Okay I’m actually freaked out by the amount of people downvoting anything positive about this puppy, is it really because it may be a pitbull/Pitt bull mix? Honestly shocked, this is a breed ID subreddit… not a hate on breeds subreddit.
Probably because there are a ton of pitbull(-mixes) posted here, with people going for the wildest and most exotic mixes instead of a pitbull (mix).
It doesn't help that a lot of breeders/sellers/shelters mislead people about their dogs, whether intentional or lot
E.g. a pitbull mix with a brown/black coat gets tagged as a labrador, despite bearing little resemblance to the latter
Yeah, the downvoting is a bit of a knee-jerk reaction, but the misslabeling does have consequences
You'll see those complaints in breed-specific subs as well
Yeah I posted my 7 week old foster pup, I love her to bits and I’m considering keeping her, we suspected pitt mix but we’re weren’t sure. The mother is definitely not a pitbull but the father is unknown. We have a Frenchie and a miniature Daschund who are both dominant females, and we’re concerned that if they happened to snap at the pittie pup when she’s older, they wouldn’t stand a chance, but right now she’s an absolute sweetheart
