Exactly Aussie3, hatred of crossbreeds seems to be the main point that m-sass has to support bsl. what an awful thing, to condemn a dog simply because it lacks the "right" paperwork seems completely unethical and inhumane. I know that this is a pedigree dog forum but most people here surely have the compassion not to kill a dog just because it doesn't look like their ideal of a perfect dog. Looks shouldn't Kill Funny, I got the impression that m-sass was meaning that if you choose to own a dog that resembles a restricted breed, be prepared for the worst. Please QUOTE m-sass in future, because I do believe you are twisting her/his words and reading into something that hasn't been written. No, he has said as much in a number of threads My question is what about the person who bought a lab x staffy from the pound before the rules and now has a dog that fits the registered description?

So I suppose this http://www.dailyadve...ious-dalmatian/ is just a one off attack by a non aggressive breed so it is okay? Because Dali's heads aren't normally foggy with aggression. We aren't fighting to save BYBers and their over bred dogs. We are fighting to save certain breeds of dogs who are being discriminated against based on appearance. BYB's over breed many breeds of dogs, that isn't going to stop until legislation changes. You may not like bull breeds, but that is no reason for them to be eradicated. Laws like this are just the beginning It is bull breeds now, what is going to be next? Your head just seems to me to be foggy with hatred, maybe you need to channel your aggression into fighting BSL with the rest of us. You are not fighting to save certain breeds at all as the dogs people are fighting over are all BYB's of no specific breed as such that have no recognised standard. It's not the beginning of anything as the precident on what will be next was set with the Amstaff's exclusion from BSL although it's essentially a Pitbull of some degree. When a court determines that an Amstaff is a Pitbull and then specifically the Amstaff is excluded from BSL and not added to the list proves the point of where things are heading and confirms that ANKC recognised breeds are safe. If breed restrictions were on the agenda, the Amstaff would have been done and dusted..........and what happened??, the Amstaff being a recognised breed was excluded like any other recognised breed would be in the same instance. If they did for example try and add Dalmations onto the BSL list and ban them suddenly, the Amstaff sets the legal precident to overturn the decision immediately. Ask the question again what breed could be next?..........any breed or mixture of that is not ANKC recognised, again the choice is in the hands of the consumer if you want a dog that the rangers won't be scooping up, buy papered from a registered breeder or choose a cross breed or un-papered dog that doesn't resemble a restricted breed..........how hard is that seriously?? Go back to the BSL Solution thread. There is a list of papered breeds that are banned all around the world...then come back and say no other breed can be banned Eta- Nvm. Seems to have been deleted. There is this though . http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/101860-updated-list-of-breeds-banned-or-restricted-in-us/page__p__1763894__hl__airedale__fromsearch__1#entry1763894 And I am sure you can use google

Very cute!

Gorgeous! I love the black and white Schnauzers.

Keshwar, is Zac an Irish Wolfhound? Lochie

Aw what a bunch of cute babies sorry about the sizes. Photobucket hates me. Yuna then now Hamish then now

Dunno sorry, I usually don't bother checking until the next day. I had suggested it before I saw your edit so there may no point if its on in the morning.

You can watch it in iview? I though some of the shots in the kennel and greyhound shots would have been much better to use, though it was a very nice portrait

This lens came out late last month. Was just wondering if anyone has gotten it yet and/or what you think about it

hopefully not as I think these have been around for a while. I have noticed that rotties are banned in a few towns. A friend who has a Shar Pei x moved and the home insurance ended up having to increase because of the breed of dog. Its absurd.

he's so beautiful. and i love his curly tail

Why is sharing an opinion difference derailing a thread? It's my opinion that ANKC recognised breeds will not become restricted breeds reinforced by the Amstaff resolution as a test case to support my opinion. If anyone thinks that ANKC recognised breeds are vulnerable to restriction and need to support anti BSL regimes on that basis, good luck to them You do realize that in other areas of the world that have BSL, particularly in the states, American Staffordshre Terriers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers are also restricted or banned, papers or not? ETA: and in the states there are two registries that provide pedigrees to APBT and hold conformation shows? there are also non bull breeds banned in various parts of the us

don't see how when you yourself seem to be against Mastiff and other such breeds you deem aggressive.

agreed. They had all that stuff to work with as well they didn't include. Thought the one would have worked better if they had included more of the Vespa. looked like a lot of fun though.

I keep telling mine i am going to put them out for council pick up if they don't behave.

that is very expensive. I am pretty sure ours was a just a bit over $100

I don't know what they are like, but I am pretty sure the one at Hamilton is open 8am til 7 or so and then are open all day Saturday and Sunday as well.

Are you going to give him a bath in the tub that would be pretty cute Why did he have to be branded? Is it similar to why we microchip or more to verify breeding? He is unbelievably cute. I wanna give him a cuddle

I can't decide if that is really neat or really scary. Great shot though

Shar pei often need a lot of eye work on top of all this. That can be pretty expensive.

there is at least one veterinary hospital. It isn't that far out.

Nice shots. I particularly like the macaw and the iguana

The dog with its teeth ground down was put to sleep because of its psychological problems because of what it went through. What would they autopsy for? Surely the teeth is enough evidence of cruelty? I don't understand how the police can say it is not happening when there were interviews with the people who found him and had to PTS in the paper. Unless it is the case that these people aren't bothering to make formal police complaints I agree that there is an element of hysteria, but it also looks like at least something is going on - whether or not it is to the scale that is being depicted.
