Be careful. if he does have some pitbull in him he may not like other dogs and be a problem the field. get him around other dogs in a controlled situation, perhaps with a toy and see how he reacts. Also, get relatively fresh pheasant or grouse or chukar wing , tie aa string on it, whirl it around over your head and land it about 5 feet from your dog and see if he points it.
