As with all animals, if you do your duty and take responsibility, you will have an exceptional family pet. Staffys can be a bit funny around other dogs but this is no more (in my experience) than with other breeds. The unfortunate thing is, these idiots swaggering around busy town centres with them on huge chains are going to wipe the breed out. People are that stupid nowadays they seem to think if you ban staffys the louts will mend their ways and start reading the bible. lol. Tackle the problem you effing cowards and let the millions of true staffy owners enjoy the fun these energetic dogs bring. I'd ban the louts and the idiots screaming for a ban. I commend the RSPCA for this article. Finally a bit of COMMON SENSE. Regards, This discussion is well balanced and shows the true nature of these dogs.

I have to say that my lab x is more of a problem with other dogs than the staffie ever could be, and it has to be said the older he gets the worse he is getting. It does not matter how much or how we try to dicipline him he has a mind of his own and there are just certain types of dogs (mainly collies) that he simply hates with a passion!! She on the other hand loves everyone and everything, but other peoples perception when they see her bounding towards them is that she is going to attack because of the grunting noises she makes when running and the reputation they have picked up due to the amount of 'NEDS' that own these wonderful dogs. I wholly believe that it is not the dogs at fault, rather the idiot at the 'loop end' of the lead. I am not saying that all staffies are blameless or harmless, but for the majority of them with the correct training and a truly loving home they are one of the most dependable and loving dogs anyone could ever own.

(It's my wife's little baby). He is a great big blue dope. Everybody he meets is his bestest friend ever . (Not to happy about other dogs though). his smile is so broad you cant help but give him a kiss & cudde then laugh at him. His one failing is he can't stand to see any other animals in the garden. He even barks at birds sitting on overhead TV aerials. (Like I said, a dope). I have yet to meet a vicious staffie, though i've met a few snappy poodles and spaniels in my time. Blame the owner, not the breed. If you can't be bothered to train or control them or don't even want to, don't have any dog. i share a house with a staffie, in fact I'm his favourite toy.
