Our new dog looks like a minature ridgeback. Is she some kind of mixed terrier? When she gets amped up her eyes spin like pinwheels and you better stand back.

I am not sure what she is, but she sure is a cutie!:mrgreen:

We think Fiona is a year and a half old. She is 18" high and weighs 40 lbs. We got her from the rescue place. She had been brought back twice by other owners. It was impossible to get her attention when she was first brought home. I imagine the other owners brought her back because they didn't want or have the time to work with her. Fiona is a great dog! She probably does have some pit bull terrier in her. She seems slimmer, more delicate and springy than a pit bull terrier though. Thanks for the comments.

Look up pit bull terriers, they are a different breed from staffys. She could deffinently be one of those.

I too see some Stafford Bull Terrior there. My son has a mix that looks alot like her. She's a real cutie!

That is what I meant. The Amemerican Pit Bull, is much smaller.

Here are a few pictures from different angles. Thanks for the thoughts from everyone.

Looks like a pitbull/Boxer mix to me. She is very pretty!

Thanks for the interesting suggestions everyone. I am glad this little dog found our home.

Thanks dumbogg. That is a good site. She has some of those characteristics. I was at the vets earlier today looking at the big dog chart and the Redbone hound caught my eye. She doesn't have that droopy look to her face though.

Your dog looks like a Staffy Mix or a APBT Mix......or a mix of both

How small do mixed pit bulls come? She is 18' high and weighs 40 lbs but I can carry her crooked in one arm.

Thanks Raggs. I am still trying to find a minature ridgeback site. The only problem is she doesn't have that prominant ridge. Perhaps it vanished because she is mixed with some type of terrier.

Thanks Raggs, we sent some photos to a ridgeback site. That link is a good site too. I appreciate the help.

I agree dumdog, there are alot of variables. Those are good comparisons. I believe we have a "mixed dog" dog. Time to take her to the beach.

In the ridgeback forum they seem to think she has alot of ridgeback in her. Maybe a minature ridgeback kind of mix.
