To me, I think he looks exactly as advertised. He's really adorable! I didn't know terriers and shepherds could mix-- but it looks like it worked ok!

I dont see the pitt, I really dont. I can see a little BT in there. He's cute!

So with his aggression, his teeth are getting sharper and its hurting more. I have teeth marks in my arm today. As for his past I don't really know anything. All I know is this is the ad I got him from http://www.usedottawa.com/classified-ad/6660849

when we picked him up, she told us she got him from a place in Quebec and had, had him for two weeks.

I was sitting on the couch and out of nowhere he just snapped on me. Like snapped his teeth, and he pulls like my arm is something hes mad at. I was actually thinking he may have some mental problem like inbreeding. 70% of the time hes a sweetie, the other times he just wants to growl and bite.

He even played with a pitty outside who is twice his size and got into a fight with him and the pitty ended up backing off. We are really worried. He has NO fear. The more I say NO! The angryer he gets.
I contacted a trainer and it's 300 dollars for 6 lessons, and they are private. Do you think I should take them up on that? The only thing is, he is an angel infront of others, so I don't know if he would display this behaviour infront of the trainer.
I will try and video tape him when hes in this mood and I'll post it to show you.

here is a photo of my hand/arm from this mornings aggression

In my opinion, the ancestry of your pup is much less an issue than his need for bite inhibition and behavioral training.
He is a mixed breed dog, a mutt (rather cute one in the photos),

All dog breeds can mix, by the way, they really don't care whether the "breeds go together" when they remain intact and are allowed to have the opportunity to produce more puppies to appear on internet ads.
if you are serious about giving this guy a chance in your home, he needs a behaviorist/training right now.
if you have to wait on the private lessons for a week or two, you can start yourself...you need to be alpha, dogs do not chew on the alpha, or leader. This does not mean punishing harshly, either. you have to assume the leadership role in all that you do with him. Consistent positive reinforcement will help him learn what is acceptable behavior. Google "nothing in life is free" and "bite inhibition" you can start using this right now, consistency is paramount. Good luck, let us know how you are doing!

He's adorable. Get a trainer. 300 dollars for 6 private sessions is a steal. Do it.

This actually sounds like fear based aggression from your description. What you have here is behavior that he learned before you got him and needs to be corrected. You will have to train him out of this bad behavior or hire someone to do it or else someone is going to get hurt. It sounds like it is going to take some serious time and effort on your part but at this age I definitely think his behavior can be corrected and it will be worth it in the long run.

A couple of questions.....
Are you crate training?
Are you doing daily obedience training?

I just wanna give a little update.
I brought Louie twice to the park yesterday, apparently everyone meets at 5pm then again at 10pm, I plan on bringing Louie there often. All the owners were great and full of information. They said Louie will learn his place in the pack there. He really wouldnt leave my side as all the dogs played. One big golden retriever took a real liking to Louie and was very gentle with him. He got down to his level but Louie was still nervous around him, but Sam the golden wouldnt let up till eventually Louie played a little bit. Today Louie began biting me, I really showed him I am the boss, in a very stern voice I said stop, and stood up from the floor to be bigger than him. I pointed my finger to the crate and asked if he wanted to go in there. He immediatly stopped.Right now the crate door is open and he voluntarily went in there and is chewing on a bone. The door is still open and he can go in and out as he pleases.

I think you have a bt mix. His markings, ears and paws are consistent with a bt and the shape of his eyes are almond and full. It is good that you recognize that you may have a behavior problem-be pro-active about it and get some training. Do Not give up on him, it will take time & patience. Keep him socialized. If the $300 is steep for your budget-consider training through Pet Smart ($110 for 8 1 hour sessions). Do not expect miracles overnight - it will take a commitment from you.

I too think he looks like a Boston/Aussie mix. People are probably mistaking him for a pit mix b/c he's brindle. I think most people are used to Boston's being black and white. He's very cute! I just got a brindle Boston a couple of weeks ago.
