Hearsay....... or someones imagination maybe

Load of crap! That is "Longcoats" talk. He/she seems to think getting ANKC papers is like buying a packet of cornflakes. Besides, if people were to try and falsify ANKC papers, one rangers phonecall to the state body would soon fix that up.

I love brindle SBT's

Not the sharpest tool in the shed. Still a tool though....

You ought to talk. You are the one who had an AmStaff that became a SBT. Im talking about a stand on fighting BSL. Having an actual STAND is a topic people like you always avoid. You're passing an AmStaff aka Pit Bull off as a Staffy. Is this your idea of a stand??? I can call my dog whatever I want. Are you gonna correct all those people who say staffy instead of staffordshire bull terrier. Awww have a cry now And what i call my dog has sooOoo much to do with having a stand on BSL. What else do you want to talk about??? what I had for breakfast? As a matter of fact it does. You and those like you calling your Pit Bull (an AmStaff unreg with the ANKC) a SBT is a sure fire way toward BSL for them too. First of all you dont know what breed of dog i own. Secondly i never called my dog a SBT. I said staffy, short for Staffordshire. Actually you said both. You said you owned an AmStaff in one of your early posts, then almost 2 years later you edited your post to Staffy. Why was that?? http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...c=69193&hl= You got caught out. Someone quoted you.

I always thought "game" meant "up for the any challenge" or "have an attempt with confidence".

He was totally wrong. Good posts "Greytmate" Which part is totally wrong rottiadore , most of what the ranger told me reflects the same as what Greytmate has told us??? A game dog "can" be handled and stopped from fighting whilst retaining a will to win because of their level head. That is one of the things looked for in a pit fighting dog. Nobody wants a dog that can't be stopped or controlled by a handler. Both dogs must be able to fight another day.

doitforthedogs: How is your AmStaff boy doing? Does he still bother your older bitch? The little fella must be at least 23kg by now.

Here's one for you "doitforthedogs"

Agreed We all know that registering them as AmStaff with the council means little to nothing without the ANKC papers to back it up. In the eyes of the law anyway. People need to be educated about this. If people want a Pit Bull, get an AmStaff from a registered breeder.

no im not serious. and its seems youre not serious about it either. Seriously doit4thedogz... What breed do you own?

Hunting with Staffies in Australia is more popular than you might think and gaining in popularity. Very handy with foxes and rabbits. What breed do you own?

It's a shame they are portrayed in such a negative way because the truth is Pit Bulls make great family dogs. Doitforthedogz . What breed do you own?

chris, that was exactly Poodlefans point if you focus on breed. If people are going to use the stats, then be careful that they can't be used against you. If you say that there are no APBT's or PB's in the current NSW stats, then it could be argued that BSL is working as they are not on there and why not add other breeds to the list seeing as though BSL was a success when it came to Pit Bulls. I'm a bit of a cynic . Bite stats seem to come and go over the years and are made public when it's convenient. I doubt we'd be seeing any of these stats ( except for a leak to a newspaper ) if there were APBT's or PB's featuring in them. Strange that they site 103 AmStaff attacks. To the average person they must surely look like any other Pit Bull (obviously). Or is public awareness of what an AmStaff is growing?? A total of 501 Staffy/Amstaff and crosses. That's a lot of PB's dressed up as something else.

Agree with that. Having a go at Tybrax was just bloody nasty. She deserves nothing but respect for all she's been through.

Are you just here for a sh!t stir???

What breed do you own?

Combined total of 501 staffy/amstaff types. WOW!

But they do have a lot in common. Both in history and behaviour. I have seen staffies that would equal an APBT when it comes dog/animal aggression and locking on (strength excluded). Many staffy owners don the rose coloured glasses. They are prone to it too. Anyone who truly knows and understands the staffy would not deny this. Staffies are great little fighters and hunters The British "brotha's" like the Staffy too. (the dog on the right)

No denial. No debate needed. I have stated in previous posts that they have to be watched with strange dogs and other animals. Their are exceptions, but mostly that is the rule with the APBT and AmStaff and to a lesser extent the SBT. So what? I'm surprised you haven't picked on my beloved Rotties. Did you know they rank consistantly high up in the attack per capita lists. Higher than Pit Bulls. But then so do many other breeds. Like I said no denial here. WHAT SORT OF BREED DO YOU OWN??? Be honest and up front.
