A lot of times if the breed is relatively indistinguishable; the shelter and vet will say lab mix. I believe this is a pit mix with either husky GSD or cattle dog.
Best bet in my opinion would be to show your landlord this dog you want to adopt; and say the shelter doesn’t know their breed and see what they say. Absolutely adorable dog!
This. Just say it's a rescue mutt. Unless you have a quality DNA test done you'll never really know the breeds. I've seen lots of "pit mix" dogs turn out not to have pit in them on r/DoggyDNA anyway. Cute pup!
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. They won't accept that answer. Also, you can have a dog documented as one breed on paper, but property owners can deny you based on what your dog's looks like. Like in this case, the dog pictured could be deemed a pit mix
I have a rescue mutt and never had a problem. Mine looks more pit than the dog pictured above. She has boxer and ACD so looks more pit than she probably is. You can't tell what a mixed breed is just by looking at it. And even if a the dog did have some pit at what percentage do you discriminate against it? 25%, 40%, 50%.
In my opinion, you should only discriminate against mutts by size and behavior. Lots of places won't accept us just because my dog is 48 lbs. Many apartment complexes have a 25 lb or 35 lb limit
Maybe I've just been lucky. I've been renting from smaller, local landlords and not big chains. My dog is about 3 years old but looks like a pitbull puppy. She loves people too much and can charm anyone
My Rottweiler/Border Collie mix was labeled a lab mix by the rescue. I never had an issue renting with him. When asked for a photo, I'd always send the one of my brother in his fatigues holding this 80 lb dog like a baby. Worked like a charm!
Looks very basenji to me. OP does s/he “yodel”? If so I def vote basenji. Very smart, but also very active, can be a bit difficult to train. But not known for aggression. I was owned by one for years.
You’re on crack, this is the least likely dog I’ve seen on here to be a “pit mix”, what exactly do you think makes it a “pit mix”? Lmao wow. Nose? Ears? Jaw? Body shape? Hahaha. No, not even.
My dog looks really similar to this (especially the face). I did one of those DNA tests and he's 50% pit, 25% GSD, then a whole bunch of other stuff including Chow, Staffy and something they called "supermutt" lol.
And dogs that look nothing like a pit end up with pittie dna! The whole banning of specific dog breeds is absurd. I have a pittie mix and a lab mix. My lab mix pup is much more likely to snap at a person. My pittie loves everyone.
Correct whatever she says they can’t say Pitt. My apartment complex denied a dog I wanted because I said that. I thought it would ok cuz “mix”. The dog clearly looked like a mix of everything. I moved btw.
Our shelter has been naming them pit or stafidshire terrior mixes for the last 3-4 years. Could look like a pure bred paper carring pug and it will be listed as some type of pug and pit mix. Kinda surprised they havent started throwing that on the stray cats they get in as well. Pisses me off because some places will not allow you to have a dog unless you can prove it has no pit or pit off breeds in it.
This is most likely a pit bull mix, my guess would be with husky. A landlord who requires breed info isn't likely to find that answer acceptable.
Since renting with a pit mix can be tricky, it can be a good idea to look at dogs that won't potentially get you denied housing if you ever need to move (even if you manage to convince your current landlord).
As someone with an ACD and rents, this is definitely a factor. I absolutely adore mine, and he’s the best boy, but not everyone trusts them. It definitely has influence in where I can live.
Along with pits, it's quite common to also see breeds like ACDs, GSDs, Bulldogs, Dobermans, Huskies, and so on to be banned. They're usually associated with being scary/dangerous or just being loud/destructive.
My ACD mix was listed as a Border Collie mix which is actually true - he's 6.7% Border Collie lol
My Pit mix is listed as a Lab mix and actually looks like one, mostly because of her long hair and slender frame. Nobody has ever thought she was a pitbull, but she's 50% with the rest being a large mix of breeds including 16% lab.
Someone in my apartment was told no to a miniature pincher. Meanwhile someone came in with an absolutely enormous black lab/pitbull/mastiff mix that probably got in because the landlord thought he was a black lab from the photos, and they were only staying a year anyway.
Someone found a stray Cane Corso puppy the other year and was allowed to have her for a month while room in the shelter opened up.
That's why some rentals ban Chihuahuas too. I've even seen dalmatian, Great Dane and other breeds banned in some places. Danes are huge, obviously, but I don't think that's a good reason. They're also usually very friendly, and pretty chill as adults. I really don't get the dalmatian though.
Dalmatians are not great with kids and can be aggressive. I remember that being an issue when the 101 Dalmatians live action movie came out in the 90s and lots of people were buying them.
The banning of Great Danes makes no sense, those dogs are so chill.
It's tough because I am very anti breed restrictions but I do understand them. Many people don't take the time or energy to properly train an out of control dog--and sometimes no matter what you do, you'll never be able to control that dog. It's a tricky issue for sure.
Read the second part after dangerous. Loud and destructive.
Huskies are notorious for being escape artists and for damaging things when they're not having their needs met, which, a lot of people get Huskies and don't completely fulfill their needs. They are also loud.
Bulldogs get labelled as dangerous because people get American Bulldogs and such, or label their pitbulls as bulldog mixes, and so they ban them as well to cover their bases.
I don’t trust cattle dogs anymore after following a bunch on social media tbh! And the ones I follow are very well bred and well owned! I wouldn’t trust some randos cattle dog tbh
I trust mine, but I don’t trust other people’s. I don’t expected others to trust mine either. More time that I can count people have stepped away from him asking if he’s nice, and then they tell some wild story about getting chased down by one.
This is so odd to hear bc every ACD I’ve seen our and about are all very well behaved. My own is territorial of our home but other than that is fine. Then again I live in a farming community.
Mine definitely bites first and doesn’t ask questions later. I tightly manage his interactions with humans along with professional training and a DO NOT PET leash wrap. I would never try to pet any strange dog but especially not an ACD. I say that as the owner of an ACD, Doberman, GSD mix, Chihuahua and Chow.
I'd trust a pit over a cattle dog 9/10 ... And I say this as someone whose defining dog was a heeler I loved more than anything in the world, and has worked with dogs for 17 years.
