I get a question about what happends with Amstaffs in Norway. I was on the site www.nkk.no and tried to read about it. I´m from Sweden but couldn´t really understand the norwich language, but in Sweden there is a big show this weekend and I will visit it. To this shows often people come from just Norway and I will ask them what is happening. After I can se if I can get you some information. I will be back on this forum. Carina |

Hi An update on the BSL situation in Norway: We do not yet know wether or not the AmStaff and the StaffBull will be forbidden by law in Norway.  We will know this at the 15th May as the proposal for the new dog law legislation will be final and ready for evt. approval. It does however look somewhat brighter for us  , and I sincerely hope our politicians have come to their senses and realized one must punish the deed and not the breed. A politician in the Department of Justice said to the press that he had never gotten so many e-mail, letters, phones etc concerning a new law proposal as this dow law legislation. This is good I think!:-) I'll let you know more after 15th May. Regards, Ingunn Ebbesvik (Norway) www.ingunn.has.it/ |

Today has been a terribly sad day for AmStaff owners in Norway. It seems like the AmStaff will be the only dog breed forbidden by law ine the new dog law proposal. The Staffodshire Bull Terrier is not to be forbidden, only the AmStaffs.  The different newspapers seems to disagree on which breeds are actually going to be banned, but I am afraid the future does not look bright for us here. The Final law proposal will be made clear on monday 19.May. It just very very sad to be Norwegian now, I am ashamed of my country, and are already planning to leave the country for good. No way am I going to live in a country where my beloved companions will be seen upon as unwanted and illegal dogs -Ingunn- |

Hello ingunn, It has been a shock for me too to read your message on the board here. I don't think my hope will be enough to overcome this bad news. Is there nobody wieser than that in Norway? I though Norway was a civilized country. Why did it have to happen? I don't understand.  Dakota |
