ok, thanks.
I am in australia, and i have to laugh because you call them ranches. Got nothing against it. It just amuses me because here it is called stations and ranch is so different.
I dont think Fila's are banned here because there is a woman we know that owns a fila coss. but im looking it up now. (its sad though. the wife of the man that owns this dog is recking it, apparently it is scared of everything and because it is big and she has no control over it, the dog rules supreme, but that is only what my parents have told me they have seen)
ok, i have just found something on the net saying that we have banned filas "bloody government!"
and this was at the bottom.
QUEENSLAND
URGENT
Queensland Government has proposed bans on dogs of pitbull type.
Even if you do not own a pitbull or support them, you should be wary of any law worded " that it is a crossbreed or offspring of a dog of a breed or type mentioned in paragraph (a) (b) or (c) whether or not THE DOG APPEARS TO BE A DOG OF THAT TYPE OR BREED".
Please read the proposed legislation in full at http//www.dlgp.qld.gov.au
If you disagree with this legislation please make a submission to the Queensland Government by November 2, 2001.
so thats a few years ago, but god... everyone takes great delight in hating pitties. I dont think I would ever get one, They just dont do it for me but, hey, its no there fault they are a breed. that is like going back to when "if they arnt white they are a slave" makes me mad... thats not a quote just wanted to highlight it
anyway. she used to have a bully/boxer and she was lovely. unfortunately she dies very young, but she was the est dog. she could be walked anywher off a leash
