A little info on the breed for those that think they're pit's::
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier was developed in the region of Staffordshire, England in the nineteenth century from crosses between Bulldogs and various Terriers. The Staffordshire Bull was developed for the then-popular sport of bull baiting. The breed's popularity waned as interest in the sport waned. Irish breeders then attempted to create a taller and leaner type of dog that could be used primarily for dog fighting. When dog fighting was banned the breed became rare although it is becoming more and more popular now. These days the breed is used mainly as pets however there are some owners who use the breed for jumping and weight pulling competition as athletics is where this breed excels. The Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier is not a dog for every family, but in the hands of a dominant, experienced owner; it can be a successful pet and family guardian.
thank you
beautiful dog btw.

He's certainly a very handsome boy
The photo looks like it could be a little sharper - I can't work out if the problem is focus being out or camera shake. For a web sized shot (Say 800 pixels) you could maybe run some sharpening on it
Sadly it doesn't matter what the actual breed is to fall foul of the UK law, so if people are doing this then they are more than a little naive.

Just realised you have edits ticked when I posted.
I had a very quick meddle
Two stages of sharpening and some levels tweaks. A bit overcooked for my usual tastes but this was to overcome the softness.
