Hi and thanks for posting! It is hard to say if Spot is part Pitbull from the pictures alone. He certainly may be, but it would be good to know for sure by running a genetic test such as the Wisdom Panel. This can be purchased online and requires a saliva sample from your pet. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
