I would assume that the owners of this dog (despite Jimmy painting them as knuckle dragging idiots) have accepted the dog with all its faults.

I apologise for my lazy assumption that the dog or its owners were in some way defective. I had just been reading about how breeding and trade in Bully XL dogs (another variation of Staffy) has been banned in England, leading to them all shifting to Scotland where no such ban exists.

I also included a very positive review of AmStaffs (as they are known) in the introduction to the Forum roundup.  I guess what is needed here is an independent assessment of individual dogs in any potentially dangerous situations – such as, in a lift with a smaller dog.

I included my comments about cats to show that there is a lot of leeway afforded dogs by the law.  I think it’s a bit much to extend that to imply that wandering felines deserve whatever they get.
