Your puppy is very cute! It is important to remember that visual identification is inaccurate 75% of the time. However if I had to guess, I think there is some pitbull terrier in your pup. It is likely that your pup is a mix of several different breeds. It is also possible that boxer or Boston terrier is present in the heritage. I recommend to speak with your veterinarian if genetic testing is available in your area. That is the most accurate way to know the heritage.

Your puppy is super cute! It is important to note that looks can be deceiving and breed identification based on looks alone has been proven to be inaccurate 75% of the time. Your dog is also a puppy so is not yet fully developed.
If I had to guess, your pup has a lot of spaniel in it’s back ground, American or English cocker spaniel and/or Cavalier King Charles. There are breed analysis test which can accurately determine the heredity of your puppy. I recommend Wisdom Panel. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

How can I accurately determine my mixed breed dog's heritage?

There is no way for us to tell breed from a photo unless the dog is purebred. If you really want to know I suggest you get a DNA test done. ( https://www.amazon.com/Dog-DNA-Canine-Breed-Identification/dp/B01ABMY8UO/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=dna+test+dog&qid=1560064052&s=gateway&sr=8-6 )

My puppy's breed: How can I accurately identify what kind of dog he is?

Well, whatever he is, it's pretty cute! His head is pretty square and indicates some Pit Bull component. Other than that, there are no characteristics similar to other dog breeds that I can see. Sometimes it is easier to guess when they are adults, since puppies are harder to guess at. There are also genetic panels (that are not completely accurate) that can be done to find out possible breed components.

What breeds are in my mixed-breed dog? How can I know for sure?

First you should know that breed identification by looks alone has been proven to be inaccurate 75% of the time. If I had to guess, I suspect a pit bull type breed and German Shepherd. However Boxer and maybe hound could also be present. If you want to know for sure, look at one of the breed tests such as Wisdom Panel. Beautiful dog!

How can I identify my dog's breed? Are dog DNA tests reliable?

It’s difficult to say for sure but it looks like he may be part rat terrier or jack Russell terrier or some other type of terrier with pointed ears. He is really cute! Unfortunately there is no way to know for sure. You can do a DNA test but it isn’t 100% accurate and I did it on my dog just for fun.

What breed is my puppy? Can you tell from pictures or DNA test?

As you mentioned, it’s a bit of a guessing game to determine the dogs breed based on pictures alone. However, Chappie, Candle, and Jimmy look most like Chihuahua mixes to me. There are DNA tests available, such as Wisdom panels, but nothing is 100% accurate. Regardless, they’re adorable!

How to identify my new dog's breed when adopting from abroad?

What a cutie!!!! This is strictly as guess as visual identification has been proven to be 75% inaccurate but if I had to guess, he looks like there is hound and possibly Cattle Dog. Its highly unlikely however that he is a 50/50 mix. I bet there are several breeds present within his ancestry! There are many canine genetic companies out there and some are better than others. You will need to check however that they have a canine genetic database from the country where he is coming from as genetic signatures do vary based upon location or origin. Congratulations on your new puppy! I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

How to tell if my puppy is a Pitbull mix? What's her actual breed?

Hi and thanks for posting! It is hard to say if Spot is part Pitbull from the pictures alone. He certainly may be, but it would be good to know for sure by running a genetic test such as the Wisdom Panel. This can be purchased online and requires a saliva sample from your pet. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
