To satisfy the copywrite on the above I must mention at least 6 of the other 10 breeds
that are automatically declared dangerous under some Queensland Council Local Laws:

Anatolian Shepherds, Bull Mastiffs, Dobermans, German Shepherds,
Great Danes, Greyhounds, Maremmas, Neapolitan Mastiffs,
Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and Rottweilers.

I love the dog disguises! I have a Siberian Husky, and I've seen some city's proposed dog breed bans that included Huskies, although I don't recall ever hearing about a Husky attack.

There is a brindle Bullmastiff that lives up the road from me, as well as two Rottweilers, an American Staffordshire Terrier (what most people think of as the infamous Pit Bull Terrier), a German Shepherd, 3 Australian Shepherds and the rancher at the end of the road has two of those pretty white Maremmas that he treats like babies when he is not out working with them, and his sheep and goats. He will also shoot your dog if it gets loose on his property and runs his livestock, and rightly so.

The current most ill mannered and nasty dog on the road is a horrid French Bulldog that races savagely up and down it's fence snarling and snapping at everyone that comes by, but it would be given a pass by these stupid breed bans because it is small and cute. Most of us keep our dogs indoors when we are at work and can't watch them because people have been known to go to isolated areas and steal purebred dogs, but the huge fine for a loose dog is a fine deterent to keeping your dog on your property, too. Fine and jail irresponsible dog owners, period-I don't care if they have a doberman or a poodle, if it is terrorizing and biting and running loose, fine the crap out of the owner.

All these dogs are owned in Queensland. Further, the definition of a "pi bull" is much narrower than in North America. Local governments can declare any breed dangerous but it is usually after the dog has offended.
