I just googled "Bandog" & up came adds for breeders & puppies for sale in Queensland...so they can't be too illegal.
Google Pit bull puppies and see just how many come up and how much people are paying from them ;) It's not really a good indication of whether a breed is banned or not but all you have to do to be sure is look at the legislation and 'Bandogs' are not on any of the lists Australia wide from my understanding.
However - is a bandog not a cross breed that is made up of Pit Bull and various other breeds? If so, maybe they are declaring your dog restricted based on this?
A bandogge is a cross between a neo mastiff and a amstaff, no pit bull in them. Well our dog is registered as exactly what he is, a bandogge x bullmastiff, and some say they not illegal, some say they are. Who knows. Qld is such a backwards state!
While the Bandog is still a relatively rare breed, those familiar with a well bred Bandog often develop the opinion of it being the perfect protection dog for their needs. Various programs have used the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, English Mastiff, and Neapolitan Mastiff for foundation breeds
