Hey /an/, can you identify the breed of this doggo? Just took him from the shelter, they told me it's a cane corso/labrador hybrid, but it is registered as a pitbull. Sorry for the bad pics but it's all i have, don't want to bother him now that he's sleeping. I'm not that good with dog breeds so help is appreciated.

Shelters register 99% of their dogs pitbull mixes. By the look of the body and head shape, I'd say that dog has very little to no pit in him. Definitely has those lab ears and head though.
Muscular for a lab mix but body shape other than that strike me as lab.
>I have a full blooded lab

Thanks for the input, it actually was a vet that classified him as a pitbull, but the shelter guys (and almost all dog people i know) say that the vets in the area aren't really top shelf... Here's another pic

id plz

ID through looks alone is bullshit and utterly inaccurate. It was wrong for the vet to register it as a pit bull IMO since 1) it's obviously a mutt and 2) the shelter already ID the animal. Unless you gave consent, that was a pretty scummy thing to do.

Pitbull is a feature now because of laws. Look up the laws on what classifies pitbull, it's no longer just a breed. Boxers, for example, fall under the category 'pitbull'. The vet classified your dog as pit because it has pit features. Sucks but that's just how it is.
Next time you get a chance to vote, and if it ever comes up, vote on laws that put stricter punishments on the actual owners that let their dogs get in trouble.
I personally think that if a dog gets out and kills someone, the owner should be charged with involuntary manslaughter. If the dog bites and sends someone to the hospital, tag the owner with the bills and a couple years for indirect bodily harm (basically like saying you were responsible for this person being harmed, even though you didn't do it directly).
The dog is a simple animal whose actions are almost 90% controlled by the human who owns them. If you can't do basic training with a dog, then you shouldn't own one. And if your dog literally shows no signs of aggression and truly does just snap one day, well then you should have plenty of people to back that fact up.
If someone's on your land, or in your house, obviously the laws should be a bit different, but no less harsh if the dog kills someone unless it was very obvious said someone was trying to kill you or your family. But even then it's a slippery slope, because a killing bite should never be used. The dog should simply be able to attack and distract, never intentionally for for a killing bite like on the neck or face.

that's already the case, but the process requires pressing charges and filing civil suits or insurance claims.
>If someone's on your land, or in your house, obviously the laws should be a bit different,
it's actually harsher in that case since you have insurance that covers that exact situation.

CCs are VERY muscular, so that would explain it.

>registered as a pit
Seriously America...get your fucking shit together.
The vet is either a fucking moron or covering his own ass.

Sorry I meant, "could you identify the yellow dog in this picture please".

That just looks like a lab to me. It could have gotten brindle from almost anywhere, pit bull, great dane, boxer, or it might be like my lab/chessie mix and just have two coat colors for the under coat and top coat that lay differently. My dog has kind of the same coloring.
From those pictures, everything just looks lab to me, except the coat coloring. The tail, the body shape, and the head. Yeah, it's a muscular dog, but labs should be muscular. Too many people over feed their labs. Be careful of this, labs are greedy and will eat as much as you give them. His head is blocky, but that is a lab trait as well. Just shows more of an English strain of lab.
Enjoy the doggo.

Appears to be genus Canis, guessing lupus familiaris but need more pics to be sure

If it's a mutt just say its a fucking mutt. Otherwise tell me the breed.

It's a Lab mix, with a brindle coat color.
The Cane Corso breed comes in brindle, so their description sounds plausible.

Can someone please identify 1 thing about that dog that is indicative of any of the pit bull breeds? Maybe the generic tail? That's all I got.
>>2110661
I think smaller eyes; wider, squarer jaws could also be a trait. But it's hard to tell.
Sup, guys. This is my dog. The vet said it was a pit bull. I had to lock away all the cats and kids when I brought it home so it didn't instantly maul them to death because genetics.

If it's close to an area with BSL and the animal doesn't have a pedigree, there's a checklist for what is considered a pit bull that the vet may have had to go off of. And that dog does seem to meet the requirements of pitbull compared to most checklists
>>2110696
Okay, here's the thing ... "Pit bull" is not an actual breed. They can't scribble "Pit bull" on the breed line of the form. "Pit bull mix" makes even less sense. That's like putting "lap dog" or "toy dog mix" down for chihuahua. Why do they do that?
Dogs have identifiable breeds for a reason. I expect such idiocy from the mass media, but from an institution that specializes in handling these dogs, I expect better. We're not exactly talking about domestic short hair cats.
>>2110708
On the rabies certificate, which is where the breed is officially registered, there is a line that says 'predominant breed/type of dog', with a secondary breed/type of dog. No one, on a legal standpoint, gives a flying fuck about the second breed. Pit bull, while not a breed, is a type of dog like terrier, retriever, Shepherd, etc.
Now why vets would have to label a dog like OPs as a pit bull could be because of ordinance in or near the area. There is a checklist on what is considered a pit bull type dog, and a purebred lab does fit it. Most pit bull checklist have 8-12 pit bull characters and often you only need to hit around 5 to be considered a pit.
Is it retarded? Of course. There is no reason for it. But the general public is retarded. Hell even animal autists on 4chan can't tell you what a pit bull is. And that is why we have dogs like OPs lab now legally considered a pit bull.
Hard Mode.
Try to identify her.

"As all 22 points are of equal weight, a dog can qualify as an APBT Type without having any specific APBT features. "
APBTs and Staffies are never going to be accepted as long as every fucking shorthair dog on the planet that bites someone is called a pit bull. There are so many things wrong with this whole situation. It's like a dog's breed is judged by their behavior first, and then their appearance as an afterthought.

Vet made a big deal to put "lab mix" for my Chesapeake Bay Retriever / Labrador Retriever mix.
I live in Michigan, most people don't even know what a CBR is, they just think I have a curly chocolate lab.
Some places must have CBRs on the high insurance list or something.
