DOG LOVERS: What breed is my puppy?

I rescued this little guy a few weeks ago. He was abandoned in Detroit with about 10 other puppies. Only 6 survived, and he was the runt of the litter and far smaller. Apparently, they think his mother was part pit, I was not able to get the full story, or circumstances surrounding his initial rescue. He is now 7 weeks old, and still quite a little guy. He has extremely blue eyes, hence us naming him BLUE. He is extremely gentle, is already potty trained, crate trained, very good socializing/ being around other dogs, and listens when he is told NO! Overall an extremely smart, fast learning pup. However, like the title says, I don't really know what breed he is? To me it looks like there definitely has to be SOME bully in him, but he definitely looks like a mix/ mutt to me, and doesn't seem aggressive (like pit bulls "apparently" are). We have gotten everything from jack Russell, to beagle, Chihuahua, boxer, staffordshire terrier, etc. the list goes on and on. Here are some pictures of him from a few days ago, maybe you guys can help me out/ give opinions. He sure is a cute little guy though!

looks like he is mixed with pitbull. He's got a boxy head that they typically have. Very good looking dog you have there!
 
its going to be hard to tell for another couple weeks , im thinking its a full pitty thow judging by my experience with the breed ( ive got 2 that are both rescues ) , the blue eyes will go away soon so id start thinking of a new name lol , hes deffinatly small to be 7 weeks old

Haha, I feared the eyes would change, but it was also a combination of his infatuation of my Labatt Blue cans. (Don't worry, he has not even come close to a taste of it, lol). Also, on the size thing, I'm wondering how big he will be as an adult? Any idea from the pics alone?
 
Looks like he's going to be muscular with a strong head. I'm guessing he's going to be ~30-50lbs based on the size of his paws but I'm no expert. I know with some other breeds that just because they're the runt they always end up catching up and might even be the biggest in the end.

Bassetbull :) he rules!

Hopefully he doesnt have that beagle/hound bark. Its the worst. There is a beagle bulldog mix behind our house and his bark sounds like he is being fed into a wood chipper. :eek:
 
Looks a lot like my buddies dog when he was a puppy, def some type of pitbull mix. They are great dogs! Just stay on his ass and train him well when he's a puppy and you'll live an easier life when he's an adult.

BTW his puppy

That puppy is definitely at least half-"pit", but remember there is no such breed as "Pitbull". It's just kind of a generic term for "that kind of dog"
 
picts of the chic in the background. unless of course she's an underage girl (Hard to tell with the little you can see)
 
I think you can usually tell by the paws.

This @ 8 weeks:

pitbulls are a weird breed , and unless yo know his parents and all that theres no way to tell , my male is a tall and gumpy thats about 70 pounds and my female is about 55-60 pound and shes short and full of muscle , then a buddy of mine has a female thats giant and probably well over 75pounds full of muscle , theres realy no way to tell
