Isn't This What We Have All Been Saying?!
In 1991 it was made illegal to own a pit bull terrier type breed unless it was registered. If the dog was not registered in 1991 then it became an illegal dog, so any pit bull terrier type breed dogs less than 15-years-old will be illegal, said Melanie.
Because pit bull terriers and pit bull terrier types were outlawed 16 years ago they should, by 2007 no longer be around in this country.
Yet pit bull terrier type dogs are prevalent in Bolton and some are still bred for fighting.
Melanie blames the law on the prevalence of the dogs. "By banning them it made them more attractive to the wrong sort of people. It also meant the gene pool became smaller which resulted in a problem with temperament," she said.
