I agree. They shouldn’t lie on an important issue like that.
I’m not convinced that all these dogs act out before an issue like this comes up.
Sometimes I think the owners are horrified when the dogs snap. Others seem to like training them to be evil, so I don’t give all owners a pass.
My son and his wife adopted what the shelter said was half weimaraner, half lab. He looked like just that. Light eyes, golden coat, long ears and a lab-shaped head.
As he grew, the head changed, and the very muscular physique showed up. It became very apparent that “lab” was not the other half.
I really believe the shelter did not know.
He is a very active dog, and seems to protect the young children that come to the house, despite the pit-bull half.
