Yes he is a pedigree (supposedly).  He doesn't have papers, I have copies of the parents papers. 
He isn't a show dog and wasn't bought for that reason so as I said, it's not a massive deal but he doesn't look like a staffy with ears like that, he does look like a more intimidating dog like a pit bull or something. 
Also I paid a fair bit of money for him so I'd be very disappointed if the "breeder" wasn't truthful when selling him to me.  (although I wouldnt' change a thing in hindsight because he's my baby) 
Of course, it doesn't change how beautiful he is towards us, he's got a great character and nature and that's what I bought for.  But if it could be changed I would prefer to, that's all.
