I am wondering what professional body can determine if a pit bull is a pit bull and what documentation is needed as proof of this. I'm kinda confused on this. I followed the Lily story and that case was won with a lot of hard work, but it seems that they did not accept the 3 veterinarians' findings that Lily was indeed not a pitbull, as the owner had said and had written proof of.
These folks had to bend over backward to prove that the dog was not a pitbull, even with, what I would consider, was ample and definite proof.
Who does one turn to to prove what breed of dog they own? Is documentation from a vet not substantial enough? Is there a professional body out there that people can turn to if they are "accused" of owning a pbull? Does one person's opinion override another professionals' opinion??
Seeing as the onus is on the owner to prove what breed of dog they have, people are going to need to know who they can turn to to find this out and have it in writing legally.
Aaaauuuuggghhh! :pawprint:
