| Topic | Why do people go to such lengths to defend pit bulls? |
| Golden Road 02/21/18 4:54:35 PM #24: | Doctor Foxx posted... People commonly misidentify dogs as pit bulls. pit bull isn't a breed. I've heard this a lot, and I don't get this argument. Dog breeds are like words. They're essentially a human-created concept. If a word has a generally agreed-upon definition, then for most practical (informal) purposes, it's as good as a real word even if Oxford hasn't officially recognized it as an official word. Similarly, if a dog has a generally agreed-upon breed, then for most practical purposes, it's a real breed even if the Official Dog People Association Or Whatever hasn't officially classified it as a breed. --- Who's your favorite character from "Bend It Like Beckham"?
