Lol, you do know Staffies are good natured dogs that love children don't you?
Someone's being watching too much TV news showing chavs making their Staffies fight each other. Well obviously dogs of any bread made to do that will likely be vicious. Nothing to do with the bread though. No dog should be left unsupervised around children. |

Staffies get such a bad rap. Usually because of the ned brigade who are attracted to them because they think they look hard.
There are far more bad owners than bad dogs. Speaking purely from my own experience on many a dog walk, I've met nippy terriers, sleekit collies, sweet akitas, cuddly mastiffs. There are good and bad dogs in every breed. In all honesty I've yet to meet a dodgy staffie. I know 3 rescue staffies who are the sweetest dogs, just happy to be in a loving home. One was nearly stolen a fortnight ago. Gypsies walked in the garden and when the woman I know asked what they were doing, they announced they were "taking your dog". She grabbed him, ran inside and locked up but they hung around for a good 20 minutes after that. The tragic thing is, you can guarantee that anyone stealing a Staffie doesn't want a family pet. They want it for breeding purposes or to use as bait in dog fights. I don't understand how someone can state that this is "GOOD". ![]() Bad dogs are rare, bad owners are sadly all too common. Blame the deed not the breed. Oh just give it up. It is so cliche. |

I don't know why anyone would take pleasure from a family having their dog stolen, when there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the dog isn't loved or isn't being looked after properly.
A man not far away has a Puli - that dog would have the skin off you, but only because it will lick you for as long as you'll let it. The chihuahua at the other end of my road is the most vicious dog I've ever met - if it's in the mood it will jump onto the wall outside its home & anyone walking past is likely to have it bark very aggressively at them. The owner has it on a lead when he takes him for a walk, & it stretches for your calves & ankles as you go past. I heard of a man throwing it out of fear because the dog was loose in the local park, charged at his toddler & knocked her over - it was the only way to get the dog off his child, who was terrified. Every dog has the potential to be a nasty piece of work, & that's to do with how it's looked after. |

You wouldn't be able to throw a staffy (or take control of the situation) in the same way. One swift kick to a chihuahua and that'll stop it's yapping permenantly. |

My dog's the friendliest dog in the world, but I'd never leave her alone with children. Because I don't trust children.

I have both.Quote:
If so, would it only be particular breeds you'd consider.
Aye, like any responsible dog owner, I researched what breeds would fit my lifestyle. I also chose a rescue dog over a puppy. If you choose to take on a rescue dog they are generally assessed to match the right family circumstances with the right dog.Preston, I do apologise for the cheesey cliche (Dammit how do you do the accent symbol on this KB?!). I stand by the rest of my post though.

Hello,
What a great looking animal, I hope they find Buster soon. I hope they had him micro chipped. |

Agreed.
The only dog I've ever been scared of was a Yorkshire Terrier. Tiny wee thing, but by Gods it was game. It had *Wee Dog Syndrome*, teeth like needles and psychopathic tendencies.

I agree with the sentiment of this post. More often than not the owners are to blame for aggressive dogs, it's all about the environment in which they are raised, a bit like children.

Never mind this guy's stupid mutt (which someone is probably pouring soy sauce over right now), THIS thread about arrogant idiots driving while on their mobile phones is far more important... http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1255723 |

I must admit I try and keep the Dog I walk away from Staffies.
They're hyper and they make her hyper, she twirls round and round on the leash, bouncing about and the Staffies usually follow suit. Loses her mind in excitement. Well I've known lots of Families with Staffs and children of various ages over the years. I find they're very forgiving of clumsy children, it's still attention as far as their concerned. Early training and socialisation. |

No dog should be left unsupervised around children. I never said dogs should be left unsupervised around children If you want to go on believing the crap fed to you by the media that's up to you. It is far from the truth however. |

To take pleasure in someone having their dog stolen is totally awful, 99% of dogs regardless of breed are fantastic family pets, it's the owners that cause the problems through lack of knowledge on a dogs / puppies needs.
There must be millions of dogs in this country and it is a tiny percentage who cause a fatality and if you look at the circumstances they have all been caused through owner negligence. Yes i have a child and a dog, i have a mastiff which is far more powerful than a staffy just not as tenacious as no terrier in the breed, he is amazing with my son and they love each other to pieces but i am constantly vigilant when the two are together and would not leave them together. I would be devastated if he was stolen especially as he now has epilepsy and would not get the care or diet he needs |

I trust my dog 100 %.
I have had other dogs and they have attacked me, but not my current one. |

I don't know why people have got strong dogs around children, when there are many other weaker dogs around (ie. dogs without powerful jaws that are difficult to seperate). Sometimes I think it's the owner thinking I want it, so I'm going to have it regardless. |

But i know that one day he might now since his fits and i have no idea what they are doing to his brain but every risk is as minimal as it can get and i have made a choice. If i see his personailty change from the most gentle dog i have ever met i may have to consider rehoming him to a person with no children, it would break my heart but my childs welfare comes first. Hopefully it will never come to that. |

This is a stupid thread. The OP is a moron.
No dog should be left unattended round a child; it doesn't matter whether it's a Staff, a Labrador, or a Chihuahua. You just don't do it. Also, no-one deserves to have their pet stolen, just because you disapprove of it. FFS, get off your high horse, OP. |
