snuzzbobble
You can apply for a certificate of exemption for a dog that's a banned breed. Have to keep it muzzled in public and get special insurance.
snuzzbobble
Also I think it's worth noting that most of the main animal and dog organisations in the UK campaign against the blanket ban of certain
snuzzbobble
breeds as it doesn't take into account temperament of the individual and also implies that other dogs are inherently safe.
cptunderpants
There are no bad breeds, only bad owners.
threeblackkittens
Or good owners who unfortunately have a naturally aggressive dog and struggle to manage it as best as they can knly to get comments like 1/

I was terrified of them until I started fostering. Each and every dog is different. Don't get size a dog you can't handle.
ThePyroknight
This band on specific breeds is ridiculous. it is not the breed that causes a dog to be aggressive. it is aggressive because of the way 1/2
ThePyroknight
You train or treat the dog. so if you train your dog to be violent or overprotective then yes it will be aggressive same if you treat 1/2
ThePyroknight
the dog like crap or if the dog was abused before you adopted the dog. No dog is ever born violent EVER.

That makes me sad and angry. I would never move to a place I wouldn't be able to bring my pit. She is one of my kids

I cannot stand the stigma against pits. The people who abuse pitbulls into killers are the ones who should be banned from this planet
threeblackkittens
What about the dogs who are born aggressive and have never been abused? Because they do exist. And good owners struggle to work on them 1/

That's a Staffy bull in my opinion. Staffordshire bull. Like the place in the UK. Jesus "authorities" need to learn their fucking dog types
tomalt
The worst any Staffy I've ever met has done is bump into me too hard because they're giant goofballs. They love people.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
It's identified as a pit bull by the foster home ie: a vet. So it will say on the dogs paperwork it's a pitbull. Normally paperwork>opinion
tomalt
Reading some of the American Kennel club I didn't realise they consider the Staffy so close to 'pit bulls' as I know them.
tomalt
Should have mentioned I'm in Australia and this is what we call Staffy's. Pit Bulls to us are only the American Bull Terrier really.

Staffies and pitbulls are two different breeds, identified as such around the world.

I had a border collie as a kid. It would run circles around the kids and "herd" us. Not trained, just instinct. What is a pit's instinct?
katsrulz
A border collie is a breed with genetic coding. "A pit" is a descriptive word, not a breed. What we call "pittbull" is a mutt w a big head.

American pitbull terrier is included in the description of "pit bull" but they aren't the only breed in that description.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
They were originally bred as nanny dogs. Fuck face assholes use them for fighting which is where their unjust stigma comes from.
MissAizea
The nanny dog is a fallacy, they were used for bull baiting/hunting
XplodingUnicornGlitter
Okay so then it's humans fault. Circling back to animals respond to the way they are treated. But yeah, let's entirely blame the animal.
Munchman347
I want a pet Alligator! 'You can't have one, they are inherently dangerous', Oh sure, blame the animal!...
MissAizea
I don't blame the breed, they were never really human aggressive, just dog aggressive. I like pitbulls, but like any powerful breed, 1/2
MissAizea
They need a responsible owner and training. Though, my dad didn't train his, and he was gentle with everything regardless 2/2
MissAizea
That said. Dobermans were specifically bred to be efficient at killing people (long jaw and shaped to go for throat). But they shouldn't 1/2
MissAizea
Be banned either. I love both those breeds and a lot of the aggression has/is being bred out completely. 2/2
threeblackkittens
Which actually kind of sucks in some ways because Dobermans are becoming very shaky now. Makes them bad for protection sports.
xXxHulaHamsterxXx
I'm in the UK and the legislation is they take the dog and do multiple tests to see if it can be a social creature (walk with dogs, have 1/1
xXxHulaHamsterxXx
Ransoms jog by etc) and if they pass they can go back to the owner but have to have a muzzle when out on a walk. Unfortunately as people 2/3
xXxHulaHamsterxXx
Say if they did suddenly snap there isn't really a way you can stop them and they can do a lot of damage if they did go. Thats the sad part
SgtMjAlex
And then keep them in a 1x1 cage for 3 years before having them killed.
RobertNAdams
Goodness, what a nanny state the UK has become.
Dravit
I love dogs but I support the ban on pit-bulls here. They can be unpredictable and extremely dangerous.
Dravit
The problem is that if they decide to go postal, they're nearly impossible to stop and at best will do serious damage - at worst; kill
Bustee27
I thought in the U.K. You could register them to live here

