Here we go! Here are the answers. Based on the UF College of Veterinary Medicine Dog Breed Identification survey: What kind of dog is that?

http://sheltermedicine.vetmed.ufl.edu/library/research-studies/current-studies/dog-breeds/

We conducted a national survey of dog experts to compare their best guesses for the breeds of dogs in a series of photographs. These visual assessments were compared to DNA breed profiles for the dogs.

More than 5,000 dog experts, including breeders, trainers, groomers, veterinarians, shelter staff, rescuers, and others completed the survey.

Remember this anytime you see a news report of a "Pit Bull" biting someone. Trying to identify a dog's breed visually is little better than flipping a coin. The professionals in this survey got 43/100 wrong.

And also remember that the Humane Society of the United States, the American Veterinary Association, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Kennel Club, the American Bar Association, and the National Canine Research Council - In short, precisely ALL of the people who know the relevant law, medicine & canine behavior – they ALL are opposed to breed specific legislation and breed bans. Anyone who tries to say different is lying to you.
