just a quick question!
We own an English Staff who i know for a fact ppl have "thought" was a pit bull until they actually came and asked what he wasanyway my question is what happens to us owners who have an English or AmStaff? (or any other terrier line that is similar to the pit bull). If they are reported or suspected of being pit bull etc then obviously the onus falls on us to prove our dog is not a Pit Bull, so just wanted to know how do we do that, is it only through DNA testing? - should add that our staffy was purchased from a registered english staff breeder so we do have his breed papers showing blood lines etc so we do know what dog we have. my query was more from the pov that most ppl don't even know what a pb looks like (as proven in this thread) so the whole thing encouraging "dob in a pit or 'suspected' pit" was why i asked.
ETA: and yes he is registered and has been since we got him 7yrs ago- along with our Chihuahua! (yes, weird match but they adore each other and have grown up together)
