Thread: Do you own a Pit Bull?

Warning - 22 Point Test Causes Idiots To Think They're Dog Experts
Does your dog have a medium sized head, short coat, and wide open nostrils? Oh no! You could be living with a killer!

Save the council the trouble by taking the '22 point Pit Bull-type' dog challenge today!

The 22 point checklist always made me laugh.All those with dogs that fit the description raise your hand.How many cross bred pig dogs and others fit it?The fact that they adopted something put up by someone with nothing more than a year 10 education is astounding to say the least.I guess they never figured that anyone would challenge them.Wrong.

Nice story Steve and I dont wont to be harsh or use the S word but why would he bother?If he had amstaff papers.Not that it matters as you dont need papers to bring a dog in anyway.Why would you highlight it?To me that is just plain stupid.To waste $50 000 that he didnt need to.The blood tests take about 3 or 4 weeks and quarantine 4 weeks.He could have had his dogs sitting on the couch 2 months later and $50 000 richer if he said nothing.Its ok to be right but some times better to be quiet.Now they know he will be in for more harassment that you can count on.people have known for a long time th loophole that exists via tha amstaff and even if they changed existing quarantine to make it mandatory to supply DNA and registration papers with microchip it is still able to be exploited.
I have had several discussions with politicians here over the issue and have bluntly put it to them that they can round up every pitbull in this country and Euthanase them and within 2 months I will have another pair here.Only they will have nice amstaff papers and there will be nothing they can do about it and I will take them to the Canine association that sold us out in my state and show them as Amstaffs and they wont be able to do anything about it either and i will do so out of sheer spite.

I dont see the law changing here anytime soon,in fact I predict a few more states will follow before anything changes.The problem is politicians dont need to nor do they research everything before they pass a law.Its about media headlines,emotions and winning votes at the next election.Not about whats morally right.Until they put emphasis on the dog owners responsibility nothing will ever change in this country and to an extent I agree.Not everyone should be just allowed to own any breed of dog and in a perfect world and ethical breeder wouldnt sell to just anyone but we know that is not the case.As much as I am a staunch supporter of the pitbull and always will be they are not the breed of dog for just anyone and its too easy for someon to get rid of the problem and absolve themselves of all responsibility and move on to the next breed,when it is them who is the problem not the dog.bottom line is it is always easier to legislate against those that cant speak thatn it is against stupidity and those that can and politicians will always take the easy way out.I still do not agre with the principles of BSL and will always do what I can to fight it but I dont know what the solution for this country is nor do I just beleive everything should be repealed in the blink of an eye including importation.The problems they face in the US are becasue they have sat on their hands for too long and things are out of control and they feel blanket bans are their only option instead of enforcing current laws and putting money where it would have counted.Thats why politicians always use the US as an example and it is a bad one.The only thing they are an example of is extremism.
