It's a pitbull mix. Well...a red nose pit mix. I'm not sure what it's mixed with but it looks like it could be a Golden Lab. It's not a pure pitbull, though. The hair is a little too long and you can tell by looking at the chest that it's more narrow than a full pit would be. (Pit's are my favorite dogs and I used to own them for about 15 years.)

Red nose pits are notorious for "gameness"...aggression towards other animals...mostly dogs, cats and farm animals. With a stray pit (even mixed breed) you never know the history of the dog which can really affect it's temperament. If the dog was put in a position where it felt like it was guarding something it could bite people other than it's owner at some point. Pitbulls are one of the smartest, most loyal and best breeds out there. Despite what you hear...they are people dogs and very playful and active. You just have to be very responsible if you're going to own one because if you aren't they can be prone to getting into trouble. If they get a little taste of trouble it only gets worse. My kids had two pitbulls that their father had for them about 6 years ago. Their father was irresponsible and they kept getting lose. They killed a neighbor's bull. They were such good dogs, too. Great with the kids and never bit anyone or anything before. Do research about handling a pitbull and take it seriously. If you aren't willing to be a good owner for the dog please try to find an experienced person to take her...and make sure it's not someone who fights dogs.

Looks like a pit / lab mix, and it looks more lab than pit.

I agree with Wyldfire. Careful until you know its temperment, and then still be careful. We had a pit mix I found on the side of the freeway (which became his name). He was great with the family. Hell my son used to ride him like a horse. Then one day he got into a fight with my corgi over some table scraps and he went fvcking ballistic. We decided to give him another chance, and the second time around my wife, son and the corgi all got injured. I heard screaming, ran into the room, and saw blood everywhere. I went totally kung fu on it, and finally got it to submit. Kicks that I've knocked sparring partners out with barely had any effect on it. Pitbulls (even mixes) are bad mofos, and I was scared sh1tless. The next day it had to be put down, and it was a sad day. Since then we only take in puppies from breeders we trust.

Be careful!

Thanks for the help guys. I will take good care of her. She seems to be very shy and quiet. I guess it could take a few weeks before she gets used to me. When I first brought her home my brothers dog, which is also a pitbull mix tried to attack her. Don't worry I intervened before it got nasty. Here is a picture of my brothers very aggressive black pitmix and another dog (I think its a german shepherd mix) playing outside. One last thing, can you tell me the approximate age of the brown dog? Thanks.

You really shouldn't have her around other dogs before getting a good feel for her temperament. You need a break stick. Look it up online and get yourself one. If you can afford obedience classes do it.

If it had of been full pit you wouldn't have been able to do what you did to get the dog to stop. You can get a pit off something only two ways without killing it. A hose with running water in it's mouth will do the trick or a break stick. Otherwise you have to use a gun or knife to kill it. They're great dogs...but you really need to know how to handle them.

Does anybody else treat their animals like a human? Or at least like a highly intelligent being?

I consider dogs to be perma children that learn very quickly... their brains are more hardwired towards instinct. Dogs can be raised continuously in that direction, adding to the previous training, and generally adding to the mix.

Don't submit your dog to anything traumatic, just like a child this could FUCK them up later in life and without proper training and knowing what their EXACT reaction was to the trauma they may be scarred for life and will react dangerously to situations if the trauma is great enough... sometimes it just gives them a run and hide response like being traumatized by a vehicle, that is one that has to be taught early;)

Do you get what I'm saying? Dogs have the same brain structure as humans as they are still mammals. They have crude memory banks compared to us, and have next to none of the usual stimulators our minds give us to modulate our activities. They are NLP free:p

I think she's starting to come around. I haven't decided what to name her yet, but I think I'll call her either Bo or Daisy.

kind of off topic, but why is it that some dogs can't breed with other dogs?

Saint bernard VS Chihuahua

If A male Saint Bernard ever tries to fvck a female Chihuahua she will die.

A male Chihuahua cannot fvck a female Saint Bernard because its too small to jump on her doggy style and hump her and I doubt she will allow such a wussy dog to even come close to her lol

Mostley size is the problem but I once heard someone crossed a bulldog with a shiatsu and they called it "BULLSH1T"!

I had a toy poodle Rottweiler mix and the mother was the toy poodle. Had all the markings of a Rottweiler with longer hair and was the size of a toy poodle...but with the build of a Rottweiler...just miniature. Funniest thing to look at...
