I've never owned a pit bull before. The dog we just adopted was listed as a pit bull mix. I have to admit I was guilty of telling my wife that we would never adopt a Pitt bull. This dog changed my mind!
Frankly, I don't trust the shelters identification. While I am confident their is some Pitt bull in the dog, I would like to get a better idea what kind of mix she is.
She is 6 months old and spayed. Loves my kids and plays with out other dog which is a smaller male dog.
She did bark at other dogs some when we first got her but some coins in a Pepsi can fixed that the first time we walked her!
Every once in a while she will spot someone she does not like and growl. Any thoughts.

Do you have pictures? Those would really help with ID.
Can you explain her growling behavior more closely? Who does she growl at? what are the people doing when she growls?

I will take some pictures tonight! A friend of my sons came over and was very timid and she started to bark at him. I used the Pepsi can with coins and then had him feed her a treat and all went well. I will take and post some photos tonight!

OK, here are some images of Cassidy. Any help in figuring out what breeds she may be would be very helpful. The animal shelter just had her as a pit mix

How big is she/how much does she weigh? Staffy Bull/Pit Bull and Jack Russel were the first breeds that came to mind. Can you post a pic of her standing up that shows her from the side? That would be helpful

She is 6 months old and pretty short. She weighs 25-30 pounds. HUGE paws

Hmm yeah she looks like she is all/mostly Pit Bull OR Staffordshire Bull Terrier to me.

I would definetly say at least 90% APBT or Staffie, if not a pure bred! Adorable dog!

I agree - mostly or all pit bull. At six months and that weight already, I would think she is going to be too large to be a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, plus they aren't nearly as common as pit bulls.
She's adorable!
