I heard today that they are illegal here and also if you get seen with a pitbull you get a fine on the spot and the dog gets taken straight off you and destroyed??
Answers:
Do you want to know about American Bulldogs, or American Pit Bull Terriers? They are 2 distinctly different breeds.
The American Bulldog is not illegal in the UK, but the APBT is.
See DEFRA's website - it has all the information on seizure etc.
Irish let the journey begin 1-800-usa-navy www.navyjobs.com Oh home on the range.
i think they are only iligal in irland not sure about england i saw 1 the oter day
i have heard something to that effect but i can't verify that
If they are not they should be,they are nothing but trouble. I wish they would ban them here (USA) too.
American Bulldogs are legal in the UK. There are only 4 banned breeds, the pit bull, dogo argentino, japanese tosa and fila braziliero. A lot of american bulldogs are very squishy but the breed does have its problems (like they all do).
I believe that theoretically if you are seen with a pit bull or a dog known 'of the type' of a pit (meaning a cross of that breed or a dog with a lot of the physical characteristics of that breed) then you can be prosecuted under the dangerous dogs act. Dogs have to be viewed by an expert witness who will decide whether or not the dog is a pit.
Since there is no officially recognised breed as an American Bulldog, they can hardly be illegal. However, if it is decided that a so-called American Bulldog is a pitbull type, then its owner is committing an offence %26 the dog will be seized.
Nah, American Bulldogs aren't banned in the UK. You're right about pitbulls being illegal here but American Bulldogs aren't even pitbull 'type' so no worries. Nice looking dogs by the way...
american bulldogs are different 2 pitbulls ive seen a few of them there not like our english bulls there taller but our mean luking no they are not illegal 2 own in this country but u do have 2 have a licence 4 them and im sure wether u can breed off them wen u inmport them over they have 2 b put in2 quarrtine and shud be tattoed or microchipped
American Bulldogs are not illegal in uk - Yet. But just watch; As the breed gains popularity amongst the idiot fringe and back yard breeders jump on the gravy train, there'll be trouble.
Incidentally; Some strains of ABD can indeed look every ounce an 80 Ilb Pit. And don't forget; The DDA states that it need only be a Dog of the " Pit Bull Type ". Be warned.
Oh, and please don't read from this that I'm in any way against the ABD. Far from it. I'm soon to be importing a top quality, performance bred, Dog from an internationally respected breeder / Trainer.
But then, I live in Eire. On an isolated small holding where I keep livestock. Basicly the 'Homestead' existance that produced these Dogs in the first place. Ye'll never see me or my ABD on a city street.
cross breed him make him a mix they'll get confused works
Thats all a load of rubbish - American bulldogs are not illegal and the limited laws on dangerous dogs are rarely enforced and no fines will be coming the way of pit bull owners unless they are not looking after their dogs properly.
Quick answer YES!!!
What you heard about American Pit Bull Terriers is true.
However no American Bulldogs are not illegal.
