Webbed feet

Should my 10 week old red nose pit bull have webbed feet?

Hi Robin

If you took a poll of pit bull owners, some would tell you their dog has webbed feet. Others would tell you the opposite.

As far as I can tell, this could go either way. And, it really doesn't matter as far as the pit bull breed standard is concerned.

I recently had a question from someone who works in a pet store in a country where pit bulls are not allowed. Her boss was under the impression that one way to tell a pit bull from an Amstaff was that pit bulls always have webbed feet and Amstaffs never do. But this just isn't the case. Here's the article in question.

Hope this helps.
