Hey, Muskies Daddy:
Your dog is in fact classified as a pit bull.There has to be good reasons for the legislation with respect to your dog's breed.
A case in point: Summer 2008 - My sister is walking her Husky in North York. From almost two blocks away, a pit bull tears away from it's owner, and for no apparent reason, visciously attacks the Husky. Before my sister could do anything, the pit bull literally rips all the flesh from the front leg of the husky. My sister had to lay on top of her dog to prevent further injury to her pet. Of course, it goes without saying that the pit bull bit my sister as well.
This pit bull was in fact put to sleep following this incident. It cost my sister upwards of $20.000.00 for several surguries, skin grafting and therapy for her dog. While the dog seems to have recovered from her ordeal, she will never be quite the same.
You could say that this was an isolated incident, but I'm sure there have been numerous "isolated incidents" that have caused dogs such as yours to be banned.
