American Pit Bull Terriers are one of four breeds of dogs banned in New Zealand which means that they can longer be imported or mated or registered with the NZ Kennel Club. That hasn't entirely stopped all the Pit Bill mixtures from springing up - they are often called Staffordshire Bull Terrier-crosses so that the Pit Bull content is 'hidden.'
Irrespective of what Clogs has said, the biggest by far breed of dog in NZ is the Labrador and the Labrador-cross.
Some people within the dog community feel that all breeds of dogs that are noted for locking their jaws on other dogs should be muzzled in public and at public places.
Generally speaking, Pit Bulls/American Staffordshire Terriers are a breed of dog to be feared by other less potentially aggressive dogs and less powerful fighting dogs.
