garjo Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 As per title. Looking for advice about these dogs. We have had problems with these dogs off lead charging and running up to other dogs. I've never heard about these dogs until recently, are they legal? It's just a matter of time before they attack another dog. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Only because they are allowed to by complete idiot owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Have you tried the old “Jonny Wilkinson” cure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garjo Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 It's getting to the point where some dog owners will not walk their dogs in these areas for fear of their dog being attacked. It's a real shame for those owners who are older and more vulnerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samboy Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 My mate has got a pocket bully no trouble at all. A young lad near me has got an xl bully and is one of the fiercest looking things i have ever seen. That also is very well behaved. As said it all depends who owns them and how you bring them up.

bigbird Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 They’re an illegal breed in the U.K., yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Seeing a lot of them about and all the ones seen have cropped ears, obviously done illegally. Looking at them they don’t look fit for any sort of function. Just another sad fashion statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 The legality of them is a grey area, if it's truly been crossed with a American pit bull terrier then yes it'd be illegal. Alot of people cross them with Staffordshire bulls or other cross breeds which give them an APT look in which case they'd possibly be legal, each dog however would be assessed by an expert on their individual characteristics to decide if it was in fact illegal. Even if it was deemed a banned breed, the dog would be assessed and if deemed safe, the owner would have to register it, have it neutered or spayed, gain specialist insurance and have it muzzled in a public place. Breed specific legislation really is a waste of time, it's the idiots who own dangerous dogs that need controlling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
