a court worker has told me to find full breed of him and if his cross(as i know he has bulldog in him) i may be protected by the law:)
sorry but you wont be- pit bull type means just that, any dog that is of pit bull origins.
unfortunately when the law came out, some genuine crosses( 1 that was labxdane springs to mind) with no kind of any bull terrier in their parentage were unfortunately euthanased.
one of my friends had two beautiful staffordshire bull terriers, these were both pedigrees,& she had the Pedigree papers, but because they are long legged & bigger than the sort normally seen in this part of the country she had problems & eventually just walked them muzzled to be on the safe side.
The act bans the breeding and sale or exchange of four kinds of dog - pit bull terriers, Japanese Tosas, the Dogo Argentinos, and the Fila Brasileiros. Cross-breeds of those dogs are covered by the law.
that is all whats on bbc news, i do muzzle him as i think it controls him walking and trying to chew chicken bones i cant argue the fact that he shouldnt be muzzled or on a lead cause any dog should be muzzled and on lead around kids in public places
people around my area (they fight dogs) thought my dog was a long legged staff(i didnt know they had them) in the dark only in the light and summer you see his red nose which can class him as a red nose pitt bull
