- sn_master 6y agoIf you bring any group of people and show them a variation of dogs and ask which ones are "pit bull", 95%+ of them will agree on the same dogs. Just because its multiple breeds doesn't make it an "incoherent concept". DNA tests exist for dogs now, same like humans, and can unambiguously find if a dog is a pitbull mix.
