RVing w/ Pit Bulls
Howdy, anyone experience any trouble taking pit bulls along? Found a beautiful pit mix I would like to adopt...

For those with rescue dogs that may or may not be pits, I recommend getting DNA testing through DNA My Dog. They actually do not include "pit bull" as a breed because it's not accurate. Instead, they identify breeds like staffordshire, boxer, bulldog, bull terrier, etc.
With that DNA test results, you can show it as proof that your dog is not a "pit bull".
Also, most insurance companies, etc., require you to identify 2 breeds for your mix - regardless of how many breeds are actually involved. They will not accept shepherd mix but they will accept shepherd/lab. With the DNA results, you can use two of the breeds to identify your dog and ignore the rest.
Growing up, I had a pure bred boxer. She was a very "poor" physical representation (white, squat, etc.). I cannot tell you how many times people accused her of being a pit bull. She's the only dog I ever trusted completely in any situation. I wish DNA testing was around then.
