Hiya. I have a pup and I'm not sure if she's a pitt or a mix breed...if she is a mix I think she's a Boxer/Shepherd or Mastiff mix. But I dont know...
Here's some pics of her at 6 months old.

She's 7 months old now, weighs about 48lbs and is 20 inches high and 37 inches long.
Thanks for any help guys. =]

Yes she is.

My best guess is that she is most likely a Labrador and German Shepherd mix. There may be something else there also. My decision is based upon personal experience with similar mixes, especially Lab/Husky. The ears on your dog show the intermediate ear conformation that occurs when you cross a lab with an upright eared dog. Purebred Labs have very little muscle in the ears, and they tend to hang. When crossbred with an upright eared dog like a shepherd or husky, you get an intermediate situation like she has, Also her body and tail are very lab like, not at all like a pit bull. So are the eyes.The darkened muzzle is very shepherd-like. I also see what may be the signs of a Brittany Spaniel or another similar dog in the white-tipped tail, white socks and white on the chest. I had a lab/brittany with almost the same markings.
Not a pit bull, or any similar breed like Staffordshire Terrier in my opinion. The skull is too narrow and elongated, and the jaw not massive enough.
I think you are better off with such a mix, rather than a pit bull. Not because they are bad dogs, but because of the bad reputation created by unscrupulous people who train them to fight, or as vicious guard dogs. Also mixed breeds often are healthier than purebreds because they have a better mix of genetic material with less chance of recessive factors becoming a problem.

There's deffinately german shepherd in the face.
I think the thickness of her body would have to include mastiff. Boxers have a deeper chest, but it could be boxer as well. I don't think there's any pit bull, they would be more slender, but she sure resembles it.
She's beautiful, I love the second last pic!
Edit: Actually Lab seems much more suitable for the body. Also, until she's full grown, it's difficult to say which breed traits she does have as all pups may mature at different rates.

She looks like a pit mix maybe with a mastiff.

I don't really see the Pit Bull in her, she looks to be a shepherd mixed (could be mixed with a mixed dog that has some pit. But I doubt it)
I like her though -looks like a keeper to me!!!!

After looking at the first picture I said "Definitely", but after looking at the rest of them, I think the first pic was a fluke... she looks much less PBT and much more Shepherd/Hound mix to me. Perhaps there is some pit in her, but I wouldn't say it predominates.

She doesn't look anything like a mastiff except maybe the coloring. She looks to be more shepard mix.

she could have some american bull in her, but i really think there is some other kind of mastiff or something because the "eyeliner" around her eyes, that comes from a different breed than pit.

She looks like she could have some pit in her, she also looks like there's some Dane possibly. Doesn't matter though, it's all in how you raise her. I think mutts are the best, she looks like she's going to be a big girl! Congrats! Cheri

She is not a purebred pit of any kind, she looks like a shepard mix to me. I really see no Pitbull in her.
