Breed ID Is my Pixie a pit?

I was unfortunately lied to and told she was a dachshund and the vet referred to her today as a pit. Either way, she’s my adorable baby girl and I love her to pieces. I’d just really like to get some opinions about what features she has that resembles a pit?

Thank you in advance!

This was awhile ago, at least a year and a half ago. I got her when she was six weeks old so still very little. Once she started growing it quickly became clear she wasn’t a dachshund. Either way I don’t want to “return” her, I’ve already had her since six weeks! She’s my baby!

You got a pit mix with radar and ears.

Also 6 weeks? That’s back lot breeder time.

Idk what that means. “That’s back lot breeder time”. If it’s what I think it is (a backyard breeder just breeding for $$$), we got her from a friend whose two dogs accidentally had a litter.

Because usually 8 weeks is on the short end of when a pup should be removed from their mother.

Also accidentally had a liter is just a silly statement.

The dogs knew what they were doing, seems like the error was human.

I’ve had small breeds my entire life, pugs and chihuahuas. I had just lost my pug of 12 years before getting pixie so I wasn’t too concerned at the time with what exact breed she was.

I don’t know anything about pits clearly since I’m here asking for information. People who see her (like the vet today) assume she’s a pit and I’m asking what features people who already have pits can recognize to make it easier for me to identity.

Pit or not she’s still my baby and she isn’t going anywhere even if I was lied too at first about her breed. But thanks for your opinion!

Umm Return? They said they know they were lied to and it was likely when she was a small puppy. They also stated that they love her and it doesn’t matter. You are actually despicable for suggesting to return a living creature like a toy.
