You are all turning me

I am normally a mellow person but compleated a telephone audit before for a company who may do some work for me at home wont say who they are asked numerous questions then asked if I had any dangerous dogs I asked what she considered dangerous dogs to which she repliyed staffys and other types like that. Told her yeh we have a staffy and she is not dangerous at all, that was it lost it with her and put fone down. Put it this way they lost my buisness

ooo dear why did they ask if you had a dangerous dog for?

Because they are coming into the house to do some work

I dont blame u these uneducated people dont have a clue what gives them the right to ask if u have dangerous dogs

Just seems mad I have never been asked anything like that and then we get a staffy and they ask must be a new thing

so people are funny......

They are going to lose alot of business that way! Thats completely ridiculous! Some people make me so mad.

I thought that

Wow. Such ignorance!

Some time ago, when we first had Bandit (he was only about a year old) there were no other Staffords in our area (Ealing, London). Seems strange now, but staffords weren't all that popular then. Anyway, a lady stopped me and asked if she could stroke the 'lovely doggy' & I said yes, of course, he's quite friendly. Well, she stroked him & thought he was a cracking dog & then asked what sort of cross-breed he was. I indignantly told her he was most certainly NOT a cross-breed, but a pedigree Staffordshire Bull Terrier!

There followed a small scream, a hasty backing away & a rather shaky "but they're all vicious, aren't they?" I mean, for pity's sake, she'd been stroking him for the last 10 minutes!

Dont no how I would handle it, it was bad enough on fone not face to face

I just tell people that i have 2 dogs and they will be locked up while they are here. No problems. I would contact the company(if u know their details) and tell them about the rudeness and about how your dog really is.

I'd agree with that - they should know that they've lost business & why.

some people are so ignorant when it comes to staffys. as i said before if you want too know me come live me.

we r having are kitchen done at the moment and when we had the sparkys in he said he liked dogs etc so i let them in to meet them i warned them they may jump a little, anyway one of the sparkys ran across the room literally screaming i hate them dogs!!! haha it was quite amusing. Luckily the other builders etc have been brilliant and as we speak Ty is sitting watching them, he would be an ideal dog 2 take to wok, kaos is with us he's a bit hyper lol x
