Yet another example of mistaken breed identification due to VISUAL identification by an expert. Its disgusting that this public official purposely went out of his way in order to cause trouble for the dog owner by labeling the dog so that it would be deemed a vicious dog. When it comes to pit bulls... its Guilty Til Proven Innocent!!! toledoblade/Courts/2014/04/16/Court-case-against-Swanton-dog-owner-dismissed.html SWANTON -- A Fulton County Eastern District Court judge today dismissed a case against a Swanton man charged with failing to register a dog deemed vicious under the villages code because it was labeled a pit bull-type dog. Fulton County Dog Warden Brian Banister visited Tim Bork’s home on June 13, and told him after a visual inspection that Bailey was likely a Brazilian mastiff mix, also known as a Fila Brasileiro, and he considered her to be a “pit bull”-type dog. Mr. Bannister later decided not to register the dog as the Fila Brasileiro is not among the specific breeds listed in the villages ordinance. A DNA test of Bailey commissioned by The Blade showed she is a mix of American bulldog, Rottweiler, American Staffordshire terrier, black and tan coonhound, Coton de Tulear, bull terrier, Neapolitan mastiff, and miniature pinscher. She is less than 50 percent “pit bull,” which is the standard that past Ohio court cases have used in determining whether a dog is a “pit bull”-type.
