I pretty much agree with the imperfection.I've worked many years as a rescuer and many more in a vet clinic. I've met many breeders of all types.There is always the SMALL possibility that it's purebred (even though it was found) .We've had an instance of a client who was traveling with her dog and the dog ended up getting freaked out and away from her.By the time she was found about a week later she'd already had the pups.Animal control was called out to remove this "stray "dog with a bunch of puppies from an old shed behind an empty resident,just 3 blocks from the clinic. The eyes or the thickened muzzle doesn't mean it's mixed.That would imply one parent was a perfect example of the breed and the other at least a decent exampl to through the characteristics. It may have just as easily been a bad example of the breed.Poor breeding/genetics.
On the next note...it's a PROBABILITY that it's a cross (doesn't mean a pit bull cross. Many breeds have bullish characteristics.And I've seen some beautiful labs with excellent lines throw off thick bodied dogs) because MOST of your 'purebred' dogs nowadays are bred for 1 thing.Money.For this reason most of these people are gonna keep a close hand on these dogs and not let them outta sight.A lost puppy is lost money.Especially one who looks as nice as that one. Not too many "non-dog people" know the difference in the registries.IE: AKC,UKC,ADBA,CKC,NAPBDR,SDR and so on. AKC,UKC,and ADBA are more legit clubs.The parents of the dogs have to be registered with them (or traceable back 3-6 generations) The rest are backyard breeder clubs.CKC= I can steal your beagle or get one from the pound and register it as a purebred dog.All I need is to fill out their paperwork and send them 3 pictures of a beagle and viola! in a few weeks my dog and her puppies are now "registered" and for sale....hence your bad examples of breeding....AND hence your designer dogs.Labradoodles,Yorkie Poos,Chi Poms,Malti Poos....and so on.
LOTS of people are not good judges of dogs.They see a dog of a specific color and assume it's another breed. I had a blue fawn pup that I brought in to have his ears cropped.This one lady in there was petting and loving up on him telling him how sweet and cute he was. She says I love Weimariners,they are so beautiful and their color is gorgeous.And she compliments me on him and his ground manners. Then I decided to let her know he was a pitbull and you would have thought I just told her I gave her the plague.She got up and moved and started complaining about the horrible man eaters.
Just to let you know,I am not knocking anyone,just pointing things out.I ... love the pup he is adorable!!!
