It wouldnt be ANY breed, but a dog that looks like the 'type' that could be classed. Some Boxer crosses and Lab crosses can look similar to Pits, but as I said earlier, the enforcing authorities should be using breed specialists or at least have trained people who know what they are looking for.
I still dont understand why they cant use DNA profiling ! They have over 100 dogs in DNA profiling, so they should test the dogs.....simple. A DNA profile is around £30-40, which is a lot cheaper than than a jab to have them euthanised !!!

According to the DDA, its that they fit the characteristics of the PB. regardless of parentage. So I dont think I said anything to suggest otherwise?
ANY breed that fits the characteristics of the PB would be destroyed by taking the action suggested by SUZE.

NO, I'm sayng If they had breed specialists, they should be looking for dogs of the PB BREED !!!
As I said before...............DNA profiling would be the only sure way and cheaper to do.

So yes, if they have a Boxer and a Lab on file, and they tested a PB Type which was actually a cross, then it would tell them that it was a Bxer/Lab and not a Pit.

The only threads you SEE me post on are yours, because mysteriously, if there is a controversy anywhere on Dogsey, YOU and BORDERDAWN are smack in the middle of. SO who exactly is the rabble rouser then?

I've been on the same threads as borderdawn and malady and anneuk latley and each time you come on and slag off the above posters imo if you've nowt to say on the thread dont bother your bum to post and slander those that do.
