Pit Bull people

The rescue she came from said she was a pit bull. I think the only reason they think that is because she is brindle. She looks nothing like a pit to me and my first guess was a lab/hound mix. I just wanted to see what others thought. Her fur feels very lab like and I think if she were colored differently people would think she is a lab mix but around here everyone who sees brindle thinks pit. What other breeds similiar in size to her can be brindle? I would love for her to be labled something else that can explain the brindling because then she will be much easier to find a home for. She is 43 lbs but is really thin right now. Her ribs, backbone, and hips are protruding. I think she will be about 50 lbs at a healthy weight. Thanks for any suggestions that might help her find a new home.
I definatly dont see any pitbull in her either. Her ears are huge( not to mention cute!) and shes very lanky and her snout is long too. But who knows, it could be mixed in there somewhere =) And as for the color, a lot of other breeds have brindle too.
It doesnt matter what the breed(s) Shes super adorable anyway

Here is my Mountain Cur for a comparison (the one with the docked tail). I certainly think it may be possible.

Meg gets the "pitbull" comment sometimes as well, since she is brindled and very well muscled. But her head is very non-pit to me. I can almost see a beagle-y look when her ears are forward. The Mountain curs, I believe, are mostly terrier and hound, so a pit/hound look makes sense. Do you know where the foster came from originally?

I am not sure where she is from originally but I know there are curs around because that is the breed her rescue started with. The rescue said that she doesn't resemble a cur at all but I have been looking up pictures and have found quite a few that she resembles and she does resemble Meg. Her movements seem more houndlike as well. She walks more slinky with her head lower. Whatever she is she is a sweet girl. One day inside and she hasn't had an accident since the first night. She listens pretty well and while she is pretty active she will sit almost immediatly when told so when she gets too jumpy we just tell her to sit. My biggest problem is my pit Tyson because even though he has never shown any dog aggression before he will try to rip her to pieces when she comes in the door. They are fine together outside and he will play with her there but if she comes in the house he has to be crated while we bring her in or he attacks her. I am hoping to find her a good home soon so Tyson can go back to being his sweet self.
