Just to point out one of the possible sources of bias in the “pit bull” attacks that one hears about in the news, please identify the breed of the following dog:
The answer will be provided on Monday.
About Steve Verdon
Steve has a B.A. in Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles and attended graduate school at The George Washington University, leaving school shortly before staring work on his dissertation when his first child was born. He works in the energy industry and prior to that worked at the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Division of Price Index and Number Research. He joined the staff at OTB in November 2004.
That, I believe, is an American Staffordshire Terrier.
To quote George Carlin, it’s definitely not a monkey.
Only one way to find out.
Throw it in the river. If it floats or swims, it’s a pit bull and must be executed. If it drowns, it must have been an unfortunate poodle or something.
Looks like a boxer. Cheers. Eric
It is a AKC registered Rumsfeld Terrier. They stop at nothing when they fight. Several have been hauled away dead with their jaw still locked onto Islamo Terriers
staffordshire bull terrier
American Bulldog?
My nextdoor neighbor’s son has a number of dogs he claimed were of that breed and had them tied up in the neighbor’s backyard while passing through on the way from Point A to Point B last year.
Looks like ’em to me.
And I believe the actual Staffordshire has a slightly more pointed muzzle.
Presa Canario ?
I don’t even care; within shooting distance of me, it would be dead.
He looks like my dog Rowdi!
uh; dachshund?…beagle?…yorkie?… well one thing is for certain it cain’t be no “pit bull”
Mutt!
It’s a boxer. You dont tend too see many white ones around because for some reason breeders put them down when they are born.
Its a Verdon Terrier
Nonsense, all nonsense.
That’s just a really ugly Shetland Pony.
I thought of that too, but a boxer’s muzzle is shorter.
I third Staffordshire bull terrier
It does look a lot like the staffordshire I know, but the head and muzzle look a bit shorter. Maybe it’s the angle of the camera. *shrug* Or maybe I’m completely wrong.
One of the few Alsatian Warthumped Terrier’s you will ever see.
