Yeah..about that...those are called "lab-mix" on the paperwork and our local no kill shelter has 100% same occupancy at times. Sad.
My puggle dog was almost mauled when he went up to greet a neighbor walking by on the sidewalk.
He was absolutely terrified of that breed for quite a while as was I.
I'd had to re-route him or he would probably get into a bloody fight which he would lose.
Some of the collies at the park were actually the most obtusely aggressive towards a fence or new pack.
I've seen many pits that are 'normally socialized' and absolute sweethearts with the face kisses.
Most will head-down-wag-tail greet all the other dogs, and break focus away if the other dogs start getting aggressive.
Only a few would get 'that focused look' and then it's definitely time to stop for the day.
They won't stop at a warning nip.
The dog which ever terrified me most was a Jack Russell believe it or not. It was satan spawn.
