How can you tell if your dog is a pit bull?

Answer 1

go to Diane jessup's page to see how your dog measues up. Make shure your read the history of the beed (step one of "see how your dog measures up). Verry informative of what the breed is and how long it has been a working dog and what it took to make your dog. Best thing I can tell you is build a springpole and see what they do. Make it low at first so they can learn to grab it. If you have a pitbull you will see what was bread into them in the 1700's. go to Diane jessup's page to see how your dog measues up.

The ONLY way to be certain would be to have a record of their lineage. APBT's have pretty generic looks, and many other breeds and mutts can be easily mistaken for APBT's, so you can not go off their appearance alone.

Even the blood tests are known to be highly inaccurate, especially if the dog is a mix of more then two breeds, so not even blood tests can be used to know if the dog is an APBT.
