Are you 100% it was a American pit bull terrier ?.Coz some of the recent import mastiff breeds have cropped ear but this is nothing to do with fighting.
It's just somthing done for the breed in the county they came from.

A UK member on here got a mastiff breed I beleave.From South Africa i beleave.When he/she got the dog it was ear cropped.

I suppose. We were pretty sure anyway, always a chance we were mistaken, but I'd have put money on it.

Plenty of retards in this country claiming their dogs are "pit bulls" when they're not. I don't know why any loving owner would want to admit it if they were, it's only tits that think they're hard that say they have one. Makes them feel less of a tit for paying through the nose for a mongrel.

I agree, if you cared for your dog, you wouldn't go around syaing it's a pit bull, one whiff from the Authorities and it's PTS.

The presa is a mastiff that when imported has its ears cropped. I have 1 but not an import and iv had people ask me if thats what he is, when clearly he's not.
There are alot and i mean alot of pits still over here, being sold under different names such as the red nose staff, american red nose to ry and cover up. If im n ot mistaken a true well breed staff should have a black nose no matter if their colour. That program that was on the other night 7 dogs for 7 people featuring staffs, had red noses on it so reallt they should not have had them. Like people say its a shame they have the name they have and yes its mainly down to the owner, but its also breed into them and some times is not ALWAYS the owners fault.
There are lots imported from ireland and other countrys and get in with no probs as its down on their documents that they are staff crosses, alot of the time its down that their crossed with labs as someone stated earlier.
Its a shame that people are now crossing staff and pitts with mastiffs to make bigger more powerfull dogs which being a mastiff owner is such a shame as they dont need a bad name aswell they are gengle giants, most of the time.

Completely agree with this comment.

I own a doberman and a staffy and the K**bs who hang around at the shops with there mongrels always try and set there dog on to mine. These people need to be put to sleep not the dogs.

Also i think you should have to own dog licenses like you did many years ago, i know it would not stop the k**bs getting these types of dogs but would make it harder to sell/advertise to sell dogs if you had to prove you were aloud to own dogs and had been checked out.

Also think they should be a age limit to own certain types of dogs so they do not get mis treated and brought up wrongly may be this would have stopped certain dog breeds getting banned. IT IS NOT THE DOGS FAULT IT IS THE WAY THEY ARE BROUGHT UP THEY ONLY DO WHAT THEY ARE ASK TO DO!!!

When a say not always the owners fault, i mean you could get a dog in good will to be a pet but its how theyve been breed, so yes its the persons fault but the breeder not always the owner.
