Oh I know. I also know that it’s popular to call everything a lab mix if it looks like it might have any pitbull in it. Improves the chance of adoption.
I’m not anti-pit, by the way. I just know that you can’t trust what the shelters say.
I have a dog who is definitely part pit. She is absolutely sweet and loving. To us. She hates most other people, especially men. She’s never attacked anyone, but we’ve also made sure never to let her. She has killed pretty much every type of small animal she can get to in the yard though- squirrels, rabbits, moles, opossums… we were ready for that, but you have to be ready for it for sure.
I wouldn’t give her up for anything, but we made sure she was the dog for us before we took her home.
It’s funny, the shelter near me just says “staffordshire mix” on most dogs, which is kind of the opposite of what I’ve heard shelters do, like you said.

Lucky you have an unusually honest one.
