with all the insurance problems, breed bans etc. how do vets deal with the government/insurance co's/landlords asking them to sign off that a mixed dog has no pit, rottie etc in it?
I know it's very individual but do people on here know vets who either:
A) Use their discretion, if they think the dog is not dangerous or has very minimal x breed lineage and just sign even though they think the dog COULD have x in it?
B) Refuse to sign even though they know the dog isn't dangerous because it could be like 1/20th pittie, rottie etc?
Just curious as the question with the staffie mix not being a 'pitbull' mix a few ?'s back.
Curious because if it ever came down to it- could I find a vet to sign saying my 21lb beagle mix has no rottie in it despite the colours etc? All this stuff is soo crazy. I hate that vets are being put in this position (lie or the dog may die, have to be muzzled the rest of it's life etc).
