I want to know what breed my dog is. Im thinking a Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix with Pitbull?
My dog, Gracy, Looks like a rhodesian ridgeback mix. Because of her aggressive behavior to other dogs, Im thinking shes mixed with a pitbull. When she puts her ears back, she has the same face structure and eyes as a pitbull. She attacks any other dog that she sees and will not stop attacking until we force her to let go.

From your main pic, she looks at least part (if not complete) Rhodesian. Go to www.canineheritage.com
Hope this helps, and paw mail me if you need anything!
Lots of Licks,

Gracy looks like she's a complete Rhodie. I wouldn't assume she's part Pitt just because she's aggressive towards other dogs... Rhodies were bred in Africa to take down lions. So... sounds like she's got that natural hunting instinct.
It sounds like she's just got a lot of dominant aggressive energy, and needs to be socialized. Any dog can have a problem like that.

It does look like she could be part rhosesian. But it is hard to tell by the pics if she has a ridge of hair on the back that stands up. But the head and body size look lie a ridgeback at least part.

The ridge is, of course, a breed standard for Rhodesian Ridgebacks, but many are born without it.
And please, please -- don't blame her dog aggression on pit bulls. She is dog aggressive because no one has trained her NOT to be dog aggressive.
