Pitbulls were banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act in the 1990s
A woman who was unaware that pitbull terriers are a banned breed in the UK has had a court order and strict conditions placed on her dog.
Ms Barnes said when she told her daughter she would take Lucky back her daughter said she would instead give him to someone else living on the army base. The pair fell out and in April of this year Ms Barnes’ daughter took Lucky to a rescue centre and left him there. Alice Cocker, a solicitor at Greater Manchester Police, told the court Lucky was a ‘prohibited’ breed of pitbull terrier meaning a destruction order would need to be made or a contingent destruction order if the dog was deemed not a danger to public safety.
Ms Cocker told the court that Lucky accumulated a bill of £2,009 while he was in the kennels plus a fee of £266 to be neutered.