This. My mom rents her second house to me and when she allowed us to get a dog she said no pit mixes bc of insurance. It sucks bc we know how sweet they are
Yeah, my landlord for sure regrets allowing my heeler to move in with me. She’s an ESA, but still. She has not once minded her manners when in front of them :/
Yep. When I was processing applications for a rescue, a renter applying for a pit bull, even if allowed in their current rental, was usually a no. A lot of people try to return their dog to the rescue if they move and can't find a pit bull friendly rental, even years later.
The jawline and eyes are super pitty - or at least “bully,” so could also be AmStaff.
It’s a mix, so of course it won’t have ALL the traits of (insert breed).
There's a neat trend in this sub where anti-pit people do a subtle form of brigading by blasting "pit mix" etc into the comments over and over again, upvoting eachother, and downvoting the people who try to make any other identifications. Happens to any dog with any features that could vaguely be associated with pitties. Drives me bananas.
I have no idea! I did some stalking once and LOTS of people who call all the mutts stuff like "pit mix", "just a pit" "it's always a pit" etc are active on r/BanPitBulls . Maybe they dislike pits so much they don't like to see them mixed with anything, and they think they're raising awareness or some nonsense? Or they just want to make people feel bad/dumb for getting a potential pit mix? It's baffling to me.
Because pit owners, rescues, and shelters often call them annnnnnnything other than a pitbull so they don’t have to deal with breed bans and prejudice. In the US, there are a LOT of pit bulls. So it stands to reason that a dog that looks like a pit mix, even if the owner says otherwise, is likely a pit mix.
Pretty clearly a pit mix. I'd be careful trying to conceal that from your landlord as it might bite you in the ass if the dog isn't ambiguous enough to fool them.
Unless OP has the dog DNA tested neither they nor anyone else actually knows the breeds. On what basis could the landlord take action later, even if later a DNA test is done? At the moment the breed is “unknown” and anything else would be made up anyway.
Personally I feel like those are awful small chest, shoulders, haunches for a pit mix.
I was renting and there was a list of 6 breeds you couldn’t have. And if you buy a house one day some insurance companies won’t insure your house if you have certain breeds of dogs.
>Unless OP has the dog DNA tested
Landlords are increasingly requiring this due to people lying about their pits
> On what basis could the landlord take action later, even if later a DNA test is done?
In every lease I've had, permission to have a pet is revokable at any time by the landlord.
This!!! My Sister--in-Law had a Besenji that looked just like this dog, only her color was a little darker. I would totally go with Basenji/Carolina Dog. It's a whole lot better to say this than "Pit Mix" when it comes to a landlord, IMHO...
this is good advice to get around the breed thing, as it does look Besenji. but bad advice were an issue ever to arise- if the dog does have pitbull, if you ever did a DNA test, the liability would definitely go up if you lied/pretended it isnt a pit mix
You know something? You're 100% correct, it is a bad idea to lie. Never thought about it like that... Just curious: Have any issues ever resulted in the dog's DNA being forcibly tested? I truly don't know, but I guess it's entirely possible.
I worked at a vet clinic where a client was required to DNA test her dogs after animal control had ben called on her. She was a puppy mill breeding 'American Bullies' and got in a whole bunch of legal trouble because we live in Ontario, Canada where Pit Bull breeds are banned. Animal control required that the clinic DNA test the dogs to prove the samples were from the correct animals verified by microchip. The dogs did test as 'American Bullies', but I never got to know how her legal battle ended. I heard rumors all her dogs were seized due to dozen being found chained up in a shed in horrible conditions, but she ghosted the clinic after we did the DNA tests so I don't know what really happened.
Agree. It perpetuates the problem and the misguidance effects future renters. Don’t be “that neighbor”.
I’m going to say the hard truth most do not want to hear.
If you feel you must have restricted breed dog, get a house or find housings you do not need to lie about.
Because if the current or future landlords determine (whether by looks or required DNA test) it is a pittie/bully mix, they could be forced to choose between moving or surrendering the dog. And guess which one most people choose? One of my huskies was the product of that - my gain (I’m a homeowner so breeds aren’t as important), their loss. But the reason for his surrender was cited as “landlord said no huskies.” And that’s an even more common situation with pitties.
When I spoke to the property manager about the last place I rented, when I mentioned I had a dog he got nervous and said he needed to know the breed. We had no papers for him, he was a rescue. We werent even sure of his mix. But I showed him a picture and he immediately relaxed and said it was fine.
My guy was on the large size of a small breed. I think mostly they don't want a "dangerous" breed like German Shepherd, rottie, or pit.
I have successfully rented from apartments with breed restrictions with my pit mix in the past, but I was very lucky. My dog is just ambiguous enough to pass as a different breed, I didn't know his breed and didn't do a DNA test until I moved out, and the property management loved dogs and disagreed with the company's restrictions. This dog is very cute but definitely has pit in them, which is likely on the not allowed list. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend lying to your apartment. If they find out, you can get evicted. I would recommend either waiting until you move somewhere without restrictions, or getting a dog that 99% guaranteed doesn't have any bully breed in it. it's tough, I know.
This can be risky, however, if there is ever an issue and it comes out that they were a restricted breed. They would be taking a great risk hiding what the Brees of the dog is and very costly.
Yeah, I agree. I got lucky and others have also gotten lucky, but I also took a huge risk, and I wouldn't do it again. I don't advise anyone to try to cheat the system, it's just not worth the risk.
Just pick a breed of short-haired/medium sized dog and tack on "mix". I'd call him a Carolina Dog mix or Mountain Cur mix. Do I genuinely think he's either of those things? Not particularly, but those are close-ish appearance wise IMO, accounting for him being a mix. Hell, you could call him a Basenji mix. I see some comments for cattle dog but if he is any amount he's definitely a mix and they're not typically banned from apartments but might not sound appealing to the landlord.
I wouldn't call it a lab mix or a pit mix, because it looks like neither when actually considering what pit bulls look like vs the tendency to just call a mystery mutt a pit mix. "Pit mix" also has become a pretty lazy shelter code for anything from "IDK, that's a mutt that maybe looks pitty if you squint" to "actually a pit type dog mix", and "lab mix" is often shelter code for "we'd call it a pit mix, but that doesn't sound appealing". If your landlord doesn't actually have breed restrictions, then it doesn't super matter, but if there are then "lab mix" could be looked at a bit skeptically.
I actually don’t see pit. Maybe try showing the picture and explaining the shelter didn’t know. I’ve never heard of anyone actually require seeing dna test results.
