I don't know man. I think wirthless belongs in the Salem which hunt times, seems to be where his brain matter resides circa 17c. funny to note he is trotting out some deed not breed script, might it have to do they lost a huge support to RSPCA over his stupid comments, before? me thinks so.

Yes but Staffordshiire terrier remains the name, do you think Americans call american? Not on any boards I've seen, yes wirthless idiots aboard. I hope they dig themselves into oblivion actually. can't wait to see what the feds say lol.

pffft bullshit, 30% are vegan diets

perhaps APBT club australia might give a run down of the number registered with them, they are members on this forum, it wouldn't say how many in Aus though, impossible.

hmm wouldn't that be staffordshire bull terrier? as far as history is concerned staffordshire terrier was what the APBT was called when first recognised and registered with the AKC, then later adopted a name change to add American in front to distinguish from the SBT when SBT was recognised by the AKC in the 70's, and still known world wide as a staffy. History as it was written and indisputable, by any in the breed. Heck it's even in the ankc breed standard extention. Wirth's a dick born and bred. And a know all f*** all. Nothing to add but a rolly eyes now where did I park that emote yet again. Can't be bothered.

The life and times of a feral dog.

It would be like saying how many Labs are in Australia etc. No one could give a figure.

I think it would be simply impossible to know.

"Pitbulls are the pits and Pitbull owners are sick. Wanta tell the world you are STUPID? Get a pit." WOW what a mental midgit. Way to paint people with tar and feather!. Some cerebral defunct may just say the same about the french mastiffs owners Derr. Ever revolving door.

Bizarre i thought Taz brought in BSL for the pure breed last year? Must be OK to sell/give away down there? cant see a loop hole. Regardless good on em, f*** the governments bunch of roach smoker vote grabbers they were told by there own field workers.

Pitbull terriers won't be banned from the suburbs of Moreton Bay Regional Council. Moreton Bay is the only council in southeast Queensland that has not banned the notorious breed. Since the mauling death of four-year-old Ayen Chol in Melbourne last week, Mayor Allan Sutherland said: ``If the breed proved to be problematic (in Moreton Bay Region) in the future then we would consider banning them.’’ Cr Sutherland said his council followed State Government guidelines, including having the dogs muzzled and on a leash at all times in public, desexed, and kept in a secure escape-proof enclosure with an official restricted dog warning sign at all entrances. Cr Sutherland said council feared banning the breed would drive it ``underground’’. ``Our concern is that we have more rural and farming areas in our region where it could be harder to monitor breeding,’’ he said. Cr Sutherland also raised the issue of legal dispute with owners of dogs that appeared to be pit bulls to the untrained eye, but could be a cross-breed or a Staffordshire terrier. The comments contrast with those of Brisbane Mayor Graham Quirk, who said the pitbull was an extremely dangerous and aggressive breed and had no place in his city. American pit-bull terriers and cross breeds were banned in Brisbane in 1996, with a concession that existing dogs be allowed the rest of their lives. ``The figures speak for themselves, with no pit bull attacks recorded since the ban was put in place,’’ said Cr Quirk. According to the council, all of the seven pit bulls that were registered in 2003 are now dead. An RSPCA spokesman said the society believed in ``punishing the deed, not the breed’’. ``Unfortunately however, we are aware that the very pet owner that shouldn’t have a breed like a pit bull are often attracted to those types of dogs.’’ http://www.couriermail.com.au/questnews/moreton/moreton-bay-regional-council-refuses-to-ban-extremely-dangerous-pitbull-terriers-until-they-prove-to-be-a-problem-mayor-allan-sutherland/story-fn8m0yu3-1226122534372

lol, that one expensive dog poop! glad all's good in the end for pooch and diamond owner, hope it weren't blood diamonds, that would shit me.

RIP Dingo.

Australia is a massive country, It's all not citycentric. Does anyone really think APBT's or X's there off will not be here one day? If so I and many many others will be rolling eye emoticons for ever more especially at the politicisation. Dig a hole deeper than they are already in with BSL and it's cost blow outs over just and fair dog controls. Just makes me lol every time at these people.

Can't make heads nor tails of it? 5k op, so she sells the house foe 5k, house on market before dog was in the picture? HUH?!? I iz confuzled.

Temporary fix: Have esky? salt the ice down place chook in containers it sorta snap super freezes them, good for 4 weeks.

best cheapest for my dog was enduro brand, followed by bonnie, followed by uncle albers.

Heh that's a pretty funky looking tag! Sure beats my plastic key tag in the bling department.

It'll be interesting to read what ever they comes up with.

TASMANIANS cling to an urban myth about dangerous dogs, an expert at the front line of dog control in the state says. Glenorchy City Council inspector Steve Rigby said many Tasmanians believed big dogs and certain breeds of dog were more likely to attack than others. Mr Rigby has worked in the animal management area for 15 years and said no one breed had caused more trouble than another. "What people choose not to understand is that with every incident in which a dog attacks, there is always some human intervention which facilitates the bite," he said. The fatal mauling of a four-year-old girl by a pitbull in Victoria this week has sparked calls for pitbull crossbreeds to be banned in Tasmania. Ayen Chol died when she was attacked by the pitbull as she clung to her mother's legs inside their Melbourne home. The 11 reported incidents of dogs acting aggressively towards people in Glenorchy so far this year involved a little maltese terrier cross, two heeler crosses, one german shepherd cross, a german shepherd, two australian bulldogs, two bull mastiffs, one staffordshire terrier and one border collie. "While bigger dogs can cause more injury when they do attack, they are no more likely to be aggressive," Mr Rigby said yesterday as alarm over dog attacks continued. "You might be able to defend yourself better against a smaller dog but they can be just as aggressive or even more aggressive." Royal Hobart Hospital head plastic surgeon Frank Kimble said his team responded to two or three major dog bite injuries each year. These injuries, requiring extensive surgery and leading to disfigurement, mostly involved children and middle-aged women snuggling up to dogs. Mr Kimble also deals with hundreds of cat bite injuries each year and agrees that little "yappers" are often involved in dog bite incidents. There are about 100,000 registered dogs in Tasmania and 100, or one in every thousand, has been labelled dangerous. The Australian Veterinary Association says more regulation will not reduce the number of dog attacks. "Despite having some of the most restrictive rules for dog owners in the world, dog attacks still happen in Australia," the AVA's Kersti Seksel said yesterday. Dr Seksel said all dogs had the potential to react aggressively if scared or threatened. http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2011/08/20/254651_tasmania-news.html

They do an owner license in NZ, I think its only for reduction in rego fees? Don't know how well it works like if many problem dogs are about from owners doing the test etc but it's an incentive non the less. http://www.animal-control.co.nz/education.htm

Heaps of people just pinned a label that BT's are Pigdogs too. The head shape of BT's stand out in a crowd for sure. But that doesn't matter, people get conditioned from a young age to believe so much that isn't necessarily true. The oldies say they are pigdogs or pitbulls,so they must be, that sticks around in the noggin and then they pass it on down to their own kids. Same with a lot of mindless dribble in the papers, like the latest pit bull furore, pointed out it's a mixed mutt, fly's right over the head and the saga continues.

come on mate this is Steve, you know they guy who lets Springer Spanials rip up cats on telly but makes sure the vid is cut in time.

how do you know they are really purebred APBT? load of crap talking.
