If you are fortunate enough to own a wonderful Staffordshire bull terrier you need and must be aware of the Dangerous Dogs Act.
This is not because the DDA bans the beloved Staffie, which of course it doesn't, but because the evidence is clear - the police do not know what a Staffordshire bull terrier looks like.
Having checked out the illuminating DDAWatch web site I can across a page that lists some of those dogs seized and killed by the police. It is clear from some of these images that some of these dogs are Staffies or Staffie-crosses.
There are numerous online resources available and I recommend as a Staffie you make yourself aware of them so that should a police officer decide your Staffie is in pact a pit bull, or Tosa or any of the other banned breeds you know what you can do. Be aware, don't panic.