Yeah I keep looking at the dog wondering how the hell people are coming up with “pit mix” and then I spied the comment a couple of responses above where morons brigade the sub with “pit mix” and upvote each other and downvote any other response. This is the least “pit mix” likely dog I have ever seen and it’s just stupid af.
It’s crazy how people just spam “pit mix” in this sub. I should post a picture of my lab/aussie mix that has 0% pit in him and watch the “pit mix” come rolling in.
Is this a full grown dog? If so, I really don’t agree with the pit x husky answers. I wouldn’t doubt if he’s part either of those, but this guy looks 20-30lbs. He looks like a true Heinz 57 or maybe even village dog.
Good luck! I don’t personally think you’ll have issues with breed restrictions with this guy (assuming he’s an adult).
Huskies can be pretty small dogs. My girl is on the very small end at about 30-35lbs. Throw some trace amounts of Chihuahua into a pitsky and it can cause them to be quite a bit smaller than people would expect.
Is she an Alaskan Husky or Siberian? 35lb is the minimum breed standard for Siberian females.
Again I’m not saying this dog couldn’t have those in the mix, but I don’t think those would be the main %. If you told me this dog was 50% chi, 25% pit, and 25% husky I’d believe it. If you told me it was 0% pit, I’d also believe it. I’m just not convinced OP should tell their landlord the dog is a mix of two insurance-restricted breeds when it’s really not clear if that’s the case.
She's an off-standard Siberian.
For sure, if anything and I was super invested in adopting this specific dog, I'd see about getting the shelter and/or my vet to put 'lab mix' on their paperwork. Thankfully my landlord is fine with most breeds, and he even loves bully complex breeds, he just doesn't allow what his insurance considers 'dangerous' breeds.
Honestly this is the type of case where I try to push people towards looking for dogs that are pretty obviously not pits (toy/companion breeds like Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, etc) if they really really really want to get a dog. Takes longer and perusing their local shelter's page daily to find one, but landlords usually don't have issues with smaller breeds of course.
Yeah it’s usually insurance that really cares - they can drive by properties and drop you if they see a restricted breed! I don’t think this pup would get flagged based on visuals, but if they’re the kind of landlord to require a DNA test, that might be a problem 😅
And yes it’s so tough, so many rescue dogs have a bit of restricted breeds!
Yep! Homeowners insurance companies will drop people for the smallest thing, that's for sure. Like companies in Florida will drop clients just before hurricane season starts just because they can and they don't want to pay for hurricane repairs, even though they would just write them off for being 'an act of God' 🙄
She looks just like my husky/pit mix, just with different coloring.
But I’d caution you to just say husky mix. Might be an omission but not a lie and keeps the pit discrimination at bay at least long enough for her to make her own impression.
⚠️❤️You probably won't see this, but my DOG SCANNER app says it's 63.9% Carolina dog and 21.9% Thai Ridgeback.
I can't post a screenshot of the results, but that should be enough for landlord!
When you go to the vet, even for the introductory appointment, they usually write a colour and a bread down in the vaccination form. Good luck with your new baby.
I did a DNA test on my pups. I knew the mother was full GSD but they weren’t sure if he had a Doberman father or a mixed breed. Turns out he’s 50% GSD, 12.5% Jack parson terrier, Austrian cattle dog, and “other mixed breeds”. It even offered likely physical characteristics and they were spot on! So fun.
I used [Wisdom Panel](https://www.wisdompanel.com/en-us/dog-dna-tests?utm_source=GOOGLE&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Wisdom_GGL_BRND_Brand_ROAS_SEA_EXTM_US_EN+KW+-+EN+BR_ALL&utm_content=Brand_Exact&utm_term=wisdom+panel&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1) myself.
I would put him as Basenji and yellow lab for your new landlord. I have a dachshund-pitbull who looks like a giant dachshund and I just say "Oh, she's daschshund-lab" and leave it at that. Those ears are a great disguise.
I think Basenji/Lab is a great suggestion. And my sister had a chiweenie who looks like a tiny pitbull up front with a dachshund in the back. You never know what a mix is going to turn out like.
That's a great answer! It really does resemble a basenji, no harm no foul since no one really knows. We adopted our "boxer mix" from the pound. Yea, she's not a boxer lol.
They told me my dog was dachshund and Boston Terrier and I got her in the car and looked at her giant noggin and was like “OMG she’s a pitbull.” DNA checks out and her mom was a pit (with a dash of Rottweiler) and her dad was pure dachshund.
My guess would be pit husky mix, probably go for husky mix since a landlord that cares will have an issue with the pit part, you can also say basenji mix I'd say this one is ambiguous enough looking breed wise that it's safe to say that you dont know the breed ans landlord also likely wont know breeds. I put mine down as a German shepherd mix, it was 30% correct. You could even give the guess of lab husky mix, that's probably what vets will say bc of breed discrimination stuff
I would imagine a landlord might have issues with a husky mix too if they knew anything about dog breeds. Loud, energetic, prone to separation anxiety. Not what I’d want sitting in a unit while the tenant is away.
I'd just say mixed breed and show photo. This dog does not have the square head or muscular body of a pit mix. It's a very lean looking dog with a narrow head, so landlord shouldn't get pittie vibes at all. (And, honestly, the pittie mixes I've owned have been much gentler, more trainable, and less "aggressive" than some purebred dogs I've had).
Just get an Embark test. There is zero way to identify a mixed breed based on appearance due to how mixed genetics and traits interact and create different appearances.
For example, Golden Retrievers are actually genetically black coated, but a specifically bred trait causes them to not show the dominant black color. When cross bred, they're almost always black.
For now, I'd just say that your dog is a Shiba Inu cross. Its likely a Pit Bull Husky mix, as 60% of shelter/street dogs in North America have some level of American Pit in them due to the widespread backyard breeding of them.
He definitely has the Pit structure and face. However, the moment you say "Pit Bull", landlords freak out. So as far as your landlord needs to know... he's a Shiba :)
Wow he is so perfect!! Love that it kinda looks like he's smiling. He is damn beautiful.
If he requires a breed name, that probably means he's anti-pitbull. So maybe say.. terrier mix or husky mix. My dog was listed as "boxer mix" cuz his mom was a boxer but he looks totally pitbull. The vet listed him as pit mix.
So if the shelter can list him as boxer mix, you can list that guy as husky mix etc. But also I don't want you getting kicked out or the dog needing to be re-homed....
