    There should be a parallel kennel show where only mutts and strays are allowed to enter. They should have categories to dunk on “pure”-breeds, like lowest vet bill or dogs over 14yo.

        When I was 18, I lived in an apartment building like 1/4 from the sand in Virginia Beach. They had restrictions on their restrictions so they could restrict you while you were restricted. It was insane.

        My neighbor directly above us had the sweetest pit bull mix in the world named Lola. He used to call her his showgirl, she was amazing.

        He got away with it by showing them papers, that he 100% forged, saying she was a pure blooded Staffing Nannyshire terrier. He was so fucking pleased with himself, and I do not blame him. In case anyone isn’t aware, Staffordshire terriers are a related breed to pit bulls (and pit bull is more of an umbrella term for several breeds), and pittys were called nanny dogs back in the day. He just threw some related words together and claimed her breed was originally bred as show dogs, and weren’t closely related to pit bulls. And the apartment bought it hook line and sinker.

          Our rescue was a “lab/beagle” on paper, but yeah she’s definitely got some American Staffordshire Terrier. Our HoA is very dog friendly and she’s a favorite around the neighborhood. If you adopt a mutt in the US they’re going to have at least some kind of pittie in the mix.
