OK, now this has really got me a but upset about Labradors getting mixed with pit bulls. I have inserted a pic of a black Labrador alongside a black pit bull of the same age- now you tell me the difference.
Also pit bulls tend to be much more stout, and have very good muscle tone in comparison to a Lab.
Also a pit bull has shorter, less floppy ears. A Labs muzzle is longer than that of a pit bull.
Also a Labrador a much friendler towards other dogs than a pit bull. A pit bull tends to be dog aggressive by nature unless otherwise trained.
Please never confuse a Labrador Retriever to that of a Pit Bull. If you know your breeds you can tell them apart.

Also I don't agree with your comments about the nature of the pitbull. Pitbulls are dominant by nature aggression is not a trait but rather a response to stimulus. Pits are only aggressive if that is how they have been taught or encourage to respond that way. My male Sal (who is entact) has been bitten and still not responded aggressively. He stole a tennis ball from a golden at the dog part and was bitten and he just thought it was part of the keep away game.....On the other had I have seen Labs at the dog park attack other dogs for no reason. I am not slamming Labs, my brother has one and it is a great dog, I am just saying dogs are Individuals and are products of how they are raised.
Why are you sooooo upset that Labs might be mistaken for a pitbull? It is a silly mistake but why does it upset you? Are you afraid as a Lab owner you might face some of the mindless prejudice that many of us Pitbull and Amstaff owners face? Pitbulls are wonderful and noble dogs, be happy if some uneducated (to dogs anyway) person makes the mistake.
