This is the light of my life, Marcy Playground. I adopted her from my county's pound on October 7th. She's the sweetest thing, she goes everywhere with me and brings so much joy and happiness to my life. Shes a certified velcro lap dog!! I hope these pictures brighten your day ♡♡

Shes a pitbull yorkie mix, 4 months old.

Meet Remington (Remi)! 🐶❤️

We recently got his Embark DNA results back, and let’s just say they were NOT what we expected! 😂
Turns out, Remi carries two copies of the recessive long-hair gene, meaning he’s genetically a fluffy boy!

He’s still a puppy, so we’re curious to see how his coat develops as he gets older. Right now, he’s a goofy, stubborn, stick-obsessed little menace who spends half his time rolling down hills, inchworming across the floor, and finding creative ways to avoid walking. 😂

I’d love to see other fluffy pits, especially what they looked like as puppies versus adults!

Anyone else discover their dog’s fluffy genetics through Embark? 🐾

this is my sweet piggy, i’ve posted her here before but it’s been a while. the first pic is from the week i adopted her from my local shelter. all the pics after are pretty recent. she is literally my soul dog, its like we can read each others minds. anyways just wanted to share her beauty. her ear hair has grown so much in the three years i’ve had her, i don’t get her groomed or anything! it’s all natural 🤭

My boyfriend and I adopted Specter from our local humane society. He’s about 4 years old and the only info we know about him is that he was a stray.

After asking r/WhatBreedIsMyDog he’s most likely a Aussie Pit mix however we’re gonna do a DNA test soon to confirm. For now, enjoy these fluffy pit photos we’ve captured over this almost week we’ve had him!

Also, we’ve had to teach him most dog things (fetch, chew toys, sit, not peeing in the house, etc.) so I’m really curious as what his previous life looked like but so far he loves his bed, hugs, and surprisingly our cat (I know they should not have been introduced yet however, it happened that our cat got out and they’ve been inseparable but never unsupervised.) He is the biggest love bug!

Cello just returned from camping with daddy for a few days and he's exhausted😴😴

Not my dogs, but such EXQUISITE specimens! On insta- @kimgtheo_primcessrosie

NOTE

Approaching kennel, Tank came up slowly with low hanging tail and followed me out taking slowly steps to the outside runs.

10/13/2026 BEHAVIOR

NOTE

Tank was a Move Adopt this morning and was partially walked by another ACT until he refused to walk anymore with them. I

walked Tank back to his new kennel in South C on a semi-loose leash due to him walking slow and heistate about his

surroundings. Once in his kennel, Tank was pacing around in front of the kennel for a short time before laying down on their

cot and sleeping for most of the morning and afternoon.

10/11/2026 BEHAVIOR

NOTE

Dog was laying at the back of the kennel with a currled relaxed body. Easily leashed and walked with a loose leash to the

runs. Easily leashed and returned to kennel.

10/22/2026 BEHAVIOR

NOTE

Tank is very quiet and relaxed in kennel. Walks on a loose leash and is very treat motivated.

Hello! Someone suggested this page after I posted our dna results. Here’s our silly girl, Harper! She’s 4.5 months old, wicked smart and the most playful pup I’ve ever had. She has the best ears and muttonchops and her legs just keep growing!

Not sure if this is allowed - but this fluffy gentleman
pit has been at the shelter for almost 2 months and has a euthanasia date coming up. I just moved to the area and keep seeing his sweet face pop up on my socials. I know it’s a long shot but if anyone can help this boy break free…. Look at that goofy face! By all accounts he is friendly and well behaved. He is Vinnie (A574157) at Prince Georges County Animal Services.

This is Scottie aka Bean/ie, my 8 year old Am Staff Terrier mix. He also has chow and American bulldog in him according to his test results. We found him roaming the parking lot of my college apt when he was 6 months old. Been my shadow and best friend ever since ❤️

Hey! Been on a DNA journey with my boy Blue. We adopted him off a shelter in north California, he was labeled as a lab Husky mix. Fast forward 5 years later I got him DNA tested and boom! Fluffy pit malinois! I can’t stop laughing, an impostor! No husky at all. On my original pot at IDmydog lotsss of people guessed fluffy pit!

I received my embark results (last picture)! Sora has APBT as his strongest. His fur is super soft, very fluffy, and he has the spicy attitude to go along with all that fluff.

Got this little guy off a local rehoming site.. Was told he was an Australian Shepherd x Golden Retriever mix. He's the sweetest little boy! (DNA results on the last slide)

Was definitely a surprise!

My baby boy Rolo!

Got him about 5 months ago and I had thoughts of maybe having some pittie, but then I thought, nah ... But I was right! He's the best boy!

Our best guy passed unexpectedly this summer from a hemangiosarcoma. I always described him as a fluffy pit. I’m so glad to see others have fluffy pits too! Missing him so much; he was one of a kind.

Caber takes offense to early morning meetings that disturb his beauty sleep. He just turned 3 years old and is an aussie, pittie, poodle, and lab mix.

Obviously the lab is strong here but the pit comes in second and there’s no poodle or other scruffy breeds involved, so I guess he’s fluffy pit!

She is 10 months and we love her so much!
