Can YOU spot the pitbull?!

It's #16. 

I don't need three guesses.

Yup.

You're not going to get a good result feed from a dog board... you'd be better off surveying your class - or even the teachers. Get your government officials to take the test- or - for a real kicker - have your county ACO's take it.

How about asking us what the OTHER dogs are?  I know a good portion of them just off the top of my head.  BTW, I agree with the others: #16.  However, I have owned bull breeds since 1982!

 #16 was my first guess, just by process of elimination

 So why is it not 3 or 22?  16, 3 and 22 were my guesses.  Those 3 dogs look a lot alike to me but it's hard to tell from a picture what the differences are.  So I'm asking the pro's what they are so I can educate myself further.

3 is an Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog.  The only reason that I know is that we have a pair that train at our club.  They are more substantial than pits are supposed to be.  The one in the picture isn't what I'd call a great example of the breed.

I have no clue what 22 is.  It's too big, imo, to be a true pit.

IMO, all of the pics are somewhat misleading.  It looks like the person who chose the pics intentionally picked dogs who weren't great examples of their breeds & used pics with poorly positioned dogs, in order to, hopefully, throw people off. 

 Here's the answers

 I'm not sure you guys are being fair.  We do have lurkers and newbies that may not have known the answer.  And this test has a good point.  The OP may be preaching to the choir here, but she's got the idea right, even if we got there before she got here...

 right- but the lurkers aren't going to take the test and give her the survey results the OP needs.

hence - why I suggested surveying people in real life. I'm a sucker for stirring the pot- which is why I'd march right down to animal control and the government offices to see if these people know what they are banning (which I can tell you right now, they can't)

 #16. I didn't need 3 guesses either.

Wasn't the point to PROVE that not all dogs people think are pitt bulls are actually pitt bulls...? And the people who would be making those decisions and labeling the dogs aren't necerssarily qualified to do so.....

Kind of like going into an airport with say a staffie.. and having someone tell you the dog can't fly because it's a pitt? When it's not a pitt at all? I've even seen a doberman mix that was labeled a pitt... and my brother rescued a full bred boxer  who was taken into custody along with his mom and dad before his tail was docked. He's had people argue him down that it's a pitt because it has a long tail....

Of course I also have seen someone call a black and tan coonhound a doberman with a tail and long ears, that was a bright neighbor... and malinios' german shepherds.... and a black and tan bassett hound a standard dachshund.... and a mutt a carolina dog.... I could just keep going on and on and on....

Just proves the point even better.... in my opinion.

I asked an ACO from Boston to take the test and she refused.  That says something, now doesn't it?  To the OP, this test has been around for a while and I know the answers, so not fair for me to answer your request.  But, I think the suggestion that you ask ACO's is really a good one, and you may want to try asking a few mayors or city councilors, too, since they generally support the ACOs' recommendations.
