Oh thats good news Tilly, thats place has been too tiny for too long, they do a brilliant job there but it must be so hard with such limitations. That siezed staffie/poss pitbull was gorgeous and seemed lovely too, what will happen if its found to be a pitbull? DOes it have to be destroyed? I hope all the dogs there find good homes, I saw today that the little terrier cross has found a new home, she was lovely too but my daughter wasnt interested, fussy bugger that she is!
I'm not too sure about the siezed dog tbh. the Dangerous Dog Act states that Pitbulls are banned in this country so if they say he is a full breed pitbull then yes he will be put to sleep. however Staffies cossed with any large bull breed dog are classed as '
pitbull type' owners are by law supposed to have their dog, registered, Microchipped, tattooed, neutered, and muzzled in public, and any dog that they think looks like a '
pitbull type' will be seized if the owner does not do what the DDA want, then the dog will be put to sleep.
someone I know had his a Staffie cross Boxer seized, he had to have his dog done to conform with the DDA request even though in the end it was proved he was not a
'pitbull type'(IMO the police wouldn't know a pitbull from a poodle) he was kept at a secret location for over a year. the dog was never the same again
he is scared of his own shadow now, he was terribly emaciated, and looked pitiful when they got him back.
These louts that go around using these dog as a status symbol are the ones to blame for what these dogs have to go through. and they are the kindest most loving dogs. BSL is wrong and should end now.
Punish the deed not the breed.
sorry didn't mean to rant on lol!
when you say your daughter is fussy! are you looking for a rescue dog?
