I am considering adopting a puppy that my friends found. She's adorable and cuddly. I already have a shih-tzu and i want to find her a friend so this dog would be perfect except I need to know what she is! I will not adopt her if she appears to be a pitbull due to strict apartment/city rules and the safety of my dog. I understand that pitbulls are stereotyped the wrong way sometimes but its a risk i'm not willing to take. If she becomes more of a dane or a boxer i would be willing to take her. She is black and white. She is about 4 months old and 22 lbs. Her paws are pretty large. I have pictures that i can send if someone feels they can answer my question please e-mail me at lalbrigh@spt.com. otherwise, can someone tell me based on the weight and paws, etc. if this sounds like a pitbull? someone suggested a cross between a dane and a boston terrier. is that even possible?? thank you.

There's no way to know for sure. Many dogs look like pit mixes and aren't, many pit mixes don't look like pitbulls. Why would you guess part boston? Would you consider her if she was a Boston Mix? Did you know bostons were originally bred as fighting dogs as well....and originally were pitbull mixes? Just some food for thought.
