“Are they adopting Nazi methods of determining “breeds”? If an animal is only half Doberman or Pitbull, does that make it equivalent to a “full” bred animal?”
Yes and very few people are capable of truly assessing a dog’s actual breed[s].
Most lab mixes are mistaken for Pits, as are other broad-skulled breeds.
I have seen things claimed as “Dobermann mix” that were absolutely laughable.
They are not the only black and tan dog on earth.

I just saw a lady who was at least in her 70s with a boxer in her car at Safeway today
Cool...:)
This was the first “black” Boxer I’ve ever seen.
Technically, it was a reverse brindle because Boxers lack the gene for the color black but she was *gorgeous*.
Her person was messing with leaves in the yard and she was standing nearby, in a perfect show stack.
Great conformation.
Very elegant girl.
I might stop in one day an talk dogs with him.
Imagine how you’d feel if you knew your poor, loving, loyal dog was -ill- and you killed him for it.
I cannot imagine a bigger betrayal than that.
Listen to this song then go cry your guts out.

The first dog you picked was American Pit Bull Terrier. It took you 0 seconds, and 1 attempt to find the Pit.
;^)
That is derived from extremely old, universal legends.

You should hire yourself out to shelters.
Think of all the dogs you could save.
:)
Did I claim it was true? It's just a song. And I don't give snopes any traffic, ever.
I was not implying anything bad.
I just thought you might enjoy the history behind it.
I first read it as a Welsh legend.
Snopes may suck but they had the best list of all legends involving that, sometimes it was not even a dog and wolf.
Unfortunately, I cannot copy and paste the list of variants from Snopes so you don’t have to go there to read it.
It is really a fascinating and powerful universal tale.
Some things need to be banned.
Comparing firearms and dogs is quite a stretch.
I will support a ban on AR-15s when they begin to run amok and attack people unprovoked.
If your normally docile AR-15 suddenly jumped up and shot itself at your 3 year old nephew, wouldn’t you get rid of it?
>>> We have one of those little yappers. Best burglar alarm there is. Damned thing has taught the bird to bark too. You get both of them going at the same time, and you can’t hear yourself think.
LOL! Please post video of that, if you have it!
Years ago, one coworker dropped by the home of another, a fellow who lived out in the country. The visitor let himself into the house. He got the heebie jeebies, tho, when his attempts to hail his friend were met only with a voice calling out “I love you” from the direction of one room. He up and left.
The disembodied voice turned out to be that of the family’s parakeet.
It’s really not so much of a bark, but a squawk. Every time the dog barks though, you get a squawk along with it, at the top of it’s little lungs. Annoying, but effective.
Are you saying your woman wants to live there? I can think of a lot of things rather than living in that awful neighborhood. How about selling both of your houses and finding another neighborhood closer to your job? I’d be looking today.
That is for certain.

It's not the neighborhood. The neighborhood is decent enough. It's the surrounding neighborhoods and the city itself.
There are advantages and disadvantages to living in most any large city. Employment opportunity is the big advantage here. What's more, the jobs tend to pay more and the cost of living is actually less here than in the small town where my country house is located. The criminal element is the disadvantage. It's just something you deal with. All the wheels have lock nuts. The yard is surrounded by a six foot chain link fence with a Doberman Pinscher patrolling. I am always packing when I am out and about and my head is always on a swivel. We have implemented a few other security measures as well that I won't even go into.

Someday we will definitely do that but for now, we have dug in and will make the most of this situation and then leave on our terms. It's looking a lot like Colorado or Arizona.
