looks like a chow cross to me

 

clearly as seen from the picture you can tell that's not a pitbull.
i guess anything that bites is a pitbull. Maybe if i go buy a rabbit and it bites some lettuce omg!!!!! it might be mistaken as a pitbull!!!

 

What breed is it? Most likely a typical street bred mutt!! There's no telling which breed(s) that dog comes from. Lab, Chow, shepard etc...

 

Those dumb asses. Definitely writing to them!

Looks like a shiba inu to me...but who the hell knows?

 

Looks to me like like a Ainu dog (Hokkaida Dog, Ainu-Ken) .Pitbull....how stupid can people be?

 

Shibu inu crosss (sp) ?

 

looks like a shiba inu

 

its that one breed stupid ass people get..oh i forget the name. should be sued for false advertising.blind cross eyed sob reporters.

 

Too large and stocky for most Shiba's I've seen.

Looks like a chow mix.

 

looks like a shiba inu mix, maybe a little bit of chow. Also note how BUSHY that tucked tail is

 

I wrote both news reposrters an email.....im waiting for there response and i encourage others as well....there emails are at the bottom of the article.

 

Shiba Inu was my first guess. Maybe a Shiba Inu mix.

 

Where in that article does it say this dog pictured is a "pit bull?" Watch the video... there were two dogs on the owner's (of the poodle) property. One, which does appear to be a pit bull type dog, attacked the woman's dog. This one, a chow (mix?), didn't.

 

I was thinking the same thing. I guess we're so desensitized to our breed being blamed for everything, and dogs that look nothing like ours being misidentified as such, that people just assume the dog in that pic was labeled a "pit bull". Would it have surprised you at all if they had said it was?

 

Looks like a MUTT to me

 

Its a chow cross, watch the vid and at the end it shows the dog panting and it has a purple tongue. Apparently there were 2 dogs though. The other one is a totally different kind, short hair and black and white, although they only showed its ass.

 

Any dog can have a purple tounge....labs, poodles, shepherds, etc (yes purebred).

 

Spotted tongues are pretty common, but typically only Chows, Peis, and very closely related breeds (usually Asian) have solid purple tongues as this dog did. You don't have to see the tongue of this dog to think she's got some Chow in her... previous posters prove it.

She was probably in heat and the male attacked the other dog to keep him away from his bitch. Simple as that. Any dog would've done that. *sigh* They always have to turn it into a breed thing, don't they? :rolleyes:

 

it's a Shibu
