Naww look at Hamlet Holy dooley look at that sheep Looks like it got tangled in a tumble weed :laugh:

How can they be papered when they are not a recognised breed unless they are registered as Amstaffs. All appeared the same size and shape as the Amstaffs at shows except they were all red/white with red noses which is not an Amstaff colour. All the same as the many that populated my neighbourhood for many years, including the one that bailed me up just last year then went for, knocked over and injured an elderly lady walking her dog. In this case she was lucky as two good samaritans jumped straight on the dog as it got her to the ground and one shoved her walking stick in it's mouth as it tried to get to her head. Unfortunately the idiot owner turned up and took the dog while the lady was being treated in an ambulance and we were all still waiting for the police. They may be papered and registered as APBT's on the American Registries. All my brothers APBT's were papered when he use to show them :)

Don't know how you figure this will solve the issue. "Proper" APBT breeders bred dog aggressive dogs - indeed, they didn't see it as an issue and said as much in their BSL submissions. I see a lot of assumptions about these dogs being mistreated, poorly managed or raised to be aggressive. I don't see a shred of evidence that would support any of those assumptions. The only thing we know for sure is that these dogs escaped their yard and attacked another dog, maiming its owner in the process. "Proper" breeders also look after and manage their dogs. Not bitten? Did they maul him with their paws?? Unless you've seen the injury report and eye witness reports, how can you categorically state that these injuries cannot be explained by someone being bitten protecting their dog? How's this for a scenario. Legs injured by dogs biting boy while he held the dog and then once he was on the ground, the ear was bitten in a similar manner. All you have to be is between a dog and it's intended target. I'm not ruling out HA or transferred aggression but the fact is we simply don't know what the dogs' motivation was and frankly I don't really think it matters all that much. Fact is you cannot label these dogs as monsters and it's actually not very helpful at all. The moment you do it, you can differentiate these dogs from your average suburban dogs - and that's not a good move at all. Very true. My dog got in a fight over food a few months ago with a Kelpie. During the fight the next door neighbour stuck her leg between the dogs and got bitten by my dog. Now my dog only has one eye and she was on his blind side when she stuck her leg in. Did she get stitches? Yes. Did my dog get put down? No. Do I think my dog did it in on purpose? No. Do I or she think he is a monster? No. +1 What was their true breed identity? What are you implying? The red nose could have come from a number of mix of breeds? People are so happy to blame a "breed".
