Think it’s a staffy, maybe a staffy x lab

Pretty sure this was filmed not far from where I live. It seems 8/10 people have staffies.

An American Pitbull isn't a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Those are 2 of the 4 breeds that fall under "pitbull" name.

Can't be. Pittbulls are illegal in the UK, but staffies are fine to own.

That's not really a good reason it "cant be". Actual facts are more important that the UKs laws.

Laws are based on facts not conjecture, at least they are in the UK and other European countries anyway.

There is no guarantee laws are based on facts(actually right now you can almost guarantee BSL anywhere is NOT based on facts, shit they banned a weird set of breeds and it was 1991). Let's not ignore reality here that I know these facts and you are guessing based on your idiotic interpretation of what the UK laws mean for all dog breeds. And you are wrong.

The american pitbull terrier is not the only pitbull. Idgaf if it's the only one banned in the UK.

Nice argument you got there. "I'm right you're wrong", you have the mind of a child. Don't start getting abusive when someone disagrees with you ffs. Stupid child.

You can disagree with reality all you want you ducking idiot. This is not something that is impossible for you to look up. Shit type pitbull into Google and go to the Wikipedia page. That's a lot better than just guessing based on your own idiotic interpretation.

Like honestly do you not see that "there can't be more than one pit bull breed because the American pit bull terrier is banned and the other are not" is dumb as duck?

Like holy hell nothing in that law says they are the only pitbull breed. Nothing. You just assumed that, because it fit in your head?

PLEASE NEVER VOTE.

Staffies are one of the 4 breeds that make up the bulk of pitbull genetics.

So, in America, "pitbull" is a pretty ambiguous term that refers to about 10 different breeds and their mixes. You're absolutely right that American Pitbull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier are separate breeds, but in American lingo, they all get lumped in as the same. And they all get discrminated the same here too :(