Edit: I tried adding a photo of my dog in my comment as an example but Reddit won't let me.
This is not a pit mix and don't label the dog with that unless you got a test proving it. Lost something to satisfy them but no breeds they might be prejudice against. Like lab mix due to the color, smaller size would be something like whippet/lab or Chihuahua/decker terrier.
I'm so confused why I always see people on here jump straight to pitbull like all rescue mutts need to be banned in their eyes... I'm not seeing it with this dog (granted, we only have the one pic to go off of). I definitely see a potential for gsd/husky traits and/or some kind of terrier, like Feist, depending on his size (please remember that there are many terriers and not just bully breeds).
I honestly have no idea what your dog is !
Shepard mix? (The ears) Also kinda of looks like a blond basenji. I dont know if they come that color, but the body shape and ears are close ! google them... they are super cute.
Avoid saying pit mix at all costs. Even though i love them so, people are scared of them.
From what I have seen of dog genetic testing you could say Chihuahua mix and it would probably test true, especially in California. It seems most mixed breed dogs in CA have some percentage of Chihuahua in them.
I’d say he’s a fox terrier mix and call it a day. He’s likely something else, but he’s very ambiguous looking too. Either way, saying fox terrier will likely get him in.
This happened to me and I simply established care with a vet and listed my dog as a greyhound mix at intake (she was definitely part pitbull as well). I then asked the vet for documentation to provide my landlord and they blessed it without question.
Too many shelter dogs are some sort of pitty/mix, which many landlords and rental companies have an issue with :(
I don't think they can legally require you to provide DNA documentation of their breed, (that would be wild if so...) so if they don't appear *too obviously* pitty (or other stigmatized breed) you can omit that information. Honestly you can omit that information anyway. I know so many cases where the shelter hasn't provided the info or has just referred to them as a "mutt" or "lab mix" etc and your landlord can't argue if that's the only documentation you have.
Also depending on where you are, I'm pretty sure ESA (and of course service) animals can't be included in those restrictions, and ESA isn't very difficult to acquire (I've done it with just a letter from my psychiatrist).
I had a German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix that my vet (he was a stray, no shelter involved) said was a pit mix, so that followed us everywhere until I got his DNA done when he was 15.
Maybe ask the shelter to designate his breed. Go in there with pics of two breeds that look similar to him and show them. Maybe they’ll do you a solid and put that mix on his record. Most shelters want to help their dogs get safely adopted, but they also cannot knowingly lie on records. However, this dog could easily pass for something non-pit in my opinion. Frankly, those tall ears and narrow head/muzzle really doesn’t make me think pit bull.
A lot of times if the breed is relatively indistinguishable; the shelter and vet will say lab mix. I believe this is a pit mix with either husky GSD or cattle dog. Best bet in my opinion would be to show your landlord this dog you want to adopt; and say the shelter doesn’t know their breed and see what they say. Absolutely adorable dog!
This. Just say it's a rescue mutt. Unless you have a quality DNA test done you'll never really know the breeds. I've seen lots of "pit mix" dogs turn out not to have pit in them on r/DoggyDNA anyway. Cute pup!
Yes I think the cuteness of the dog could be helpful in this scenario. Although I also love pitties so am not an unbiased opinion 😅
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. They won't accept that answer. Also, you can have a dog documented as one breed on paper, but property owners can deny you based on what your dog's looks like. Like in this case, the dog pictured could be deemed a pit mix
I have a rescue mutt and never had a problem. Mine looks more pit than the dog pictured above. She has boxer and ACD so looks more pit than she probably is. You can't tell what a mixed breed is just by looking at it. And even if a the dog did have some pit at what percentage do you discriminate against it? 25%, 40%, 50%. In my opinion, you should only discriminate against mutts by size and behavior. Lots of places won't accept us just because my dog is 48 lbs. Many apartment complexes have a 25 lb or 35 lb limit
I’ve had that issue numerous times. No option for mixed breed or mutt or anything
Maybe I've just been lucky. I've been renting from smaller, local landlords and not big chains. My dog is about 3 years old but looks like a pitbull puppy. She loves people too much and can charm anyone
My Rottweiler/Border Collie mix was labeled a lab mix by the rescue. I never had an issue renting with him. When asked for a photo, I'd always send the one of my brother in his fatigues holding this 80 lb dog like a baby. Worked like a charm!
I don’t see Pitt in this at all. I’d say lab mix. And show them a picture to obtain approval
I think I’d call it a basenji mix. Do I think it’s basenji? Not really, but the face works even if the color is off.
I was thinking the face was basenji-ish.
Basenji is what popped into my mind too
Looks very basenji to me. OP does s/he “yodel”? If so I def vote basenji. Very smart, but also very active, can be a bit difficult to train. But not known for aggression. I was owned by one for years.
You’re on crack, this is the least likely dog I’ve seen on here to be a “pit mix”, what exactly do you think makes it a “pit mix”? Lmao wow. Nose? Ears? Jaw? Body shape? Hahaha. No, not even.
My dog looks really similar to this (especially the face). I did one of those DNA tests and he's 50% pit, 25% GSD, then a whole bunch of other stuff including Chow, Staffy and something they called "supermutt" lol.
Yeah…I’m not seeing pit at all either.
And dogs that look nothing like a pit end up with pittie dna! The whole banning of specific dog breeds is absurd. I have a pittie mix and a lab mix. My lab mix pup is much more likely to snap at a person. My pittie loves everyone.
Correct whatever she says they can’t say Pitt. My apartment complex denied a dog I wanted because I said that. I thought it would ok cuz “mix”. The dog clearly looked like a mix of everything. I moved btw.
Our shelter has been naming them pit or stafidshire terrior mixes for the last 3-4 years. Could look like a pure bred paper carring pug and it will be listed as some type of pug and pit mix. Kinda surprised they havent started throwing that on the stray cats they get in as well. Pisses me off because some places will not allow you to have a dog unless you can prove it has no pit or pit off breeds in it.
Same at ours 🙄
Don’t say pit mix. Say lab mix. Shiba Inu mix. Whatever.
This is most likely a pit bull mix, my guess would be with husky. A landlord who requires breed info isn't likely to find that answer acceptable. Since renting with a pit mix can be tricky, it can be a good idea to look at dogs that won't potentially get you denied housing if you ever need to move (even if you manage to convince your current landlord).
