No offense but I get so sick of the mentality of some of our members that "if its not registered and pure bred, its not a Pit Bull nor a 'Pit Bull mix' but only a 'mutt'."

Thats so silly. How can we encourage people to know their breed in order to learn breed traits and then turn around and say "you cant put breed traits to him because he's just a mutt and nothing more."

If it's mixed with an APBT then its a Pit Bull mix! And its important to KNOW that it's a Pit Bull mix so that you can be prepared for things like DA or high energy or high prey drive.

Exactly. There are dogs all over the place in rescues that clearly resemble bull - and -terrier breeds or bull breeds. Owners should be prepared for common breed traits, just like they should be prepared for the common traits if they were to adopt any other dog that closely resembled a different group/breed of dogs.

For example, we have a mutt that we rescued. She is CLEARLY part cattle dog. And guess what? She heels like a freakin' cattle dog - the other dog, people and I would bet money she'd do it on livestock if given the chance.
