Maybe it's easier to adopt a pharoh hound mix than a pit bull? I dunno, sometimes these shelters make you wonder. They labeled Zeus as a "mastiff mix" when I went to adopt him. Sheesh.
Maybe they read where AmStaffs are supposed to have black pigment, so they assumed the coloration must've come from a Pharaoh. Some people really believe that there is nothing outside the AKC breeds.
they only give you a front view from that view you are right he looks like a pit to me to maybe we would think different if we could se the rest of him
