Hello, A few days ago a boy came to me and my partners door with a dog that was shivering looked starved and scared. he asked if wee wanted her as he wanted rid of her and told us not to be scared to give her a boot.

As soon as he mentioned being violent to her my partner said wee would take her, as he could not bare someone being so cruel to an animal and was scared where she may end up.

Now were in a situation because wee dont know what she is. Wee think she is a cross between a pitbull and a staff. We live in scotland in a small village and their not alot of pitbulls around here.

i really want to take her to the vet and get her checked over, she is the lovelest kindest dog and all she needed was someone to give her love, now am scared to take her to vet incase they keep her and put her down.

i realy dont know what to do and would be greatfull if someone could give me advise. Should i take her to vet and they could give me advie or would they contact police. Or is it ok to have a cross between a staff and pitbull in scotland? We have never had a dog before and thought wee were doing a good thing taken her in, but now wee are a bit worried.

Thanks.

All pitbulls and pitbull crosses are banned in the UK.

A pit bull is a type of dog, not a breed. A staffie cross can be classed as a pit bull type in its own right.

Personally id get the dog checked over, and just call her a staffie cross and never utter the words "pit bull" again.

Wot she said.

I actually personally think I would be keeping quiet about the whole pit thing, BUT I would like to point out that we are advising someone to possibly be breaking the law so I think now that the owner has their answer this should be dropped IMO.

I concur but as a last word...

Pitbull crosses are not banned. Pitbull 'types' are but a pitbull/gsd, for example, may be perfectly legal depending on how it looks.
