I use to have a list of the physical descripition 'experts' use to determine whether or not a dog is a pit and was gonna show it to someone, but I've lost it, does anyone have this list to hand by any chance?
The actual standard used is the ADBA breed standard published in the Pitbull Gazette 1977 and is a lot more detailed and verbose than the simplified version in the Defra document and also has the important distribution of points for the scoring system used to identlfy APBT here -60 out of a possible 100 is a pitbull type. I did have a link to a pdf of the original magazine and standard, but it no longer works and I can't find another one :-(
I thought you meant personally... ... I thought, not so much, though i could be described as stocky and have a reasonably good height to weight ratio... My hind legs are considerably stockier than my fore however. Though I have met those who seem much closer to the breed description... funnily enough they are usually on the other end of a lead from a dog of the same type
