Here's a link to the album that will work: http://www.picturetrail.com/texmex83

Looking at all the pics, I'd say she's probably mostly APBT, but not purebred. Her tail has longer fur than most purebred APBTs, and in some of her pics, her skin looks looks thicker, most APBTs have fairly thin skin. How tall is she and what's her weight? Again, that's JMO, but I'd guess she's an APBT mix. Is the cropped dog yours also?

Well she about 21-22" from front paw to shoulder and weighs about 45-55lbs. I know that her coat is alittle long but there are pits who have long coat, its just considereda dq under UKC breed standards"The coat is glossy and smooth, close, and moderately stiff to the touch.
Faults: Curly, wavy, or sparse coat.
Disqualification: Long coat."
and yeah the cropped dog is also mine shes about 5 months old.

She may be a purebred APBT, or she may not. Unless you have papers on her, or were there to watch the breedings for the past 10 generations or so, and make sure all were APBTs, you'll never know for sure. I'm curious as to why you're asking, when you seem ready to argue with anyone who believes she isn't a purebred APBT?

Sorry that it came out that I was wanting to argue goob. I really didnt mean for it to come out that way. I just wanted a dog that was a pitty, I've always had a love for the breed,and I finally got one that is sutable.But all of a sudden things hit me all at once that she may or may no be fully a APBT.

She looks a bit taller than a pure pitbull and her ears look a bit long but she is a beautiful looking dog. Does it matter if she is not pure? My dog is pitbull/boxer mix with possibly kelpie as she is smaller than both a pitbull and boxer. My other dog has stocky, musclely legs, more like a staffordshire than a pitbull but his nose is longer than a staffy and he is taller as well.

I honestly didn't mean what I said as offensive, but was just curious by how much you seemed to want her to be a purebred APBT. She's most definitely at least part APBT, and if you're happy with her, then you've obviously got a winner, no matter whether she's purebred or not
