Funny, I will replace my dog with a bully breed again. I truly love them. I will walk them in public, have him in my backyard and fight with whomever will try and take that dog away from me. I get the odd comment form ognorant people when i walk him now, that will never change wether its 1 year or 20 years from now. It doesnt bother me anymore, I used to stop and give them a peice of my mind, but I dont even bother with their ignorance anymore. The Ban has just added fuel for these people. I was hiking with both the husky and staff near my house, we bumped into a rotweiler...off leash. The dog charged at us, he came after Mac, I had to pull him away from being attacked and the owner gave ME s*** for not muzzling my 'pitbull'. I told her, he isnt a pitbull, and you should really have your dog on a leash if he doesnt obey your commands. Both of my dogs were on leashes BTW.

Thats a big thing that bothers me about this ban...how the fawk are you suppose to socialise your Bull breed when it isnt allowed in parks, can't be off leash, has to be muzzled...etc. This dog requires serious socialisation at a very young age, yet this law prevents responsible owners from doing just that. How is it helping the situation?
