> The point being, (and please review my profile page) many folks over here and, I now really suspect in New Zealand as well, cannot tell what exactly a so-called “pitbull” actually looks like.
“Pit Bulls” are not a breed, as I have said for a very long time on many threads. They are a mungrel aggregation of random dogs bred for vicious temperament, usually by NZ motorcycle gangs, often for fighting and always for intimidation purposes. They are virtually untrainable and they have no merit.
None of the dogs on your profile page are “Pit Bulls” as I would understand the term.

Incidentally, I reviewed your profile page and see that you describe yourself as "extremely patriotic." During Vietnam (yes, I am that old) I was associated (no combat) with some Kiwis of the 1st Batt. Royal NZ Infantry Regiment (they still feature red square diamond insignia on their uniform, I believe) in DaNang. They were very professional soldiers and a credit to their country. NZ also sent in an artillery battery somewhere down south of the country (one of the providences) which was extremely effective in keeping many Americans alive today.
