[QUOTE="Sandpit Farm, post: 8054691, member: 1646"] I was pretty sure the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 banned 4 breeds of dog in the UK due to their dominant characteristics and the challenging nature of being able to keep them. Those are the Tosa Inu, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasilia and the American Pit Bull. The same act is responsible for any breed of dog that acts in an aggressive antisocial manner when in public. A destruction order can be implemented in some cases. I also don't buy into the 'its not the dog its the owner' mentality. I keep collies, I always have and they are challenging in their own way. They need work, even if they are pets. So if dogs can have traits for everything else, why don't we believe they can have dominant traits and be more likely to be antisocial around other dogs? I find that Staffies are generally the most friendly dogs around people but are very challenging to mix with other dogs because of their nature. I find collies aloof and generally less friendly with other dogs. The challenge is that many of the people drawn to these more dominant breeds tend to be people that value that as a characteristic and don't properly socialise those animals so you end up with a dog that will never be happy around company - it all contributes to their reputation unfortunately. I love Staffies but I wouldn't want one I'm afraid. [/QUOTE]
