I gather you are missing the /s tag.
Other articles state PBT (could still be mixed, but one might see PBT).
Unless I see a decent picture of the animal, I don’t take what a reporter says as fact regarding breed - any breed (or much else). For several reasons.
I know for a fact, having seen instances of it, where the reporter is never told the breed by officials, never sees the dog and still claims the dog is a certain breed (obviously a pit - if they don’t know the breed it is always a pit).
Also, these reporters are none too bright.
Sorry, I’ve seen little evidence that these so called journalists would know a Great Dane if it sat on their respective faces.
I am still amazed at how many here hate the dogs so much that they take the word of a reporter they would never trust on anything as the gospel on this subject alone. Or see a picture of a poodle & still go off on Pits. Get a grip.
Eerily reminiscent of TDS. Oh well. Now I will get flamed just for not trusting journalists who lie for a living. How stupid could I be?
