[quote=Anonymous]Back to the original thread, probably most dogs at shelters have some pit in their background. This as I understand it is a result of accidental pregnancies or backyard breeding, but the latter is rarely for fighting. It's more people want puppies and then they realize they can't sell them or give them away or they have to care for them and don't want vet bills. (Or as previously mentioned, irresponsible accidental pregnancies because people don't spay and neuter).

So how should shelters determine which dogs to euthanize, as one PP recommended. Do Wisdom panel on every single shelter dog, and if a dog has, what 1% Pitbull or more, then euthanize? 2%? Who is going to pay for all these tests? Just euthanize all shelter dogs to be safe? Do you just do it by looks? Then you might miss a dog that looks like a lab but is really 1/2 pit. Where does it end?

Do you also put down Dobermans mixes because they look scary and were bred to be guard dogs? Where does it end?

I get what everyone is saying. Being bitten by a teacup poodle is not the same as being bitten by a Cane Corso or Rottweiler. Or Pit. But I don't think it is as easy as, "Exterminate all the pits."[/quote]
