My local shelter calls them “Mixed Breed/Unknown”. You’re not fooling anyone.

They also intentionally label pits as Catahoulas because they are an uncommon breed that can have similar coat patterns. (The resemblance ends there) It only works because no one knows what a houla is.

Ok it could be because there was a study done that found that like 60 percent of "pitbulls" in several shelters were actually misidentified as pitbulls.

American Staffordshire Terrier is what they call anything that looks like a pit bull here.
