Stranger, "What kind of dog is that?"
Me, "He's a Pit Bull type."
Stranger, "Really?" This is usually followed by any number of follow up statements which compel me to explain the American Bulldog/Boxer/mix and how Wisdom Panel doesn't actually screen for APBT but does screen for Staffie and Am Staff, etc. Ok my round about point being that I always considered Ray to obviously be a Pit Bull. Yet, we have neighbors who thought he was a dalmation and I guess I can see why.
It made me wonder if perhaps Wisdom panel meant that the "mixed" part of him was this?
Happy Moooo-nday!
People always ask if white dogs with black spots at adoptions are dalmamtian mix--I'm always like no way, I don't think people realize how uncommon that actually is. Lots of pit bull type dogs have black spots!
ReplyDeleteMe thinks you are a bit harsh on the 'little' fellow. I do have to ask though: How long can you tolerate him on your lap before he gets too heavy?
ReplyDeleteWith so many of his spots newly appearing, I was surprised that anyone would think we is dalmation.
ReplyDeleteMr H, at 75 pounds he is still mama's little baby. I'll take it as long as I can!
If I met Ray on the street I would definitely think he's a pit bull type dog and a darn cute one!
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad wisdom panel does not check for APBT, but I definitely want to do it for my pups one day just for fun. Whenever people ask me what they are I say probably pit mixes but who knows!
