I had an interesting experience today while at petsmart. Where I live in Vegas the local animal shelters hold adoptions on the weekends where they'll bring a bunch of dogs and set up shop outside petsmart. Many of these dogs are pit bulls and pit bull mixes.

On each crate is a laminated card describing the dog, it's age, whether it's good with kids and other animals etc. I was looking at one particular male pit who was in his cage when a shelter worker came up to me and asked if I was looking for a dog. I told her no, although I love pits we already had one dog and my boyfriend and I just aren't at a place where we can do the whole crate and rotate thing for two dogs if they didn't get along. The woman proceeds to tell me it wouldn't be a problem, this pit bull was great with other dogs, as were most of the pits up for adoption today. She was telling me all the fine points about the dog, without mentioning any of the potential problems such as DA. From my readings on this site I know that DA can appear at any time, any age.

My question: Do you all think it was a little unethical that the shelter worker didn't thoroughly explain the potential challenges of owning a pit bull? Mind you this was a local shelter, not a pit bull rescue.

I understand they're trying to find good homes for dogs, I just feel like they need to be upfront and honest with people or else it could be a recipe for disaster, and I feel this way for all breeds not just pits. I'd be interested in hearing your opinions....
