question about camping with a pittbull
The wife and I just bought a camper and want to get back into camping. This time around we have two dogs. Both are rescue "mutts" and one is part Pitt. First campground I called to make a reservation ...

Old-biscuit, I agree to an extent. When my sibling bought her house, the insurance company asked about her dog. She said it was a "shepherd mix" which it was (and the shepherd was the only distinctive breed). They were not happy and asked "what is the other breed". My sibling told them she didn't know. They insisted that she identify the "second breed".
They would not accept "mix" in the identification, but also only wanted two breeds identified. Very few mixed breeds are half and half. Most have three or more breeds. And it is not always possible to know what those breeds are. My sibling ended up picking a second breed at random because the insurance was insistent on that second breed.
This makes it very difficult to be honest. Honest would be the "shepherd mix". Insisting on a second (and only second) breed is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. More than likely it won't work.
My Moose-dog was identified as a shepherd rottie as a puppy. When he grew up, he was "obviously" a shepherd Dobie. Had him tested and he is a shepherd poodle newfie. Without a test, he would have been misidentified as a "dangerous" dog by looks.
