Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier
|
| The Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a hoax species of dog that is almost identical to the American Pit Bull Terrier. This faux name came into use in Britain in order to get around "the law banning American pit bull terriers". These dogs are then used to "fuel the return of dog fighting to levels last seen in the 1980s before the Dangerous Dogs Act was enforced." The RSPCA does not recognize this species as legitimate and separate from its American counterpart. However, the naming has since been accepted and utilized in most media when referring to pit bull terriers found in Britain. The breed itself is also on a list of four breeds that are banned in the UK. and are "destroyed" whenever a dog is confirmed to be one of the banned breeds. |
