Hi,
We live in Brisbane and have concerns about the future for our dog after the recent events on the Gold Coast.
After reading the Brisbane City Council website in regards to dangerous dogs, it states:
"The following breeds of dogs, including those that substantially meet the description of these breeds, are banned in Brisbane:
American pit-bull terrier"
My concern is we purchased our puppy as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier without any papers. We have no proof, or even know ourselves how pure his bloodline is.
To look at he could be accused of being crossed with an APBT. We can't prove differently.
My question is, are people who own non-breeder 'pit bull type' (I use the term in a broad sense to describe dogs that the general public might mistake and classify as a 'pit bull') concerned that their dogs will be accused of being part APBT and be destroyed? What are people doing if they are concerned?
We have spent so much time training our dog to be a well behaved and have no fear of him ever being aggressive in anyway.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
