Any ideas...? Id Help.

Meet Bruce.
My other half and I rescued him around a year ago. The centre told us he was a Staffy Cross.
The thing is. The older he gets (just over a year now) the less staffy he seems to become.
Now I'm not concerned he is a pitpull or similar. He isn't heavy enough for a start, but he is so leggy I can't quite work out what the 'cross' bit might be.
So, any ideas?
(That's a double bed!)

He's a handsome chap!!! We have a Staffy cross from a rescue too, she was DNA tested before we rehomed her and identified as half Staff and half English Bull terrier, although she just looks like a generic, leggy Staffy cross of which there are thousands around these parts thanks to unscrupulous back garden breeders. Even then we were told that DNA testing for the breed lineage is largely hit and miss.
Here's mine, she looks a similar size to yours although a bit more of a lump at nearly 35Kg. You'd be hard pushed to see any EBT in her unless you knew exactly what you were looking for, (she has a spotty skin under her coat and is completely deaf, both of which are common traits in EBT's). My point being I think it's going to be hard to judge without knowing the parents, plus I think the Staffy genes are fairly dominant as any dog that has a Staff as a parent ends up with that typical massive head which hides most of the other breed's characteristics
