Without registration papers from an honest, reputable breeder, you will never be able to tell for certain. I would also like to add that there is no such thing as a purebred "pitbull." The closest breed would be the American Pit Bull Terrier, which would have registration papers from the UKC or the ADBA.
if it is from the pound it is doubtful but maybe if it is from a puppy mill ( which i strongly disprove of buying from they mistreat there breading dogs and the litters) than they are most likely purebred and if from pet store it is most likely purebred and if a stray street dog you can never be certain if from a certified breeder than definitely yes pure all the way and if not you got scammed by the breeder. Hope this helps hope you find out soon.
Ok. A purebred must have a white chest, at least one white paw, some white on their head, and face. This is from one of their descendant's, the white terrier, which is extinct now. But, just because they have these required markings, does not mean that they are pure. These are just required to be pure. If they are a mix, they may have all of these things, if the pit, is the dominant gene. I can tell by glance if they are, or not. And, as puppies, they
are often confused with the Sharpe....Chuck.
You can tell if your American Pit Bull Terrier is a purebred if it has papers from a reputable kennel club or pedigree service. Otherwise, you'll have to look up the standard from www.ukc.org (as the American Pit Bull Terrier is not an AKC recognized breed) and compare and contrast your dog to it. You can also buy a DNA kit from wisdompanel.com, although it could be costly. You could also have a reputable breeder or your vet look your dog over. It doesn't really matter if your dog is a purebreed though, as long as it gives you love and makes you happy, that's all you need. :)
You can only know by reviewing your dogs pedigree. Even then, there can be misleading information unless you go to an honest, reputable breeder. Almost everyone now-a-days are breeding "pit-bulls" that are way out of breed standard and are not from good lines.
If his papers were available upon purchase, then obviously you'll know. However, if his papers were not provided he is likely a mix, or comes from a back yard breeder, and those lines aren't trusted to be clean. Many Pit bull lines have different bully breeds mixed in somewhere, so it is very hard to tell these days which 'pit bulls' are of true APBT lineage and which are mixed mutts. I suggest you ask the person that you got him from, if there is one.
Having a pedigree provided by a reputable breeder. Otherwise, it is just a best guess

Genetic testing.
Both the UKC and the ADBA register purebred American pit bull terriers and, yes, they're official.
no Yes and no is the correct answer, and the first answer is that it shouldn't matter!
Explain a Blue Healer and Pit Bull mix
No, the American Pit Bull Terrier is a pedigree breed of dog.
A dog can become a mixed breed when its parents are two different purebred breeds Ex.) Labrador + Poodle = Labradoodle
Your vet can.
The purebred german shepherd is stronger. because he is used by military and he is the most loyal breed of world he can kill a indian lion. one day a police purebred german shepherd save me from my pitbull. my pit bull wants to kill me. first he kill my mom and now he wants to kill me . but purebred german shepherd of police save my life.
When you live in a place where pit bull are banned, all pit bulls and mixed lines are banned completely.
If you use the correct categorization pit bull is a Staffordshire Terrier, an American Staffordshire Terrier, or an American Pit Bull Terrier. However, any dog with a bull-terrier type body is stated to be a pit bull, including any bull dog mixed with many of the terriers or molossers, or any mixed of those with most other breeds. For example, an American Bulldog/Great Dane mix would be generally considered to be a pit bull. If that dog was bred with a Labrador Retriever their litter pups would also be considered pit bulls.
There is no such thing as a "pure bred" pit bull as recognized by any reputable dog registry. Pit Bulls are a mixture of American Staffordshire Bull Terrier and other breeds.
No. The only way to know if a pit bull is pure bred is to have a pedigree from a reputable breeder.
