Seeing as there are various bans still undergoing over BullDog/Pit types, or Bully looking breeds, would you think it’s okay to adopt one either way? I was originally planning on adopting an American Pitbull Terrier from the shelter, but with a bad rep on them I wasn’t sure if he’d potentially be euthanized / killed because he’s apparently ‘scary looking’ and could maul someone; even though any breed could do that if they’re not treated properly with care.

I’m thinking about buying a Pembroke welsh corgi and I’m wondering what your opinion is on cutting the tail if they’re born with a long one? I didn’t know they did that until the kennel I’m talking to told me.

What kind of dog is the one you just reblogged? The black one with the white chest? I know a shelter dog of uncertain breed who looks just like that and we’ve been trying to figure out what she is for ages!
