Question for the dog lovers
OK, so the american pitt is on the dangerous dogs act.
However, does that just relate to breeding, or the dog in general? IE - I am walking down the street, pit bull on lead, muzzled, and it has been castrated.
Would it still be taken off me and destroyed?

Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and Amendment Act 1997
The DDA 1991 contains two main sections:
• Section 1 of the Act stipulates that owners of the ‘type of dog known as a pit bull terrier’ and three other breed types (Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Braziliero) have to fulfil certain strict requirements. These include keeping the dog muzzled and on a lead at all times in a public place, having the dog insured and neutered with the aim of the types becoming extinct in the UK. Owners of these dogs cannot give away or sell their dogs and any dog of a prescribed type had to fulfil all of the requirements of the DDA 1991 by November 1991 or their dog would become illegal. The dog also had to have its details registered on an ‘Index’ maintained by government. Any person who owned a dog of one of the types was committing an offence if the dog was not on the Index. Owners were also given the option of accepting a token compensation from the government for having their dogs voluntarily destroyed. Individuals of these breeds can be imported into Britain but cannot be registered and so are illegal as soon as they enter the country.

From what i can gather no it would not be, as the dangerous dogs act states that you cannot breed sell or give the animals away, but the question would probs be how you came to have it in your possesion as in theroy all the living pit bulls should have died out by now as the act was brought in around 1991 unless the dog is as old as the hills lol

(a) breed, or breed from, a dog to which this section applies;

The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 is the most prominent of the various laws that cover dog ownership in the UK.
The act bans the breeding and sale or exchange of four kinds of dog - pit bull terriers, Japanese Tosas, the Dogo Argentinos, and the Fila Brasileiros. Cross-breeds of those dogs are covered by the law.
