How to identify a purebred Pitbull puppy without knowing parents?

Yes I think he looks like a pit, at least 60-70% of him has the external features of a American pitbull. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

It is impossible to determine whether they are purebred at this age as puppies pretty much all look the same at this age. You should be able to tell by the time they are around 4 months old. There is also a possibility to do a DNA test to check whether they are purebred. This may have to be arranged through your veterinarian.

You can request a consult with an expert online at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to share a photo, and they may be able to help you identify the type of Pitbull Prince is, or you can take him into your vet and they could help you as well :-)

I think this may be a repetition of a previous question.. He looks similar to a shepherd dog, but it is difficult to determine that as he is very young. In 5-6 months would be easier to determine the 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!

Generally speaking they seem all healthy and yes, they are likely to be purebred. Unfortunately it is impossible to give you a 100% reliable answer about it. Feedback from our answers is very important for all the experts, so please mark the questions as useful/helpful.

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.