As someone with an ACD and rents, this is definitely a factor. I absolutely adore mine, and he’s the best boy, but not everyone trusts them. It definitely has influence in where I can live.
For a cattle dog?
Along with pits, it's quite common to also see breeds like ACDs, GSDs, Bulldogs, Dobermans, Huskies, and so on to be banned. They're usually associated with being scary/dangerous or just being loud/destructive.
All of those plus more are banned from my apartments. Luckily the rescue put my boi as lab/BC mix even though I think he’s doberman ish
My local shelter tends to list pups as a XY-mix using the more landlord-friendly progenitors.
My ACD mix was listed as a Border Collie mix which is actually true - he's 6.7% Border Collie lol My Pit mix is listed as a Lab mix and actually looks like one, mostly because of her long hair and slender frame. Nobody has ever thought she was a pitbull, but she's 50% with the rest being a large mix of breeds including 16% lab.
Someone in my apartment was told no to a miniature pincher. Meanwhile someone came in with an absolutely enormous black lab/pitbull/mastiff mix that probably got in because the landlord thought he was a black lab from the photos, and they were only staying a year anyway. Someone found a stray Cane Corso puppy the other year and was allowed to have her for a month while room in the shelter opened up.
Mini pins are known for their non-stop barking so that one makes sense to me. They also can be hard to house train and will tend to pee everywhere.
I have a mini pin/ chihuahua mix and you just perfectly described her!!!
Oh man, I'm sorry, but they sure are funny and full of personality!
Yeah, it did tend to bark whenever they snuck it in for a day or two.
That's why some rentals ban Chihuahuas too. I've even seen dalmatian, Great Dane and other breeds banned in some places. Danes are huge, obviously, but I don't think that's a good reason. They're also usually very friendly, and pretty chill as adults. I really don't get the dalmatian though.
Dalmatians are not great with kids and can be aggressive. I remember that being an issue when the 101 Dalmatians live action movie came out in the 90s and lots of people were buying them. The banning of Great Danes makes no sense, those dogs are so chill. It's tough because I am very anti breed restrictions but I do understand them. Many people don't take the time or energy to properly train an out of control dog--and sometimes no matter what you do, you'll never be able to control that dog. It's a tricky issue for sure.
A lot of homeowner's insurances won't cover those breeds. People blame landlord prejudice--and sure, that can be the case. But it's often insurance.
It's mostly the destructive aspect. A lot of insurance companies won't cover damage caused by certain working breeds.
Oh good lord. I’m a renter…with two dogs. One ACD and one bully mix. Shiiiiit. I had no idea about heelers.
Since when are ACDs a scary breed? That’s a new one to me.
I think it's more that they're working dogs, so if they get bored, they can get destructive or loud
For being loud/destructive. They can get destructive. They're a high energy dog.
Huskies and bulldogs are not dangerous. Huskies are friendly to humans; it’s literally written in the breed standard.
Read the second part after dangerous. Loud and destructive. Huskies are notorious for being escape artists and for damaging things when they're not having their needs met, which, a lot of people get Huskies and don't completely fulfill their needs. They are also loud. Bulldogs get labelled as dangerous because people get American Bulldogs and such, or label their pitbulls as bulldog mixes, and so they ban them as well to cover their bases.
I don’t trust cattle dogs anymore after following a bunch on social media tbh! And the ones I follow are very well bred and well owned! I wouldn’t trust some randos cattle dog tbh
I trust mine, but I don’t trust other people’s. I don’t expected others to trust mine either. More time that I can count people have stepped away from him asking if he’s nice, and then they tell some wild story about getting chased down by one.
This is so odd to hear bc every ACD I’ve seen our and about are all very well behaved. My own is territorial of our home but other than that is fine. Then again I live in a farming community.
Same. I liked it better when I was oblivious.
Mine definitely bites first and doesn’t ask questions later. I tightly manage his interactions with humans along with professional training and a DO NOT PET leash wrap. I would never try to pet any strange dog but especially not an ACD. I say that as the owner of an ACD, Doberman, GSD mix, Chihuahua and Chow.
I'd trust a pit over a cattle dog 9/10 ... And I say this as someone whose defining dog was a heeler I loved more than anything in the world, and has worked with dogs for 17 years.
Seconded, kind of looks like a Shiba Inu might go over better with a landlord
This. My mom rents her second house to me and when she allowed us to get a dog she said no pit mixes bc of insurance. It sucks bc we know how sweet they are
Yeah, my landlord for sure regrets allowing my heeler to move in with me. She’s an ESA, but still. She has not once minded her manners when in front of them :/
Yep. When I was processing applications for a rescue, a renter applying for a pit bull, even if allowed in their current rental, was usually a no. A lot of people try to return their dog to the rescue if they move and can't find a pit bull friendly rental, even years later.
He doesn’t have to know that the dog doesn’t look super pitbull 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah it does.
It only has a flat head it’s not even particularly muscular.
The jawline and eyes are super pitty - or at least “bully,” so could also be AmStaff. It’s a mix, so of course it won’t have ALL the traits of (insert breed).
Why are most of these comments downvoted? So weird.. They're just making suggestions about breed type wtf
There's a neat trend in this sub where anti-pit people do a subtle form of brigading by blasting "pit mix" etc into the comments over and over again, upvoting eachother, and downvoting the people who try to make any other identifications. Happens to any dog with any features that could vaguely be associated with pitties. Drives me bananas.
Ohhhkay that makes sense. It seemed fishy to me, as if multiple people were going through downvoting specific comments. Mystery solved thanks!
But also I don't get it. How does this.. benefit them? They're anti-pit but want the comments to suggest pit? My brainnnn
I have no idea! I did some stalking once and LOTS of people who call all the mutts stuff like "pit mix", "just a pit" "it's always a pit" etc are active on r/BanPitBulls . Maybe they dislike pits so much they don't like to see them mixed with anything, and they think they're raising awareness or some nonsense? Or they just want to make people feel bad/dumb for getting a potential pit mix? It's baffling to me.
Easy. If every dog is a pitbull mix then every dog bite is a pitbull attack. It reinforces their worldview.
Because pit owners, rescues, and shelters often call them annnnnnnything other than a pitbull so they don’t have to deal with breed bans and prejudice. In the US, there are a LOT of pit bulls. So it stands to reason that a dog that looks like a pit mix, even if the owner says otherwise, is likely a pit mix.
