Yeah. I don’t see why the government has the authority to take other people’s animals because they *could* be dangerous. Unless a specific animal has proved itself to be harmful to other people or their property, the government should not have the ability to take away an animal. As to why some people on the site are encouraging such an overreach, I don’t know. Their hatred of the breed obviously overrides reason. It’s the same thing as with guns. People have “violent” dogs for not only companionship, but for protection. How do they decide what constitutes as a “Pitbull” or “Doberman,” anyways?. 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.
