I believe that Lennox just resembles a pitbull. Your right Joan it is a very dumb law. We have two dobermans which at one time was at the top of the hit list. People get these breeds - pitbulls, dobermans, german shepherds for some type of "status" then they mistreat them and yes the animal does become dangerous but whose fault is that! You can do the same thing with a chihuahua but obviously his bite wouldn't be as effect as a big breed.
They did bring in legislation in Ireland but they really have no set standard as to how and determine the breed. Just better hope your not feuding with your neighbour and your dog may somewhat resemble a pitbull.

Does Lennox just resemble a pit bull or is he a pit bull? What a dumb law anyway. You can't euthanize an entire breed. If Lennox didn't attack anyone, they have no reason for doing this. Is there a law that states no one can have a pit bull in Ireland? This sounds hideous. I'd put a posse together and go get him.
