I own a Ptmatian (half dalmatian, half pitbull dog) named Opie. He is as stubborn as the hind leg of a donkey, but very loving. He has bitten both my son and me, but is very loving. He has big, brown soulful eyes and is terribly moody, but we love him. 

If you adopt a Pitmatian, be prepared for a rollerecoaster ride, but they are very loving!
