Can't believe what the so called pet behaviour counsellor says about bullies    More negative propaganda.

Not good   

I'm no expert on identifying dog breeds but that dog looks more like an American Bull Dog than a Pit Bull, are these people that hopeless at identification ?, how do they keep their jobs.

Below an extract from Dog Breed Info Centre:

Temperament

The American Bulldog is loyal, reliable, brave and determined. Not a hostile dog. Alert and self-confident, this breed genuinely loves children. It is known for its acts of heroism toward its master. It has strong protective instincts, and needs a firm, confident, consistent pack leader. Well-socialize and obedience train them at an early age, to prevent them from becoming reserved with strangers. Without that strong-minded pack leader who can tell the dog what is expected of it, it may be aggressive with other dogs. They need to be around people and know their place in their pack to be truly happy. This breed tends to drool and slobber. Without enough daily mental and physical exercise they will become high strung and may become hard to handle.

From its face alone it does indeed look like the picture you have posted. I'm not surprised that the authorities have named it a pitbull though, its the easy option and one the papers were already assuming.

certainly looks like a scott type ambull to me and is a splitting image of chance
