An AmStaff is basically a show version of the APBT in the USA, thats what i have always been lead to believe.As such im pretty sure it is outlawed by the DDA as a pit bull type.There is as usual debates about this,but im pretty sure i have my facts right this time. |

Trevor Cooper, the solicitor (attorney!) most famous for DDA cases, working for the defence, has written articles saying that the Amstaff is considered under the law (whether rightly or wrongly) to be the "show version" of the Pitbull, and so is illegal in the UK. |

Clair, I think your friend should refer to her puppy as a Bullmastiff cross and leave it at that. Too much talk of banned breeds and Pitbull type can only make things difficult for her and dangerous for the dog. Dawn R. |
