I have read that there is a ban on pitbull dogs and pit bull mixes and similiar. How strict are the rules? I have a black lab/pitbull/boxer mix. He basically looks like a more compact black lab and everyone asks me what he is mixed with and when i say pitbull they tend to say "oh yeah that is what I was thinking". So, it's kinda obvious and kinda not that he has pitbull in him. If i make something else up, would authorities still try to claim he is a pitbull? There is no way to prove what he actually is. He was a rescue dog and it's all just guessing. His mom looks like a pitbull/boxer mix.. but all her puppies came out black or chocolate, looking more like labs..so we figure his father was a lab. I could probably just claim he is a lab/boxer mix and no one would think anything of it.