ButteryCommissar
He tried and researched, and found there was no 100% safe option for Ginger. He really looked into it.
oynsy
You have to have them speyed , tattooed and neutered and have them muzzled at all times. You only register them if the police take them.
soulfuldog
Not tattooed, but microchipped. Which is now true of all dogs in the UK since 2016
oynsy
They are illegal. If Patrick brought the dog in, the police would take it, and he would have to prove it harmless and appeal. They could say
oynsy
No and destroy ginger, or say yes, and return the dog at his expense for neutering and court costs

Simple but not quick. The line to get a green card (if you don't get a business-sponsored visa) is something like 10 years long.

upending his life to try to become a major businessman is a worthy trade for a dog.

transientarchitect
I have noticed personally that pitts can be very sweet but they’re also are more prone to aggressive temperaments if not handled correctly.
JoshJitsu
They strongly pack bond and don't always react well to 'outsiders'.
transientarchitect
In which case the ban isn’t assuming all pitts are bad, but instead assumes that most people don’t have the training to handle these animals
LarryFine
Fair enough, and probably true.
LarryFine
They may be more prone to aggression, but the real problem is if they get aggressive they can easily kill an adult human, moreso a child.
plentyofrabbits
Most dogs can easily kill an adult human, moreso a child, if they get aggressive.
LarryFine
Fair enough, but for whatever reason many people are afraid of pits. Sad but true. Maybe due to dog fighters and other bad owners.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
So are Chiuauas and Yorkies, even more so. Should they be banned too?
createduser
Chihuahuas and yorkies cannot physically do the same catastrophic damage that a bully breed inflicts.
createduser
You can punt a small dog, not so much with a pitbull.
TayTay051
I'm sorry, but If a chihuahua or Yorkie gets aggressive it's a lot less likely to kill you. Its a more manageable situation than with a pit
RobertNAdams
No, as much as I would love to never hear that godawful yipping ever again in my life...
LarryFine
Chihuahas and Yorkies don't attract lowlife thug owners and dog fighters. Sadly, American Pit Bull Terriers do.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
That doesn't mean those little dogs don't attack people.
LarryFine
It means they don't kill people. If a little dog attacks me, I'll just step on it.
Uberdude100
Every pit ive met is so ridiculously full of love. I love them. Its such a fucking shame they have such a stigma against them

What you say is true. Yet my bulldog got attacked out of nowhere by a pit bull with owners . He almost died. It was traumatic to watch
Merwini
Pits will do anything for their family. Unfortunately, this means that shitty people can turn them into monsters.

nipplepanties
it's also partly the overmixing of dogs with pit genes. Becomes a problem too
jasonddgs
It's such a shit storm when it comes to people's opinion about pitbulls
Mockingbirb
They're often abused and trained to fight, and shitty people use dogs as a weapon, London had a problem there I heard. The dogs aren't bad.
lordshipgryphon
it's an attempt to stamp out dog fights in the uk and it's not all pitbulls just purebred pitbull terriers
AngurProne
When I was 18th I met a co-worker who had two pitbulls I reacted the way most do. He had me come visit his dogs my opinion changed.
AngurProne
Also if you ask Animal Control Officers the only dogs they are afraid of are Chows.
RuneFang
It’s not the breed but the people that raise the individual animal we have one and is absolutely nothing but a complete love bug.

Generally, they, and staffys, absolutely love and will protect their family/owners. usually aggressive to other dogs/people they dont know

I was attacked by a pit when I was 12. I still love pits. Doesn't say anything about the breed. It says everything about the owners though.

The cause is the lowlife "humans" that used this breed as a dog-fighting and/or an attack dog, to intimidate people & resulting tragedies.
LoudBirb
How about instead of banning specific breeds, we just make those breeds' owners directly responsible for their dog's actions. Motivate...
LoudBirb

... not willing to take at least that level of responsibility for the dog's sake, then get a different dog.

They were often fighting dogs which, as you can imagine, made them violent.
Dennarro
They are not born violent, only forced to act that way by shitty people. But any dog will do that if you abuse it enough.

That is false. They were specifically bred for aggression. Yes, they can be raised well, but only if you don't ignore that fact.

I understand that, but a put bull is not the only bully breed that's like that.
