The ticking is the tell.

Pits have *spots* and “freckles* on their muzzles, sometimes *but* ticking is inherent to certain classes of dogs, hounds being one, terriers, another, and Blue Heeler/Australian Cattle Dogs.

A lot of Ibizan Hounds are loaded with ticking, alongside their spots.

Although Pit Bulls are called “terriers”, they are more of Mastiff type dogs.

I do not see Dane in that dog.

I said what I saw and it got deleted.

Ticking is a dominant genetic trait.
