Totally don’t like this and secretly wish I could have the guts to report them. Would you?

Um. What?

TinyBarista · 07/04/2018 17:35

Are you missing out some useful details here...

SneakyGremlins · 07/04/2018 17:35

Why?

DaisyChainsForever · 07/04/2018 17:36

A female dog I assume? How many times has she done it?

1Strawberry · 07/04/2018 17:37

Are those the banned ones?

EdmundCleverClogs · 07/04/2018 17:38

How do you know they’re pit bulls?

ObiJuanKenobi · 07/04/2018 17:40

Please don't drip feed..

feathermucker · 07/04/2018 17:41

More details? How do you know it's a pit bull?

greendale17 · 07/04/2018 17:42

I would definitely report her. The dog is a banned breed and your neighbour knows it

tuttifritti · 07/04/2018 17:46

It would be irresponsible not to report her. Please do.

QuiteLikely5 · 07/04/2018 17:47

Report report report

101 do it tonight. They won’t know it was you.

Frequency · 07/04/2018 17:48
Hmm
picklemepopcorn · 07/04/2018 17:50

Report.

Ickyockycocky · 07/04/2018 17:51

How can you be sure it's a Pit bull?

NewYearNewMe18 · 07/04/2018 17:51

Highly unlikely it is a pit bull, not unless its 40 years old or she imported it.

ProjectMoose · 07/04/2018 17:51

Irresponsible of the owners, I love pits as much as any other dog but would be Hmm about a back street breeder having pups to make a quick buck.

Are you in the UK op? Pits can be kept as pets but there are certain things that have to be done to legally keep them although I see tonnes of people with them who almost certainly don't do those things!

I thought they were banned? They have a male and a female but the male is kept in a cage outside, is very agitated most of the time. I thought they were a banned breed in the uk? Confused

If it IS a pitbull then report it as it's a controlled breed and as far as I am aware any that are kept need to be registered, muzzled, and neutered.

jamoncrumpets · 07/04/2018 17:53

Are you sure it's not a staffie?

Gileswithachainsaw · 07/04/2018 17:53

Doesn't matter what breed they are if they are being kept in cages and bred then they need reporting :(

Poor things

HarrietSchulenberg · 07/04/2018 17:54

Need more info. How do you know it's a pitbull? How do you she's intentionally breeding as opposed to having an un-neutered female with an accidental pregnancy?

GreenTulips · 07/04/2018 17:55

It is a banned breed

Can you report anonymously on crime stoppers

Birdsgottafly · 07/04/2018 17:56

Report, just to be on the safe side.

I loathe back street breeders, the shelters are full of Staffie/Bull type dogs. None can be re-homed with children, so they languish in kennels until they are PTS.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 07/04/2018 17:58

There's a banned breed. Report to the police.

Nesssie · 07/04/2018 17:59

It is impossible for untrained people to tell the difference between a pitbull and a staffie. If it hasn’t caused you a problem then stay out of it.
