Thanks!! And as you well know, when they speak of "Bully Breeds", it's any group of dogs that may resemble a Pit bull Type dog. -looking like a "pit bull"- so welcome to the law. I think really it depends on the area, but some go as far as to include Bull Dogs.
When introducing my girls, I always call them what they are. English Staffordshire Terriers. The educated folk knows when I say it. I'm amused when the not as educated folk say "ohhh!! Thought it was a pit bull!!" in sure you can figure out my next statement. I think bsl is just a different form of predjudism. And that's never okay. Thanks to you who support me and live goes out to your Pit Bulls!! If anyone has a Facebook out here, I have an anti BSL page and I'm always looking for new people, positive bully stories and pictures. The page is called "Ban BSL!!-hate the deed, not the breeds!!- come check it out!!
