I think this is really important.....even the DNA tests we have now fail at properly identifying breed. Yet legislators claim they can ID just by looking at a dog? Since "breed" is such a loose concept anyway - and breeds are just dogs and dogs are just a sub-species of wolf, I wonder if there will every be a truly adequate way of defining breed based on genetics. It's silly, when we are just talking about members of the same species. In this instance, a Chihuahua is a Golden Retriever is an APBT. Just some stuff in my head this Sunday afternoon. Curious about others' thoughts.

Well, it would be kind of "fun" to test it, but the high courts (in Ohio and Colorado at least ) have ruled that local laws don't have to be fact-based in the case of dog bans. So I'm not sure it would make a difference if this test proved that every b/w pied dog that looks like a pit bull is really a border collie. It's all about appearance. And hysteria, of course.

I suppose it's a bit like how some insurance companies say, "or pit bull 'type' dogs". Ugh!

There is a town a few miles away from where I live and B.S.L. is active and a family had a pure bred chocolate labrador retriever that had papers and everything. The cops said it was to stocky and its hair was to short to be a Lab and they said the papers were fake, the dog got euthinized and the family got fined!!! Its been in the newspapers and on the news. Pathetic!
