Hello, there are currently four 'types' of dog in the dangerous dogs act these are the pit bull 'type', the Tosa (Japanese Mastiff), Dogo Argentino (Argentine Mastiff) and the Fila Brasilero (Brazilian Mastiff). Please note these are 'types' and so would include dogs that have the characteristics of them i.e. one of the parents etc. These types are generally very different even from eachother as they have traditionally been used for fighting and are bred to try to improve certain abilities.
