IS THAT DOG EVEN A PIT BULL?

Thanks to several studies conducted over the last few decades, we have seen that visual breed identification is consistently unreliable and innacurate.

Consider:

​

That "pit bull" in the news that was involved in a bite incident? How did they identify that this dog was in fact a pit bull type dog?

​

That dog that came in as a stray to the shelter? Did that dog also bring in their DNA records?

​

The shelter staff that is tasked with identifying dog breeds? Often have little to no formal training on this. Even vets and other dog professionals often get this wrong.
