You know I'd also get a good picture of a white pit and a brown one and carry a picture of your dogs to explain the differences! Someone gave me a birthday card that had a police lineup of different breeds on it and next to the flshy fawn Boxer was a fawn/white pit. I keep it with me now when the idiots pop up. A little visual aide does wonders!
India, please, as if a picture would work

I walked into the vets office with carson and echo (in all honestly if either of my babies were to be confused with a pit it would be carson just for the fact that he's white) and an older gentleman said "ohh look sweetheart, another one of your kind" he was speaking to another persons doggie..a full bred AmStaff. This man is looking right AT the Staffy and my pups and he still thinks they are the same breed?? I cannot see how people believe Boxers and a Pit, AmStaff's etc look alike. They're faces are SO very different and are their body structures!
(and I don't want anyone to think I am Anti-Pit..I love pits and the bully breeds! And Carson and Echo have always been drawn to the bully's since they were tiny pups..they always want to play/wrestle etc w/them. In puppy Kindergarten there were 2 Pit pups and in the 2nd time they went through puppy K, there was a sweetheart of a pit pup that ec and Cars would get all excited to see walk in)
