How the hell did you do that!! Yes, that is the pic I wanted to show. Thank you, great guru of the webs!!
In reply to cwh:
Not to creep you out, but its amazing the amount you can dig up on people online.
Have you ever googled yourself? I google myself all the time. 
You creeped me out. Very few on here know my name. Not trying to hide it, no big deal, but you are scary. Red likes you, though.
I google me and all I find for dozens of pages is the congress man/men ( father & son) from Raleigh
N Sperlo, you do not want to Google me. Your computer will asplode.

He actually looks alot like rhodesian...(head and color) somone may bave been trying a lion dog/pit mix for fighting?
I wrote "Lab Mix" when I took mine to the vet. The lady took the paperwork, read it, then said "OK, let's take a look at your Pit there."
(turned out she had three herself. LOL)
CWH:
The link you tried to post has your full name in it if you quote it as a reply. Might want to edit that if you don't want your Power Word floating around these boards.

I agree. I see a lot of Rhodesian in him
I see some Rhodesian in the face, but the ears and legs are pit.
Of course, with the nebulous description of "pit bull" these days, who knows what genetic material is actually in any of them? 
Here's my pit. Moxie Soda Pop:
In that picture, he has his eyes wide open. Most of the time his eyes are more like Moxie Soda Pop. His behavior is still quite docile, but his health still has a way to go. Still has the diarrhea, but is eating very well. Only let him eat twice a day, but ALWAYS acts like he is starving. The boxer harasses the hell out of him, but no aggression shows on his part. Frankly, I would like to see a big furball between them, but that would end badly. Many thanks for all your concern, but Sperlo still scares me.
Dogs don't bother me but the iNtrAweBz is fruunky.
Take a look at the label of the dog food. If it has any garlic or fish products in it, that might be the case.
My wife's a vet nurse and sees a ton of bull-breeds with allergies to garlic and fish. Moxie was pretty liquid for our first couple weeks with her too until we got the fish oil and garlic out of her diet.
Try a digestive enzyme. I'm personally abhorrent of anything "purina" but they make a really good one that isn't too expensive. Its called Fortiflora. It comes in little packets and you just sprinkle it on his food.
by the way... my wife feeds only raw, so she has done more research on canine and feline digestive chemistry than anyone I know. If you have questions, send them my way and I'll have her answer for you.
You might also consider a fecal smear to look for parasites. They're not always visible the the eye.
Curtis- Fecal smear has been done. Only parasites found were hookworms, being treated for that. He had been roaming the streets for some time, so it will take a bit of time to get the crud out of his system. I think I will describe him as a lion dog/ pit mix. Sounds pleasantly scary. How in the world do you come up with a name like Moxie Soda Pop?!? Thanks, all.

Long story but I'll condense it.
Moxie's former owner was my wife's co-worker at the vet clinic. During the 3 years they worked together, the co-worker was officially diagnosed with Schizophrenia. She had named the dog Roxy, which is a street-name for Roxicet - to which the owner was mildly addicted.
After being diagnosed, the owner moved back home with her mother and gave the dog to a friend. The friend ended up turning Roxy out on the street and she turned up at a shelter. When they scanned for a chip they found the co-worker's contact info which was no longer valid, so they contacted the clinic that installed the chip. At this point my wife left work and drove down to bail her out. Lord knows, they kill pit bulls pretty quick at shelters.
Since my wife works with animals she also sees a few hundred "Roxies" a year. Seems like everyone names their Pits "Roxy" including our next-door neighbor who also has a Pit named Roxy.
We decided to change her name, but didn't want her to have to re-learn the name she answers to. Since I have family living in Maine (and since Moxie is a local soda sold up there) we decided on Moxie.
All of our pets have a full name and then the name they answer to.
Moxie Soda Pop (called Moxie)
Princess Mollywobbles (called Molly)
Ultra Violet Radiation (called Violet... also nicknamed Gorilla Pig because she looks like a mix of a gorilla and a pig)
Plymouth K. Car (called Plymouth... named for where I found him when he was 2 weeks old. He was in the back seat of of K-car in the junkyard)
And Gossamer Thistledown Oleander (called Gossy... she's a pile of E36 M3 that my wife decided to name after my favorite car... a GTO)
I almost forgot the other drug-named pet we had... Mary Jane, the 7-foot Red-tail Boa:
That's a beautiful snake, Curtis. We used to have a little Python living in our grape vine. Such cool critters.
Around here, we have pythons that could eat my dog.
