The Press Club of Cleveland -- Ohio Excellence in Journalism Awards

2013 - Feature

Dogs are often labeled as "pit bulls" by shelters and the too-easy designation has a stigma attached. The Blade purchased the DNA-gathering kits from the Mars Veterinary company and conducted the tests on six dogs that were originally labeled as "pit bulls" by the Lucas County dog warden. The test consists of two swabs with wire bristles that are scraped on the inside of the dog's cheek to remove skin cells. The swabs were placed in protective plastic casings and mailed to the laboratory for analysis, which took three to four weeks. Only one of the six tested dogs was predominantly American Staffordshire terrier and Staffordshire bull terrier, the two recognized breeds labeled as "pit bulls." Two others had some "pit," and three dogs had no "pit bull" breed in them at all.
