This link seems to be the most helpful.
It looks like they do have short looking legs and big paws at a young age.

I have email the rescue group that has him for more info on him, like his weight and how high he currently stands from the ground.
The problem is I have to drive 150 miles just to look at him (or adopt him). I would rather be 80% sure that he is full blooded before I drive that far. I will not be able to pick him up until after April 13th.
Also I am not sure if they will let me have him as they are still going over my adoption app, but the lady said she sees no problems with it so far.
