holy shit, do you work in the circus from the amount of mental gymnastics you are doing right now?
He's got a point though. If a dog even remotely looks similar to a pitbull, they'll say it's a pitbull. Pitbulls have repeatedly been blamed for attacks by mastiffs, bulldogs, etc for years.
People repeatedly ask if my Corso is a Pit Bull. Despite being two to three times the size of one at 125 lbs and being a mastiff, and if that doesn't tip them off that she's not a Pit Bull her tail is docked at the 4th vertebrae per breed standard. Oh I often meet people that wonder if she's a Bull Mastiff too, um Bull Mastiffs don't have their ears cropped or tails docked.
i've never liked docking the tail or cropping the ears. though funny thing. my mom had a dog that had its tail docked, and it mated with another dog with a full size tail. and the pup came out with a nub despite both its parents by nature having longer tails than that.
My friends cat had kittens 2 months ago. Mother is a himalayian-x. The cat they believed to be the father was a similar breed but black instead of the white/grey the mother is. All 3 kittens had short, hooked tails. This is something common in Southeast Asian cats but some other Tom probably dropped a nut in her as well and the kittens managed to get that one and only feature. ---
