As my puppy search continues, I've been perusing various humane society and rescue group websites. There are certain breeds (pits, rotts) that I'm not interested in at all, and I'm worried about how these groups label their pets in order to move them easier.
So my basic question(s) is this: what are the rules for such labels? Do these groups try to err on the side of adoptability when calculating and advertising breeds? And if so, what are the typical substitutions just so I can be aware?
Here's an example: http://www.bvhumane.org/listman/listings/images/21_1.jpg
Not just interested in this wee one (more the general practice), but she's advertised as a lab/chow mix.
What do you think?
Thanks, in advance, for your consideration.
