Question

First of all hello. My name is Brad and I adopted Mickey from a shelter and I would like to know by pictures is He Pitbull? American Bulldog? Or possible Dogo Argentinian? Second we have had Him for around 2 months and he is acting strange. He keeps staring at us and Everytime we try to walk through the house he runs past us and then turns and sorta lunges and snaps at the same time. Could you please help me with my questions. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 75 lbs

He looks like a pit bull more than the others. He may be nervous or scared. Keep him on a leash and help and encourage him to come you before you walk off so he understands you are not after him. Reward him with treats when he does well. If his behavior continues, then you will need training in your home to further help him adjust.
