Are you surprised?
For many people a “pit bull” is any large dog with a block-like head, prominent jaws and muscular physique. Others may associate the breed with cropped ears, brindle coat coloring or the proverbial patch over one eye. As you can see, there are so many dogs that fit these characteristics.
Is it any surprise then that so many aggressive dogs are misidentified as “pit bulls”? It is more common than most people are aware of for a news organization to run a “pit bull” attack story, only to find out later that it was not a “pit bull” involved at all, but some other breed altogether. Story retractions are rare so the public is none the wiser. We continue to believe that pit bull attacks are numerous, which further fuels our fear of the breed.
So now the question arises... after having taken this picture test would you now trust yourself to correctly identify a “pit bull”? Small dogs, big dogs, mutts, Rottweilers, even Labrador Retrievers have mistakenly been described as “pit bulls” by witnesses to dog attacks.

Well, okay then...
Just what does a pit bull look like?

Until then, gaze upon the cutest pibble there ever was: Snuggles.
Fun fact: My 50-pound pit bull has actually been mistaken for a Jack Russell Terrier. He's also been mistaken for a Boxer, a Dalmation, a Bull Terrier, (like Spuds McKenzie and the "Target Dog") and a cow.

Awww man... a trick test.
It was fun anyway trying to guess.
I was around a pit bull named Gunnar for half a year and he was a very sweet (and sometimes jealous around his owner girl) dog, lol.
Yeah, that was cool. #7 is the only one that looked like one to me. The pit bulls that I have known personally have all been very sweet lovable dogs. I was a rottweiler owner for years and I always heard bad things about the breed, that were just not true. There are dogs with issues from every breed, but the media gets ahold of it, and blows it all out of shape. So, good for you for doing this post!
dang! A trick question! I could have sworn #7 was a pit bull. lol. I have no pit bull bias, myself. Rest assured. The attitude of the dog has everything to do with its owners!
Oh, man. I guessed all of the above, but my second choice was the exact list you posted. Really....
Eric: They are the BEST dogs!
O/O: #7 looks so close to me, too. Rotties are AWESOME, too!
Runner: Thanks for saying so. You are more educated than a lot of folks.
Jeff: HAHAHAHA. Sure it was!
Nice test, Anyway I didn't passed it as I thought nr. 7 is a pitbull.
Shame on me. ;)
I breed American Bulldogs and I can't imagine by which standard is that considered to be one. As I see from the picture he has way to little white and none on the head.
I am so curious what is that dog's name and from which lines is he.
Oh, and I know for sure that there is not such thing as blue ambull.
Anyway, nice job, you gave me a nice idea for a poster I'm working at.
Tnx.
Pr. Dan: I was shocked that he was an AmBull at first, too. The rednosed coloring, the cropped ears, the facial structure...
But I found the picture on a breeder's site where they called him a rare "red/blue", whatever that means. Now that I've tried to find the site again, I can't! Figures. However, here's a link to a YouTube AmBull star who is rednosed with cropped ears and the owner swears up and down he's an AmBull and not a pittie. See what you think:

Whatever Redbull is, he's adorable!
You're right! If you ask me all dogs are adorable.
Anyway, I know many people want to avoid the bad fame of owning a pitbull, so they try hard to say and to believe they own somthing else. But I have 2 problems with that: 1st - there is nothing wrong with pitbulls as a breed; 2nd - they should fight against BSL and bad fame.
Any American Bulldog standard states they should have at least 20% white and the head without white is considered to give away terrier blood.
I'm trying to find the lines behind those rednose dogs because I track the changes in the breed.
Your test is a good manifest agaist BSL.
#7 is for sure no AB. Maybe not pure breed pit, but sure looks like the standards of a APBT.
Nice quiz though!
no #7 is a mix breed cause i have the same exact dog and my dad owns the parents the mom was ab and the dad was red nose pit
no #7 is a bully pit a mix between ab and apbt i have the same kind of dog. my dad owns the parents the dad is red nose american pit the mom is american bulldog
Thanks for posting this. I picked 26, knowing it was a Bull Terrier (and man, what a cutie!).
I found you via my sister's partner's group on FB: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=140819742603451&v (it's a response to Dogsbite.com that claims all pitbulls do is bite).
Snuggles is ADORABLE!!!! Does his ear ALWAYS stick out? CUTE!
You got me!! I thought #7 was surely a cutie-pie pit. Terrific quiz, very informative and fun.
