My dog was listed as a german shepherd/red heeler mix... That should give you some ideo of the high level of breed knowledge posessed by most shelter workers.

They were not competent enough to NOT send a pitbull home to a family with four little kids. I about had a heart attack when I figured out what he really was.

I used to have a girlfriend who wore jeans with a 38” inseam.

Looks like a Catahoula mix.

I don't understand how they thought the German Shepherd would fly but I can certainly see the Red Heeler.

Hubby and I raised Queensland Heelers years ago- in fact hubby had one of the first red females I ever saw. Your dog is indeed part Queensland, I can’t tell what the cross is, but I don’t see Pit in your dog.

What gave you the idea that your dog is a Pit? I see a fat red heeler cross. BTW we had some heelers that were agressive in nature so it is good to keep up your guard. We had a female that I did not trust for an instant around cats, small dogs, or children. We didn’t have children or small pets yet or I would not have had her. I had a blue male that was the sweetest thing on earth and loved everybody and everything. I raised him from a puppy and we got the female after she was mistreated as a pup so it does make a difference.

I agree that most shelter workers cannot identify a dog breed any better than the average person- but I think they got the heeler part right on your dog.