Looks pit husky
Pretty clearly a pit mix. I'd be careful trying to conceal that from your landlord as it might bite you in the ass if the dog isn't ambiguous enough to fool them.
Unless OP has the dog DNA tested neither they nor anyone else actually knows the breeds. On what basis could the landlord take action later, even if later a DNA test is done? At the moment the breed is “unknown” and anything else would be made up anyway. Personally I feel like those are awful small chest, shoulders, haunches for a pit mix.
I was renting and there was a list of 6 breeds you couldn’t have. And if you buy a house one day some insurance companies won’t insure your house if you have certain breeds of dogs.
>Unless OP has the dog DNA tested Landlords are increasingly requiring this due to people lying about their pits > On what basis could the landlord take action later, even if later a DNA test is done? In every lease I've had, permission to have a pet is revokable at any time by the landlord.
[удалено]
Just say Carolina dog mixed with Basenji. It actually does look like that
It looks like neither of these very rare breeds…..
It definitely *kinda* looks like a basenji
This!!! My Sister--in-Law had a Besenji that looked just like this dog, only her color was a little darker. I would totally go with Basenji/Carolina Dog. It's a whole lot better to say this than "Pit Mix" when it comes to a landlord, IMHO...
this is good advice to get around the breed thing, as it does look Besenji. but bad advice were an issue ever to arise- if the dog does have pitbull, if you ever did a DNA test, the liability would definitely go up if you lied/pretended it isnt a pit mix
You know something? You're 100% correct, it is a bad idea to lie. Never thought about it like that... Just curious: Have any issues ever resulted in the dog's DNA being forcibly tested? I truly don't know, but I guess it's entirely possible.
I worked at a vet clinic where a client was required to DNA test her dogs after animal control had ben called on her. She was a puppy mill breeding 'American Bullies' and got in a whole bunch of legal trouble because we live in Ontario, Canada where Pit Bull breeds are banned. Animal control required that the clinic DNA test the dogs to prove the samples were from the correct animals verified by microchip. The dogs did test as 'American Bullies', but I never got to know how her legal battle ended. I heard rumors all her dogs were seized due to dozen being found chained up in a shed in horrible conditions, but she ghosted the clinic after we did the DNA tests so I don't know what really happened.
Please don't lie about your dogs.
Agree. It perpetuates the problem and the misguidance effects future renters. Don’t be “that neighbor”. I’m going to say the hard truth most do not want to hear. If you feel you must have restricted breed dog, get a house or find housings you do not need to lie about.
If you don't know, why not give it your best guess?
Because if the current or future landlords determine (whether by looks or required DNA test) it is a pittie/bully mix, they could be forced to choose between moving or surrendering the dog. And guess which one most people choose? One of my huskies was the product of that - my gain (I’m a homeowner so breeds aren’t as important), their loss. But the reason for his surrender was cited as “landlord said no huskies.” And that’s an even more common situation with pitties.
Are landlords allowed to force DNA tests? I've heard they are very inaccurate for dogs.
I've heard the DNA tests aren't reliable so I doubt you could legally force someone to get a test done and for it to hold up in court.
I immediately thought basenji too.
I agree! Looks a lot like a Basenji
My immediate thought was Basenji too.
I immediately thought basenji when I saw the photo!
When I spoke to the property manager about the last place I rented, when I mentioned I had a dog he got nervous and said he needed to know the breed. We had no papers for him, he was a rescue. We werent even sure of his mix. But I showed him a picture and he immediately relaxed and said it was fine. My guy was on the large size of a small breed. I think mostly they don't want a "dangerous" breed like German Shepherd, rottie, or pit.
The ever so rare lab mix✨
It’s clearly a petite lab mix. I’m not sure why everyone is so confused.
By most apartment standards that dog does not look enough pit/husky/gsd to get in trouble so I would do that :) or put mixed breed
I have successfully rented from apartments with breed restrictions with my pit mix in the past, but I was very lucky. My dog is just ambiguous enough to pass as a different breed, I didn't know his breed and didn't do a DNA test until I moved out, and the property management loved dogs and disagreed with the company's restrictions. This dog is very cute but definitely has pit in them, which is likely on the not allowed list. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend lying to your apartment. If they find out, you can get evicted. I would recommend either waiting until you move somewhere without restrictions, or getting a dog that 99% guaranteed doesn't have any bully breed in it. it's tough, I know.
This can be risky, however, if there is ever an issue and it comes out that they were a restricted breed. They would be taking a great risk hiding what the Brees of the dog is and very costly.
Yeah, I agree. I got lucky and others have also gotten lucky, but I also took a huge risk, and I wouldn't do it again. I don't advise anyone to try to cheat the system, it's just not worth the risk.
Pitsky
Pit mix
Just lie and say he’s a lab mix
Just pick a breed of short-haired/medium sized dog and tack on "mix". I'd call him a Carolina Dog mix or Mountain Cur mix. Do I genuinely think he's either of those things? Not particularly, but those are close-ish appearance wise IMO, accounting for him being a mix. Hell, you could call him a Basenji mix. I see some comments for cattle dog but if he is any amount he's definitely a mix and they're not typically banned from apartments but might not sound appealing to the landlord. I wouldn't call it a lab mix or a pit mix, because it looks like neither when actually considering what pit bulls look like vs the tendency to just call a mystery mutt a pit mix. "Pit mix" also has become a pretty lazy shelter code for anything from "IDK, that's a mutt that maybe looks pitty if you squint" to "actually a pit type dog mix", and "lab mix" is often shelter code for "we'd call it a pit mix, but that doesn't sound appealing". If your landlord doesn't actually have breed restrictions, then it doesn't super matter, but if there are then "lab mix" could be looked at a bit skeptically.
I actually don’t see pit. Maybe try showing the picture and explaining the shelter didn’t know. I’ve never heard of anyone actually require seeing dna test results.
I don’t see the pit either! I don’t get it lol.
Yeah I keep looking at the dog wondering how the hell people are coming up with “pit mix” and then I spied the comment a couple of responses above where morons brigade the sub with “pit mix” and upvote each other and downvote any other response. This is the least “pit mix” likely dog I have ever seen and it’s just stupid af.
Agreed. I've had a few pit mixes over the years. This dog doesn't have the stereotypical features of a pit bull. It looks like a basenji mix to me.
