When we moved to Australia we also moved our dog, which was a major piece of work both in time and money. As we went through the process the documentation made clear that any of the "bull" breeds were not allowed. Once we arrived, to our surprise, the majority of the dogs we saw were "bull" variants. Now Ed you know that is not right, we don't have any 'bulls' here, we only have 'pig dogs'...totally different thing. Miss us yet? We sure do.

Any dog that looks remotely like a pitbull is shot around my place. Same with all those "mean" breeds like Rottweilers, etc.
No need for regulation..... unless I'm shooting a double barrel. By now, you'd think someone would have done something about you, which makes me doubt your story, since you're quite obviously still breathing. You must live in a very strange place if you think my behavior with respect to dogs is aberrant. Don't get much stranger than Florida.

1 attempt, 4 seconds. Didn't need to scroll down to look at all of 'em. It was easy, I live on the West Side.

As we went through the process the documentation made clear that any of the "bull" breeds were not allowed. Once we arrived, to our surprise, the majority of the dogs we saw were "bull" variants. The ID-the-pit test on the link was a slam-dunk fer me. And as further evidence I'm gonna throw in pics of the late, unlamented pit Petey, whom Rog kindly adopted and which later turned on him for no special reason. Keep in mind that Rog is an experienced dog guy. Petey had a normal upbringing, was well-socialized and never encouraged to be aggressive . Folks at the time on this site assured me the young Petey weren't really a pit.... ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v148/Sharpshin/dogs/IMG_2353.jpg) ..but no one questioned the ID when he grew up (Rog's photo).... ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v148/Sharpshin/dogs/1186344_10200098147410990_1186737342_n_zpsa75e0986.jpg) Long way of saying I expect I can spot a pit as well as anyone. And thinking on it, it ain't just the appearance but the general demeanor of the dog. When the aggression switch ain't flipped, which it almost never is towards their owners, pits typically have a sort of affectionate, slobbery, yet pushy demeanor. England has had a ban on pit-bulls for years. Yet I saw them all over over there, most often in the hands of the same sort of morons who own 'em here. Birdwatcher

Should be shot on sight This^^^ Nah. Let's shoot bird dogs. I like birds, and bird dogs help folks shoot birds. Birds are pretty. Yep. Pretty much a proven fact that bird dogs have an innate tendency ACT like bird dogs even though they may have never been trained for or taken out bird hunting. Familiar example, lots of urban labs will retrieve all day long, and they love water. Lots of pointers and Brittanys will range 40 yards out when walked off a leash and go on point all by themselves. Same thing with the fighting/baiting breeds, they tend to act like what they've been bred for. In our own small sampling among the members here we got a pit that went rogue in Corpus Christi and an American Bulldog that did the exact same in wherever BCBrian lives. Birdwatcher
