So what kind of pup do I have ?

[TTQ B4U]

In follow up to my intro post a few weeks ago, our new pup who is only about 9 weeks old, but growing fast. He's about 9-10lbs if not more now and maturing nicely.

 

He's supposedly a mix of Beagle and Bulldog aka BeaBull (unsure which kind of Bulldog). His sister is all black. HIs body is solid and I do see some bully something in him. He's not going to be tall, but he's solid. Thicker forearms and a muscular build. As you can see, all white with black "Patches" around his eyes and ears. HIs body has 15-20 black spots too, mainly on his back, legs and belly.

 

I know it's early and harder to tell, but I'm curious as to what everyone thinks he might be. We were considering DNA tests, but from some brief readings I've done, most are not conclusive or biased based on the breeds they use as a target base.

 

I've looked up a lot of puppies and from what I've seen, he appears to have some American Bull Dog or Bull Terrier in him. Body wise anyway.

 

Let me know. I'm curious as to what the experts on CR think.

 

Here are some basic snap shots from this weekend. I'll have to make time to get some good solid photos and profile shots here soon, but for now, I hope these help.

Your guess seems pretty close but it's always such a guessing game especially with puppies. Also, I'm not so sure you're giving the dna tests quite the credit some of them deserve.

I have no good input other then that is a cute puppy. Nice pics as well.

A cute one

 

I'll ask the dog whisperer (aka the fiance) when I get home, but I am pretty sure you are on the right track (Bully breed and Beagle, anything more specific is going to be hard to tell).
