No, nor the vulnerable one, either.... or did you mean "venerable"? G Wonder what a Climber Spaniel does - goes up the trees after the birds? Suppose you could get that, if you crossed in Jack Russells.... BTW, Alison, I only commented on it because I suspect that even in this NG, there are people who don't know there IS such a thing as a Clumber Spaniel... well, and because "Climber Spaniel" *does* lend itself to funny mental pictures. :-) |

He's a dog that climbs down cliffs to rescue people and he carries climbing gear and a fold up ladder.BG BTW, Alison, I only commented on it because I suspect that even in this NG, there are people who don't know there IS such a thing as a Clumber Spaniel... well, and because "Climber Spaniel" *does* lend itself to funny mental pictures. :-) I'm glad you pointed it out , I hadn't noticed. I posted that to loads of other groups and forums too !,sigh Alison |

PS I don't think Am staffs are banned in the UK , They advertise them in the Exchange and Mart, which is not good for the breed or individual dog it seems like it might be open to interpretation... http://www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1991...en_2.htm#mdiv1 Dogs bred for fighting. 1.-(1) This section applies to- (a) any dog of the type known as the pit bull terrier; (b) any dog of the type known as the Japanese tosa; and (c) any dog of any type designated for the purposes of this section by an order of the Secretary of State, being a type appearing to him to be bred for fighting or to have the characteristics of a type bred for that purpose. that seems like it could cover AmStaffs, or perhaps people use the name AmStaff to get around the regulation... vague laws like this are what make BSL so innefectual, IMO. oh, interestingly, most dangerous dog bans in the US include Staffies as dangerous. :-) -kelly |

But pitbulls as a breed would die out here under those rules. If Am Staffs aren't subject to neutering and muzzling, then I would think they would be allowed into the country. There's a Staffie on every corner where I live, I can't imagine them being dangerous! How different is US the dangerous dogs act or ban different from the UK one. Is any breed of dog banned from the US ? Alison |

Alison said in rec.pets.dogs.breeds:
There's a Staffie on every corner where I live, I can't imagine them being dangerous! Perhaps that's why Staffordshire Bull Terriers aren't part of the UK breed ban, it would be politically damning. How different is US the dangerous dogs act or ban different from the UK one. Is any breed of dog banned from the US ? It's regional. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 21:33:27 +0100 Alison whittled these words:
How different is US the dangerous dogs act or ban different from the UK one. There is no ban at the federal level. VArious citites and towns address dangerous dog issues in various ways. Some by breed type as in the UK, some by registered breeding, some in a kind of middle ground, the vast majority deal purly with actual behavior, not noting breed at all. Is any breed of dog banned from the US ? No. There are some communities banning breeds, and a few bsanning by breed type. There is no nationwide treatment of dog behavior in any regard. Federal law (national law) does not even address actual vicious or dangerous dogs nevermind presuming one to be so. That is consistent with our legal system. Most laws are at the state level, individual cities/townships/counties can have their own regulations. The general social values of the US is that one does not judge an individual by making presumptions based upon race/breeding/class. Obviously this is not universal in the US but it is strong enough that a state like California has a law that probibits local communities from creating breed specific legislation. California law requires that dogs be judged on observed behavior, not breed based presumptions. -- Diane Blackman http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplay.com/Shop/ |

"culprit" wrote in message today, AmStaffs and APBTs are illegal in the UK (they're dangerous, doncha know), but Staffy's aren't, and are popular dogs for children. whew any questions? :-) They're not going to be on the list of vunerable *British* breeds are they ! The Kennel club has a strict criteria for recognising a breed. JRT are not recognised (, only Parsons are. But if it was a true reflection of vulnerable breeds, between the IKC and the EKC, then numbers wise the Jack Russell should be on the list with regard to the number registered each year |
