Which Rottweilers...

Toche!

I guess the point I was trying to make was the terminology people use. For example, a German Shepherd bred in America is still a GERMAN Shepherd or a American Pit Bull Terrier bred in England is still an American Pit Bull Terrier (I hear people try to refer to them as English Pit Bulls)
Just because they are bred by BYBs in America or responsible German breeders a Rottie is still a German dog, just of different quality. If German bred Rotties are sold to an American BYB and they breed as a true BYB can, does that make the puppies American or German just because they weren't bred by German standards or does it take a couple of generations to make them American? If a responsible American breeder breeds "American" Rotties by German standards, does that now make them "German" Rotties? It really seems to all be a big name game for the sake of making more money.

I understand what you are saying.

I agree that alot of BYB's will use the "forgein blood" to their advantage. It's sad.

I know the difference, but given the ignorance of the people I'm talking to I'm sure they mean English "Pit Bull" cause that's what someone told them. I've even heard people try to tell me about Japanese Pit Bulls. There is no such thing!
