mate i think you should take the time to read what i am saying
i never said anything about ignoring laws ect in victoria its not illegal to own a pit bull just illegal to breed them wihtout being registered to do so
i think in your own mind a pit bull is part of a tough guy image i got the dog becaus ei liked the look of the breed-
Errr, no. That's not how it works at all.
Some of you have a very poor grasp on BSL, it's implications for owners who own dogs which resemble pitbulls and what the laws actually entail.
Papered Amstaff instead? Why not buy a papered Pitbull
You can not buy a papered pitbull in Australia. They're not a recognised breed.
Midol i think youre a little bit small minded and maybe need to keep your stupid opinons to your self cos all Den wants is a little info about buying pitties or somthing and you tell him that he should be shot,have his toe smacked with a hammer,and then acuse him off trying to be tough.Maybe just maybe Den wants a mad looking loyal dog that sticks by his side like i have,i mean come on mate fair go.Den if its possible for you or your mate to get a pittie then go for it cos their a mad dog,cheers.
If he wants a dog that faces the very real risk of being put to sleep then go ahead. It's irresponsible for anyone to obtain a banned dog, especially one that's declared dangerous.
If he does get one he must comply with the dangerous dog legislation which requires a full enclosed run fully concreated & muzzled at all times when out of it's pen, including in your hard & the house.
Just go and get a a pitty & register it as an amstaff or bullmastiff cross, dont worry what Midol said, hes off his head, i agree with the others opinions, a dogs a dog.
That won't help. Plenty of people have had their dogs seized and destroyed regardless of what they register them as.
Currently, the only way to prevent your dog being destroyed is to prove it is not a pitbull. This is done either via dna testing (testing the parents) and the alternative is to supply ANKC registration papers proving it is not a pitbull, but if it is a pitbull you won't be able to do this.
Buying a backyard bred dog which resembles a pitbull is putting the dogs life in danger and I can't think of a reason why someone would do this, other than being irresponsible, especially when an Amstaff is basically the same thing but not banned and has papers... Again, the only reason is "pitbull" sounds tougher. Other than that give me a single valid reason for getting a BYB "pitty" over an Amstaff...
