I don't think it can be as she tells us it is a rescued dog.....but I am sure she will enlighten you in the sweet bye and bye.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Having checked back....he is a Bull terrier.

[Accyexplorer]

Yes, hopefully she will enlighten me.
I'm only curious as Pitbull's grow upto 5 stone+ But you don't see many English bulls etc that grow so big.

As Margaret has said, if it was a banned dog the shelter wouldn't have rehomed it. They would have arranged for it to be "put to sleep"

Even if they thought it was a Staffordshire bull cross?
A easy mistake to make,especially in this status dog era.

It's kinda obvious to me but, can you pick the pit?

Pick the Pit - Can you find the Pitbull?

They`ll have better qualified people than me to decide, but yes I did.

I have already told you...it is a Bull terrier.

It doesn't matter about the facts, you can show them to him all day long.
This drama queen has picked on an innocent post from a member, he thinks he's being clever, he doesn't realise it's him he's showing up no-one else.

He wants a better standard of reply? He'd better consider putting on a better standard of post.

Here you are MrC.. I see Margaret has pointed you in the same direction.

People see what they want to see Margaret.

Cudgel was the wrong choice of words Margaret. Stout sticks would have been better.
Now now dont please take this as a "volte face" more commonly known as an "Accyexplorer" on the Accyweb

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, it probably was.
On talking to a few friends who are dog owners.....many of them do not use sticks to throw for their dogs....having been advised by vets that sticks can pose some health issues.....they have specific 'fetch' items for their pets.
Some who do carry a stick, tell me that it is the retrieve balls dropped in nettles.....or such inaccessible places....They had not thought any passer by would be intimidated by the carrying of such an item....innocent uses.
I guess the fact that the dogs they walk range from whippets to spaniels and JRT's might also have a bearing.
That said,all dogs have the potential(without the appropriate training and care) to return to the mentality of a pack animal....and that must always be borne in mind....the vast majority of pet dogs are loving and loyal.

Oh, and I reckon I am pretty observant.....especially when out on my own on the canal bank. You have to be aware of risks to your own personal safety. Something which would pose a threat to my safety.....a big dog with an owner with a big stick would definitely attract my attention.
I think my past life has made me 'risk assess' almost everything I do.

After googling it, it seems I've made a honest mistake M, I genuinely never heard them piggy dogs being called bull terriers (English bull terriers yes).

I thought bull terrier was a category of dogs which included pit 'bull terrier' Staffordshire 'bull terrier' etc.

Back into the Richard cranium category you go Less ...and I thought we had made a little progress.

Also,for the record, I wasn't picking on anyone it was a genuine mistake

There you go again, you make an unpopular and stupid post then back pedal in a feeble attempt to try to worm your way out of that hole you keep digging.

Might I suggest that not just you, (though in your case it should be compulsory), but all of us print the following out and cover our keyboards with it?

.

I have never seen them as intimidating Margaret.
And no I am not frightened of dogs.
If I met Widow Saverini and Semillante on the canal bank one dark night I might rethink that though.
Accyexplorer posits they are breaking sticks maybe?
Think I agree.
