Let's talk "Breed-Bias."
Sweet Irina was listed as a Shepherd/ Husky mix a month ago and quickly adopted at 4-months old. Fast forward a month and Irina was just returned. By all accounts she was said to be "perfect." Irina is smart,well behaved, and a great puppy. Why was she returned? Because her adopter had a DNA test done and found out she had some pitbull in her lineage. Same great puppy, now with a bias.
