yes sum people should deff not own the breed.Quote:
My 2 cents, We had akc staffashire terriers back in the 80s before the big boom of the type dog..These registered dogs where very uniform in type..
Petey off the lil rascals was the one of the 1st registered back in the 40s..
They are an admirable breed and love human relations, but they belong to the terrier group..This is what has caused all the problems, most/all terriers are go to ground animals..It is what they have been bred for..My male staff would make chips of pvc pipe because rodents ran thru it..Its in their DNA to be gamey..Couple this with the macho human type and thats where the problem lies..Now its bred so widely that uniformity is not as common as it was..We have 2 next door and the male of roughly 40 lbs would like nothing better than to fight with our mastiffs..The animal is a nuerotic mess from being raised on a chain..While an admirable breed with many uses,hog hunting,weight pulling etc many a person with one should have gotten something other than because it is an animal they are not capable of caring for properly..Like my neighbors..:salute:
