pitrescue.weebly.com/triton.htmlThis handsome fella is available for adoption through Sioux Empire Pit Rescue. He was shared around yesterday, and in the comments of the original post SEPR posted his dna results. He is 50% Boston Terrier and 50% AMSTaff I was surprised they did a DNA test. Attachments:

He looks all AmStaff to me. I wonder why they did the test? Handsome boy!

A Boston terrier should show a LOT of Amstaff (i.e. APBT) in its DNA since it was originally just a small regional variant, which later had some other breeds added. So it's not a surprise that Boston DNA would show up in an AST. I wouldn't hesitate to call this dog, at least based on the photos (which I hate to do) as likely to be a purebred AST/APBT

Mary or Emily did you ever dna test your dogs? Just curious to see what a known pure bred comes up to be.

An ADBA dog isn't isn't necessarily an AKC dog correct? If their dna was tested through wisdoms pure bred it would come back a mixed breed correct?

From what I remember Harley came back as an American Bulldog mix....no Amstaff.
Triton is very handsome!

Thanks....I am just confused why she didn't come back as a pit bull....hee hee!!! ....think it has to do with AmBull being in the database and not APBT. AmBull closer genetically to gamey-type APBT than AmStaff, mayhaps? Just guessing. |

I know I was just being snarky and sarcastic....no APBT in the database and with Harley being more of a gamey type APBT than AmStaff it made sense with the limitations of the database.

I remember Dave posting Sedonas dna results. They were whacked.
When I argue about dna results it helps to have "evidence" on your side.

I look forward to learning much here
