No Staffordshire Bull Terriers are not banned in the UK, they are a different breed to the American Pit Bull.

It would seem so, but any breed with "Staffordshire" in the name is covered by the vast majority of breed-specific rules in the US.

Personally I think it's all pretty stupid. Pit bulls in particular are not the problem. All breeds have violence in them, and pit bulls are vilified because they remind "dog people" of what really lies in the hearts of their so-called furbabies.
