What is my Corgi Mutt??? Should I be mad?!?

I got a corgi mix from a rescue and they told me he was a corgi/chihuahua mix. I doubted it, and I don't care much either way. They just said he was going to stay small and not grow too much. He was really sick when I got him, and you could see his ribs and his hip bones, he only weighed 10.4 pounds. The rescue only had him a few days when I came to pick him up. Well after having him for 2 weeks, he had gained 5 POUNDS! He was a fat little boy and full of energy. No parasites, no limp, just happy. He has to be close to 20 pounds now that we have had him a month. I don't care that the rescue might have been off about his mix or his size, I love him. But someone made a face because they assumed he was mixed with a pitbull. He is brindle but his mom was a cardigan. They didn't believe me that corgi's could come in those colors and would not tolerate my dog at the dog park. Am I wrong to be angry with them. He is an angel, even if we was part pit he is wonderful, and I think he is still too small to be a pit mix, he just looks like a corgi with long legs. What do you think?

I don't see pit in there at all. Most people think pits have stand up ears, they don't. They have to be cropped to make them stand and that's usually only done to make them appear mean or for fighting. If your puppy is 4 months old and he's ears are up whatever breeds are in there have naturally occurring stand up ears. Other breeds that also come in brindle are greyhounds, Irish Wolfhounds, bulldogs, boxers, malinois and the only one of those breeds with stand up ears is the malinois.

Was it only that one person who thought that? Then it's her problem not yours. Don't let anyone pull that kind of crap with you.

Frankly pitbulls are very misunderstood..they are very loving, loyal dogs and good with kids. It's the in-breeding and bad humans that make them the vicious dogs that they are portrayed to be. I'd rather approach a big dog then a little one any day.
