[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, obviously people have strong opinions on this.  I think with any mix breed it is hard to say exactly what breed characteristics or tendencies will be inherited from either side.  A dog that is 90% lab and 10% pit is probably more likely to act like a lab than a pit.  And the converse probably also true.  But you can breed a chihuahua and a lab and you might end up with one dog that looks mostly chihuahua, one that looks mostly lab, and one that looks truly mixed.

One thing you can probably tell from appearances is whether they inherited the pit jaw strength — so a dog that looks like a pit through the head probably has the jaw strength.  But I think it’s harder to tell whether it’s inherited other breed characteristics.  You might have a dog that is half beagle that doesn’t look much like a beagle but still is obsessed with following its nose.

Personally, I would not get one that looks pit, or that same from a known parent that looked pit, or one that I knew to be genetically more than half pit.  But people obviously differ a lot on this.  [/quote]

At least you realize that not everyone is you.[/quote]
