OMG, how can this be?? Are the dogs tested to see if the Pit Bull gene is in them? Even so, these are just puppies, with the right up bringing they could have been wonderful. All dogs / breeds can be dangerous if they have idiot owners. I have two Staffi crosses and We are always praised how well behaved our dogs are because we have trained them well. This is such a waste of life of beautiful pups. I am writing this in tears with my two Staffi's cuddled into me (both of which are rescue dogs). It makes me realise how lucky I am to have them.

So sad poor pups. I wish the law would change, and people were more responsible.

Absolutely gutted and in tears... Yes with the right upbringing these dogs would be ok.. It is all about how you train them and how you are with them..

Like all Council run pounds, the Home is inspected very regularly by a specially trained Police officer who assesses each dog as to whether they are 'type' under the Dangerous Dogs Act. The Act prohibits 4 types of dogs and it is illegal to own them without specific exemption from a court. The dogs are judged on their physical characteristics and whether they match the description of a prohibited 'type' if so the dog is PTS. This is happening in pounds all across the country. A great number of people are campaigning to have this law changed, arguing that it is the owners that produce dangerous dogs, not the actual breed itself. One of the best known and most influential is Breed Not Deed, please take a moment to check out their page here www.deednotbreed.org.uk/

Can someone please tell me why CDH put dogs on the website before they have been 'assessed'?