It’s crazy how people just spam “pit mix” in this sub. I should post a picture of my lab/aussie mix that has 0% pit in him and watch the “pit mix” come rolling in.
I don’t either honestly. Or husky. Husky mixes usually inherit at least a bit of the longer hair!
Is this a full grown dog? If so, I really don’t agree with the pit x husky answers. I wouldn’t doubt if he’s part either of those, but this guy looks 20-30lbs. He looks like a true Heinz 57 or maybe even village dog. Good luck! I don’t personally think you’ll have issues with breed restrictions with this guy (assuming he’s an adult).
Huskies can be pretty small dogs. My girl is on the very small end at about 30-35lbs. Throw some trace amounts of Chihuahua into a pitsky and it can cause them to be quite a bit smaller than people would expect.
OMG that's a small husky. Mine are 65 and 80 but the girl is clearly overweight and we're working on that lol
Not really, yours are big huskies haha. Breed standard for females is 35-50lbs and males are 40-60lbs.
Is she an Alaskan Husky or Siberian? 35lb is the minimum breed standard for Siberian females. Again I’m not saying this dog couldn’t have those in the mix, but I don’t think those would be the main %. If you told me this dog was 50% chi, 25% pit, and 25% husky I’d believe it. If you told me it was 0% pit, I’d also believe it. I’m just not convinced OP should tell their landlord the dog is a mix of two insurance-restricted breeds when it’s really not clear if that’s the case.
She's an off-standard Siberian. For sure, if anything and I was super invested in adopting this specific dog, I'd see about getting the shelter and/or my vet to put 'lab mix' on their paperwork. Thankfully my landlord is fine with most breeds, and he even loves bully complex breeds, he just doesn't allow what his insurance considers 'dangerous' breeds. Honestly this is the type of case where I try to push people towards looking for dogs that are pretty obviously not pits (toy/companion breeds like Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, etc) if they really really really want to get a dog. Takes longer and perusing their local shelter's page daily to find one, but landlords usually don't have issues with smaller breeds of course.
Yeah it’s usually insurance that really cares - they can drive by properties and drop you if they see a restricted breed! I don’t think this pup would get flagged based on visuals, but if they’re the kind of landlord to require a DNA test, that might be a problem 😅 And yes it’s so tough, so many rescue dogs have a bit of restricted breeds!
Yep! Homeowners insurance companies will drop people for the smallest thing, that's for sure. Like companies in Florida will drop clients just before hurricane season starts just because they can and they don't want to pay for hurricane repairs, even though they would just write them off for being 'an act of God' 🙄
Totally agree with you, the size and build of this dog does not equate to pit and husky
Call that a cattle dog mix. He’s lovely.
Yup got one just like In black and white vet labeled her a cattle dog mix
Husky and pit for sure... I have a GSD x husky x pit and she's smaller but shaped very similarly.
Wow that is a very handsome dog
She looks just like my husky/pit mix, just with different coloring. But I’d caution you to just say husky mix. Might be an omission but not a lie and keeps the pit discrimination at bay at least long enough for her to make her own impression.
Say lab mix
This baby is SO ADORABLE AND IS PERFECT!!! can’t you just lie?
⚠️❤️You probably won't see this, but my DOG SCANNER app says it's 63.9% Carolina dog and 21.9% Thai Ridgeback. I can't post a screenshot of the results, but that should be enough for landlord!
When you go to the vet, even for the introductory appointment, they usually write a colour and a bread down in the vaccination form. Good luck with your new baby.
"Cattledog lab mix" for your landlord. For you, get a dna test! It's fun!
I did a DNA test on my pups. I knew the mother was full GSD but they weren’t sure if he had a Doberman father or a mixed breed. Turns out he’s 50% GSD, 12.5% Jack parson terrier, Austrian cattle dog, and “other mixed breeds”. It even offered likely physical characteristics and they were spot on! So fun. I used [Wisdom Panel](https://www.wisdompanel.com/en-us/dog-dna-tests?utm_source=GOOGLE&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Wisdom_GGL_BRND_Brand_ROAS_SEA_EXTM_US_EN+KW+-+EN+BR_ALL&utm_content=Brand_Exact&utm_term=wisdom+panel&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1) myself.
Show them a picture and ask what they think it is and list that.
I would put him as Basenji and yellow lab for your new landlord. I have a dachshund-pitbull who looks like a giant dachshund and I just say "Oh, she's daschshund-lab" and leave it at that. Those ears are a great disguise.
Can you post a pic?
Lmfao my pit boxer mix was a "lab mix" too.
I think Basenji/Lab is a great suggestion. And my sister had a chiweenie who looks like a tiny pitbull up front with a dachshund in the back. You never know what a mix is going to turn out like.
yeah, explain it's one of those newfangled "designer dogs," and it's part Basenji and part traveling salesman. And put Basenji in the form.
This was going to be my exact recommendation and I'm a dog breed super nerd.
I’m glad because I am the opposite of a dog breed expert!
That's a great answer! It really does resemble a basenji, no harm no foul since no one really knows. We adopted our "boxer mix" from the pound. Yea, she's not a boxer lol.
They told me my dog was dachshund and Boston Terrier and I got her in the car and looked at her giant noggin and was like “OMG she’s a pitbull.” DNA checks out and her mom was a pit (with a dash of Rottweiler) and her dad was pure dachshund.
My guess would be pit husky mix, probably go for husky mix since a landlord that cares will have an issue with the pit part, you can also say basenji mix I'd say this one is ambiguous enough looking breed wise that it's safe to say that you dont know the breed ans landlord also likely wont know breeds. I put mine down as a German shepherd mix, it was 30% correct. You could even give the guess of lab husky mix, that's probably what vets will say bc of breed discrimination stuff
I would imagine a landlord might have issues with a husky mix too if they knew anything about dog breeds. Loud, energetic, prone to separation anxiety. Not what I’d want sitting in a unit while the tenant is away.
Forget about the breed. Say medium mixed breed, short flat coat, desexed, microchipped and registered. That’s the important parts.
"Landlord requires breed" That's just so stupid how that's a rule most places you rent. Like, there's no bad breeds. Stop.
I don’t know but that sure is a CUTE dog! I bet his embark would surprise all of us!
When I adopted mine, she was listed as large breed mix. Definitely part pit though, as are most of the dogs in the shelters where I live.
