I volunteer at the local shelter. In order to even put the dog on the adoption floor-they label pit bulls as lab cross, shepherd cross, etc.
My own rescued pit was identified as a boxer cross. When I took her to my vet for the first check-he looked at her shelter card and said, 'You know this is a pit bull, don't you?'. I said I certainly did and if he didn't mind putting boxer cross in the computer, so her vaccination certificates didn't say pit bull. He said, 'I'm not going to argue with the shelter, if they say boxer cross-that's good enough for me.'
So, breed restrictions are ridiculous. IMHO.
