Cool forum you guys got going here, very good info all round. :hail:
So I got this rescue dog when he was 3 months old, his name is Atlas. I friggin love him! Best dog I have ever owned. Being a rescue I'm sure he is mixed.. but with what???
I was leaning towards american pitbull and was satisfied with that. But yesterday at the dog park, this guy brought in a Dogo Argentina and it made me question what he is... He is very skinny and not super wide like the other pitts he plays with. But he is taller and longer than them. Also at approx 9-10 months he weighs 65 pounds and I suspect will top off at 85. Which would be to huge for a pitt. But this Dogo Argentine was a lot bigger than him, and the nose was pure black, where as mine was brown. But the spots on the side matched exactly which i have never seen a pitt do. And the body structure seemed right also, lean yet powerful, but not "bulky"... Another reason he might not be a Dogo is they sound really rare. I had not ever heard or seen one in my life until last night..
Anyways, it's a fun thing to try and guess what my mystery Atlas was bred with, I suspect there are a couple experts here who can help me out. Thanks in advance for the replies! If you need any different shots than what I put up, let me know.

A video from around Feb when he was 45 pounds.
YouTube - Josh, Atlas, And bubbles
and then of course for reference here is a Dogo...
And a white pitbull...
