In what way have they 'wore in'?

Slight language barrier. In the UK it's generally a good thing when something wears in

Got 3 alloy shocks on the Marder and one stock jobbie......... dog grabbed one of the rear shocks and did her best to eat it.

Good job I love her or she'd be sold to the nearest kebab house.

I'm sure Aaron will give a better answer but IIRC you can own one if it's had it's love spuds sorted/neutered, it dresses like Hannibal Lecter in public and is covered for third party liability in case it eats someone.

Pit bulls have been banned in the UK since the passing of the Dangerous Dogs act of 1990.........

A new breed appeared in the UK in around 1991, it's called the Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier............ that's what this is, just couldn't be arsed writing all that!

I wonder if all the Pit Bulls in England dissappeared in 1990? Or did they just call themselves by a new name? lol

Nice dogs and children. Im into parrots and they would eat any thing including me given the chance. Years ago I had a cockatoo that could snap welded bars off his cage, he then almost removed half of my mothers ear.

In Denmark they also outlawed Pitt Bulls around then.....

But how do you document that it is a Pitt Bull, if it doesn't have a Pedigree?

We still have them, now the owners just say that they are not purebreds, but a mix of undefinable races. End Result: almost no impact, total waste of taxpayers money.

Since that looks very familiar to our dog, my first guess is a Siberian Husky. Next guess is an Alaskan Malamute

Being off on this post like it is, has made it a little more interesting and gives others a different look at the other posters lives besides their cars. Just hope the administrators do not take it off or block access.
