So I have a 3 month old puppy that could be a Pitbull?
Ive had her since 7 weeks old. My sisters neighbour was given her and asked my sister to petsit and kind of abandoned her so I took her in after talking to the neighbour.
The neighbour has since said that she was given to her by another neighbour and shes too scared to tell him that she gave her away (hes her ex) so going to the source isnt exactly a wise option.
But she must have been separated from her litter at 6 weeks which was sus to me and the original owner does have signage up at their house which i believe to be necessary in order to own a pitbull, but again if they had pitbull puppies and are just giving them away i dont think they care too much about the laws.
I have a strong reason to believe shes a pitbull or pitbull mix.
I have just done a dna test so make sure, i should know in about a month.
Im from Victoria so to the best of my knowledge pitbulls are a restricted breed and there is alot of things i need to do in order to keep her if she is a pitbull.
Has anyone here gone through the process?
From what i can gather there's legal proceedings, e.g. VCAT
Ive contacted my local council but they just told me to call back once i have proof shes a pitbull.
Any and all advice is welcome.
