Think you know what a pit bull looks like?
Why not test yourself…

In the meantime, leave your guesses in the comments section. I'm really curious to see what the consensus is. Try not to look at what anyone else says so that it's only your opinion that's being given. Feel free to guess what breed the other dogs are on this list, too. It's kinda fun to try and pick them out if you know your dogs well. FYI, only a couple of people have EVER passed this test. See if you can do it and be one of the very few.

D'oh, I thought the Rhodesian was it for sure. Hmm, no super-easy eliminations like a Dachsund or Newfoundland. Terrible at this...
It was the scary running-at-you-to-rip-yer-throat-into-shreds pose, wasn't it? Throws ya off everytime.
Hey look! You were FIRST commenter this time. Well done. Hip, hip, cheerio, and all that.
I'm going with #7, although they're all cute. Who pissed off #41, I wonder? He's like: "and STAY OUT!!!"
Runner: I know! And he looks like a gladiator in that get-up.
No, not scary unless you're a rabbit, just happy and running, and this one reminds me of one I knew.
I was first, yessssss!!!

All: Thanks for the guesses.
Shaun: Wow, nice effort! And thanks for bringing my numbering error to my attention. I fixed it.
7 and 17?
Im late at getting to this. I think this was a brilliant idea, because though I do consider my self extremely good at naming breeds, the pit bull is one that is easy for me to misread. A lot of the time I confuse them, with Staffies.
So which do you think it is?
I'll have to agree with Shaun and say that none of these dogs are "classically" pit bull. To get a properly conformed APBT these days (and not a back yarder bred with God only knows what), you need to go to a reputable breeder (of which there are about, oh, 2.5 in this country), wait a year or two (they're not cranking out litters for da masses, don't cha know), submit to a long qualification process, and pay a pretty penny. And then hang on as your life's fun factor suddenly becomes tuned to eleven :o).
HOWEVER, the two dawgs that match closest are #7 and #17. You can tell by the feet and the front - not overblown like the poor American Bullies, bless their low riding hearts.
And I LOVE how the Patterdales always get thrown into these tests. Talk about a "terrorist" with fur.
Good guesses! LOL at the Patties being "terrorists with fur"!
okay - here i am... sorry for the delay!
7 looks like one to me... maybe 12?
Yes.
Foxy: Good guesses!
Troll: Very cute. So, which one?
I've never been good at identifying pits. I was utterly convinced that the brindle American Bulldog was it. Alas.
I love bully breeds. Growing up, we always had boxers. People unfamiliar with the breed always thought they were pits and were scared to go near them. Which is hilarious, given that your biggest danger from a boxer is being licked to death.
For me, the "scariest" dog in your list is the Presa Canario. With the right socialization and training, they can be wonderful pets, but too many people don't know how to train them properly.
Dalmatians and Chow Chows actually tend to be two of the "worst" breeds to train. However, like with anything in life, individual personalities come into play. Some dogs, no matter WHAT the breed, are just naturally more aggressive.
Agreed on all counts, Whitney. So many AmBulls can look strikingly like pit bulls IMHO. Thanks for taking the test!
I'm guessing: All of the above, in varying degrees of authentic pit bullness.
Good guesses all. Getting ready to post the answers...
Nr. 21 ?
Either #7 Or there isn't a real pit bull anywhere.
#7 or there is no pit bull present.
im late also but im pretty sure it is either 7 17 and/or 21.!
I'm probably way off because the definitions and standards have changed so much. But...to me, the only dog who most closely resembles the "classic" Pit Bull Terrier Petey from Our Gang/The Little Rascals in the 1920's is --oddly-- #30.
4 or 7. Cute dogs, all of them.
i think number 7
Honestly I do not see an American Pit bull terrier in any of these pictures. Are you sure you know what a pit bull looks like?