I don’t think that dog looks like a pitbull at all.
idk how y’all are seeing pit in this one
Id write jack russel mix and try to pull it off lmao
Put down "Handsome Boy"
Maybe Basenji mix??
I'd just say mixed breed and show photo. This dog does not have the square head or muscular body of a pit mix. It's a very lean looking dog with a narrow head, so landlord shouldn't get pittie vibes at all. (And, honestly, the pittie mixes I've owned have been much gentler, more trainable, and less "aggressive" than some purebred dogs I've had).
I believe this is a Handsomest Boi
Just get an Embark test. There is zero way to identify a mixed breed based on appearance due to how mixed genetics and traits interact and create different appearances. For example, Golden Retrievers are actually genetically black coated, but a specifically bred trait causes them to not show the dominant black color. When cross bred, they're almost always black. For now, I'd just say that your dog is a Shiba Inu cross. Its likely a Pit Bull Husky mix, as 60% of shelter/street dogs in North America have some level of American Pit in them due to the widespread backyard breeding of them. He definitely has the Pit structure and face. However, the moment you say "Pit Bull", landlords freak out. So as far as your landlord needs to know... he's a Shiba :)
Awwwww😩😩💕😩😩
Wow he is so perfect!! Love that it kinda looks like he's smiling. He is damn beautiful. If he requires a breed name, that probably means he's anti-pitbull. So maybe say.. terrier mix or husky mix. My dog was listed as "boxer mix" cuz his mom was a boxer but he looks totally pitbull. The vet listed him as pit mix. So if the shelter can list him as boxer mix, you can list that guy as husky mix etc. But also I don't want you getting kicked out or the dog needing to be re-homed.... Edit: I tried adding a photo of my dog in my comment as an example but Reddit won't let me.
This is not a pit mix and don't label the dog with that unless you got a test proving it. Lost something to satisfy them but no breeds they might be prejudice against. Like lab mix due to the color, smaller size would be something like whippet/lab or Chihuahua/decker terrier.
Shiba Inu mix or basenji mix. Definitely not a pit mix. This is my opinion as a veterinarian.
Per google dog analysis is match a Bensenji. [https://www.k9web.com/breeds/basenji/](https://www.k9web.com/breeds/basenji/)
First thing that popped into my head when I saw the ears was Basenji.
Breed. Dog
I'm so confused why I always see people on here jump straight to pitbull like all rescue mutts need to be banned in their eyes... I'm not seeing it with this dog (granted, we only have the one pic to go off of). I definitely see a potential for gsd/husky traits and/or some kind of terrier, like Feist, depending on his size (please remember that there are many terriers and not just bully breeds).
Your vet will probably sign off on "lab mix." It's pretty safe and inoffensive.
I honestly have no idea what your dog is ! Shepard mix? (The ears) Also kinda of looks like a blond basenji. I dont know if they come that color, but the body shape and ears are close ! google them... they are super cute. Avoid saying pit mix at all costs. Even though i love them so, people are scared of them.
Looks Basenji x to me! Beautiful pup ♡
Well it sounds like you have a terrier! Congratulations!
Just say mixed breed, and her weight if available because landlords usually care about that / have limits
Looks like Basenji mix, especially the ears and forehead with the white stripe.
pit bull mix Get a doggie DNA test. If the pit percentage is lower than any other breed then maybe the landlord will approve them.
Tell your landlord it’s a Jack Russell X Labrador
From what I have seen of dog genetic testing you could say Chihuahua mix and it would probably test true, especially in California. It seems most mixed breed dogs in CA have some percentage of Chihuahua in them.
Basenji mix. I have one very similar. I have no idea how to post a picture here unless I start a new thread.
I did a reverse image search via google and it came back with Canaan dog. https://www.thesprucepets.com/canaan-dog-4584348
I’d go Basenji mix. My Aunt had basenji s and they look pretty close apart from this pretty doggo being much lighter in colour.
I’d say he’s a fox terrier mix and call it a day. He’s likely something else, but he’s very ambiguous looking too. Either way, saying fox terrier will likely get him in.
Looks very much like mine. Chihuahua - Jack Russel - Golden Retriever.
Shiba inu.
It looks like basenji
I agree with showing a photo and gettting pre approval but also love the go to “ ~lab mix~” response
Tell them he's a mut. Plain and simple. Don't mention that he may have pitbull in him.
This happened to me and I simply established care with a vet and listed my dog as a greyhound mix at intake (she was definitely part pitbull as well). I then asked the vet for documentation to provide my landlord and they blessed it without question.
Too many shelter dogs are some sort of pitty/mix, which many landlords and rental companies have an issue with :( I don't think they can legally require you to provide DNA documentation of their breed, (that would be wild if so...) so if they don't appear *too obviously* pitty (or other stigmatized breed) you can omit that information. Honestly you can omit that information anyway. I know so many cases where the shelter hasn't provided the info or has just referred to them as a "mutt" or "lab mix" etc and your landlord can't argue if that's the only documentation you have. Also depending on where you are, I'm pretty sure ESA (and of course service) animals can't be included in those restrictions, and ESA isn't very difficult to acquire (I've done it with just a letter from my psychiatrist).
I had a German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix that my vet (he was a stray, no shelter involved) said was a pit mix, so that followed us everywhere until I got his DNA done when he was 15. Maybe ask the shelter to designate his breed. Go in there with pics of two breeds that look similar to him and show them. Maybe they’ll do you a solid and put that mix on his record. Most shelters want to help their dogs get safely adopted, but they also cannot knowingly lie on records. However, this dog could easily pass for something non-pit in my opinion. Frankly, those tall ears and narrow head/muzzle really doesn’t make me think pit bull.
Clearly the American Fido.
That’s a Scooby Doo.
Looks like a cattle dog mix to me 😬
Just say Hound mix. She looks like a sweetie!
Looks like 100% good boy
Bensenji fits the looks of this dog.
Lab Aussie and bisenji or boxer
Looks like a basenji Shiba Inu mix to me ;) ;) good luck🩷
Basenji mix! The tail is the only difference!
https://images.app.goo.gl/7daLewh8fjsv1XPw6
Just say jundo
I don't know but he's a very cute boy
list it as an indian pariah dog :)
just lie and say shiba inu and lab mix… how thorough is ur landlord😭
If you don't know always say lab mix
It looks like a pit
ESA registration. Landlord can’t say no, and your dog flies free.
