It's mostly harmful to the mislabeled dogs. I'm a volunteer so I help dogs get adopted and people come in and are like 'no, no pitbulls' and then I'm just like '...that's all we have ??'.
And I can't just be like 'yeah, they have this dog labeled as a pit bull but its really a husky'.

Also;

Sorry Xeno, break days don't exist for doggy diets.

At my shelter they don't even say mix, a lot of the bull breed mixes just say "Pit Bull" Unless it's very very obviously not a staffy/ambully, then they'll say pit bull mix.

This is one of the only 3 dogs labelled "pit bull". They try really hard not to put pit bull or pit bull mix on dogs, but when they do it's always on a dog who looks very obviously not pit bull. So even though they're trying, it's not a huge help.

I want a better quality camera so bad. This one all I can do is brighten the picture as much as I can. But, hey, at least I got Pete in a picture.

omg, honestly can't stand the labeling at one of the shelters in the city near me (where i used to reside).

there once was an australian cattle dog, CLEARLY an australian cattle dog, and it was labeled as a pit bull. smh.

Jasper's class tonight was crazy. The class is for dogs like Jasper who are reactive to other dogs. The class was going like normal, Jasper was actually acting pretty clam and listening to me so it was going well. Then all of a sudden a vet's dog from the clinic next door somehow escaped and ran into the class room and with my luck, right up to Jasper. It didn't help because we were backed into the corner of the room so there was no escape. Luckily Jasper had his muzzle on, he was growling, lunging and tried to bite the dog, me and my dad who was also next to me. I was so shaken up during the whole thing, the only reaction I had was to try to separate them best I could. I held onto the leash tight as I could and tried to block Jasper into the corner to keep him from scratching the other dog and my dad. Even writing this I'm still pretty shaken up. The trainers have been using that class for years and this is the first time this has ever happened. He did calm down pretty quickly though after the vet ran in and got his dog. The class ended early after that. The other 3 dogs in class were stressed out, of course the whole time Jasper was whining his head off which set off the other dogs who were barking and whining. I can't imagine what was going through Jasper's mind. Here he is in a large room with 3 other dogs that he can't see (there are tall barriers up between all of us and we were spread out into our own corners of the room) but can smell and hear them and a 4th dog out of no where runs into our corner and right up to him. I still just can't believe this happened :c

Hey, everyone. I currently own three dogs. Two that are being put down in the next few weeks, both sixteen years old. And a Six-year-old Labrador mix. My sister owns two dogs, one that I'm pretty sure I will be taking the two pass away and the other she wants to keep. They are an Akita/chow/lab mix and the other is a Boxer/APBT (True not bully breed) We are currently working on nutrition, my older ones are fed kibble and my sister feeds quality kibble. I'm currently attempting to transition my Labrador to raw food. (Raw meat, Beef, Pork, chicken etc.) Anyone have any experience with this. I have done my research pretty extensively but any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are the dogs. Don't have pictures of my older two. As you can see the pictures, info on dogs is further down.

First, we have Maddie May. She lives with me and is Six years old, birthday is November 26th. She is a rescue (sorta) we got her from a bad situation. My sister was unaware at the time how big she was gonna get and living in an apartment she could not have a large dog so we ended up taking her. She is sweet and loving, currently on kibble diet but is being transitioned to raw food due to suffering from allergies and some other health issues. She is almost fully trained, I can take her outside without a leash and she follows in a heel position. She knows how to sit, beg, lay down, stay and also knows speak, and jump.

Second, we have my other baby, Lucy, she lives with my sister but we assume we will be taking her when our other two pass away. She is a boxer, APBT. Is about 45 pounds and is an extremely active dog. Currently also on kibble but if we take her will be moved to raw food like my other one. She is about two years old, and I'm not sure on her birthdate. Was adopted from a local rescue. Very skinny dog although she is extremely fit. If I can I'll post a side photo of her when I find one. Lives jumping for a toy. She knows Sit, Stays, lay down and is working on loose leash walking, she will pull but is getting better.

Lastly, we have my sister's other dog, Skyler, who I also consider my baby (not as much as the other two). No, they don't live with me but I see them on a daily basis and I constantly am training them. Also on a kibble diet but I don't plan on moving her to raw. She is 17 weeks old and is an Akita, Chow Chow, Lab mix. Not a rescue was gotten from my brother in laws sister. She knows little to no commands, Is currently known as Wiggle butt and does not know how to walk on a leash does not know how to sit or anything.
But these are things I'm currently working on.

My other dogs I don't have pictures of, but they are a Terrier mix and a Begel basset hound. Both very loving but are 16 years old and suffer from many different ailments.

@Hazza

Does Lilly have min-pin in her by chance? I think you mentioned one time that Oppie has min-pin in him.
