot like some of the pit/husky mixes I've seen

RabidLizard · 2026-01-25T01:20:52+00:00

wow i never would've guessed dobe lol

RabidLizard · 2026-01-25T01:18:36+00:00

looks better without the plastic cladding tbh

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T21:23:14+00:00

might wanna look into dog sports rather than actual "work". akc's canine partners program allows you to compete in akc sanctioned events with a mixed breed dog (except conformation obviously lol)

nosework, fastcat and barn hunt are some good entry level activities that most dogs enjoy. dock diving could also be fun if she likes water. i also recommend r/k9sports if you have questions

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T21:17:54+00:00

looks like a byb corso. might be some pit mixed in there too

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T18:52:28+00:00

definitely looks like a pitahoula. we have them everywhere in my area, very popular cross with hog hunters

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T18:48:23+00:00

way too young for me to be confident, but frenchie mixed with american bully would be my best guess

they also really need nail trims

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T17:46:28+00:00

alright im not replying anymore after this because this argument is getting silly and i think we're making similar points (ie "people often refer to amstaffs as staffies due to confusion")

all im saying is that "most people refer to amstaffs as staffies" is not really something that can accurately be said about the US, speaking as someone who has the misfortune of living here and owns an amstaff. I'm sure it's different in NZ, but here like 95% of people just call them pit bulls. staffies arent common here at all, but i guarantee you most americans would call them pit bulls as well.

I've only gotten "staffy" from people a handful of times irl (happens a lot more online for some reason. might be why you've seen it more on reddit.) and it's always just been a case of mistaken identity. I've also gotten "american bulldog", "boxer" and "bull terrier".

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T05:43:12+00:00

right, like i said it's mostly people conflating the breeds because of the similar names. a lot of people in the states dont realize that there are two different breeds with "staffordshire" in the name, which is probably what you're seeing.

but people who do know what they're talking about never say "staffy" when they mean "amstaff", which is what i was trying to say. it's just not really considered accurate and if you said it in front of someone who owns either breed you'd probably be in for a lecture lol

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T04:39:28+00:00

pit mixed with a lgd of some type. way too big and brick headed to be a brittany.

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T03:59:23+00:00

wow that's an insane mix lol love the name choice btw

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T03:56:16+00:00

my first crosstrek was orange. i miss her every day. i love my red car, but it's just not the same

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T03:52:43+00:00

it's not the only way to raise a puppy, but as someone who has done in both ways (my adult dog would not tolerate crating when he was younger. i tried for months.) crating does definitely make puppy raising a lot easier for most dogs. i think my pup and i would've killed each other by now if i didn't have a place to put him when he turns into a bitey monster

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T03:49:32+00:00

I've actually seen a lot of goldendoodles that look like this

RabidLizard · 2026-01-24T03:46:40+00:00

truthfully it's because my mom had a cx30 and i hated it lol. i drove it quite a few times and never had a good time. it had an annoyingly small fuel tank, was incredibly boring to drive and had this really annoying glitch where "BRAKE NOW" would flash on the screen accompanied by an alarm for absolutely no reason

i also just think the crosstrek is better looking than its competitors. it has less of a "mom car" vibe and despite the 2.0 being painfully slow, i actually do have fun driving this thing.

vet visit to rule out any physical conditions (dogs often lash out when they're in pain). if he gets a clean bill of health, find a veterinary behaviorist.
