» Mawshy - I cant tell if she's a Pitbull Ridgeback cross....Anyone know?

When she was younger she looked like a Labrador...But now I think she looks like a Pitbull. But when she gets angry she gets a ginger ridge sticking up all along her back like a Rhodesian Ridgeback. And she has a very curly tail like a Shiba Inu or Akita. But I'm not sure if any other dog breeds have curly tails.

They should work.
So if anyone has an idea of what she is crossed with, I'd like to hear.
Thanks!

In these pictures I wasn't able to see some of the features and the stance that I wanted to see but I would like to suggest she may have Sharpei in her. Sharpeis have a curly tail and also the wide muzzle. Her body and legs also suggest Sharpei. Pitbull is a possibility and maybe Ridgeback but I don't really see Lab or any of the northern breeds you mentioned.

» Mawshy - She does look like a Shar-Pei cross

Yeah, she does look like she has Shar-Pei in her. I didnt notice that.
She's only a puppy right now(6 months old), and is 19inches tall and weighs about 16kg, But she doesnt seem to be growing, anyone think she'll get any bigger? Also, what about the ginger ridge she gets when she's angry? Does that mean she's crossed with Rhodesian Ridgeback?

» Mawshy - More pics

Here are some pics of her standing up.
Her tail is usually raised and curled, but in these it is dropped and curling slightly.

In the pictures of her standing, she looks a little bigger than a Sharpei so she's probably mixed with a larger breed. It's possible she could have Ridgeback in her. I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say she has a ginger ridge when she gets angry. Most dogs do bristle when they're angry but the Ridgeback ridge is visible all the time and looks more like a "cowlick" than the ridge dogs get when they bristle. It would be hard to predict how big she will get. To see if she's still growing, weigh her now and then again in about 2 weeks.

» Mawshy - Her ridge

She does have some wrinkles like a Shar-Pei's. My sister has two of her brothers and one of them has black spots on his tongue, do Shar-Pei's or any other breeds have that?
And the ridge she gets looks similar to this one, although it starts above her shoulders. I used this picture because it's hard to take a picture of the ridge she gets, it can dissapear quite quickly.

Also, she has two swirls on the top of her back legs, one on either side, her brothers also have this. Do you know which dog breeds have that?
I was looking at pictures of Rottweilers, and when their tales haven't been cropped, they're curly, like my dogs.
Think this picture of a German Shepherd cross Rottweiler looks like her?

And this Labrador cross Stafordshire Bull Terrier has her body build.

And this Boxer cross has her ears and a wide muzzle like hers.

In response to Her ridge posted by Mawshy:

I think Sharpeis can have black spots on their tongue but that doesn't really tell us much because lots of breeds can have black spots on the tongue. The ridge in the first link you posted looks like a Ridgeback but the ridge stays there and does not come and go with anger. I'm not quite sure what you mean by swirls on top of her back legs. It's so hard to speculate on her breeding because she could have any number of breeds in her which can create a totally different look.
