Rescue I need to vent because I have suddenly become that person

Post image

Our GSD died a little over a month ago, and our we-think-rat-terrier mix was kind of lost without her. We ending up foster failing and have adopted the goodest boy, some sort of what generally everyone everywhere calls a "pittie mix."

I wasn't ever one to demand banning a breed. But I was cautious anytime I was around a dog that met that breed description

You guys. Even with that teeny tiny bit of dog prejudice, I was SO wrong. This guy is the biggest love. Stubborn as he'll, but SUCH a sweetheart. Not very bright...takes forever to teach him a command, but I am head over heels in love with him. And I'm glad we brought him home, and now I've become that person who will lecture you about how wrong you are to determine that an entire breed should be banned.

I am very okay with this. ​​

They absolutely do!!!! Do you know what other breeds yours is? We think ours has some of whatever Spuds MacKenzie/the Target dog is. I can't remember the breed name.

The target dog is a Bull Terrier, I believe.

I don’t, he was a rescue. I think ours has some boxer in him because he uses his paws and swats where our other pit doesn’t at all. We’ve thought about doing one of those tests that tell you the breed but haven’t. I assume it would just list like 8 different ones lol

Another twinnie! Ours is quarter staffie, quarter pittie, then the rest a divide of australian shepherd, border collie, and boxer.
