Ignorance is bliss?
I was in Pets at Home the other day with Doug to get him a harness when 2 young girls came in, 1 with a tiny puppy in her jumper! He was the cutest lil fella I've seen in a long time. Our conversation went a little like this:
Me: Oh what a cute little guy! How old is he?
Girl: 10 weeks!
Me: Wow! He's a little Staffordshire Bull Terrior isn't he? What's his name?
Girl: No he's a Staffy
Me: It's the same thing. Staffy is short for SBT.
Girl: No he's a full bred, A SBT is a cross with a Pit Bull (!!!)
Lady that works in shop: No darling a Stafforshire Bull Terrior is the full name for a Staffy. That dog (pointing to Doug) is the same as your's. A pit bull cross is something totally different.
I had no words at this point

Re: Ignorance is bliss?
Oooooh! So all this time I've had it wrong! I never did have a pure bred because he was a staffordshire bull terrier and not a staffy!
At least I know now!

Didn't you know that? Staffies and Staffordshire Bull Terriers look exactly the same but they're actually not. Common knowledge!

Ill take a wild stab and guess they got it from a byb or a "mate" and will give it away within 3 weeks.

Good to see she did her research before deciding on the breed she was taking on.
