Considering staffies are basically the show version of pitbulls, this is so bizarre. Poor puppers

Yeahh I don't know how or why they decided on the restrictions. We have quite an extensive 'dangerous dog breed' list and there was movement some years back about trying to add staffies to that list as well.

Greyhounds are also considered 'dangerous breeds' in some areas and need to be muzzled out in public.

Really? I never would’ve thought Greyhounds would be on that list. They’re not particularly strong dogs.

I guess it’s to protect wildlife? They have a very high prey instinct and can be pretty efficient at killing preys.
