IMO - people are ignorant about the ears - they think only a cropped boxer is a boxer. Both dogs are athletic and strong looking with boxy muzzles. I really think it's the natural ears that throws them though...

Great letter! So far, I have not encountered the uneducated person thinking that Maggie is a pit, however, when I do have one of these encounters, I will remember your letter and attempt to educate the uneducated. Many thanks...

I too agree...Great letter. I'm just sorry you had to have the experience to prompt it. I have not that situation occur yet. Emma is a small girl and w/ natural ears, not in the least intimidating.

I also do not understand how people can mistake a pit for a Boxer. Pits are ugly! Sorry to all of you Pit owners, just my opinion.

Sharon, I hope you see this woman again and have the opportunity to call the police and have her arrested for 'ignorance'. HAHA
