Sick of breed ignorance!

First topic message reminder :

Warning - rant ahead! I am sick to death of hearing people (friends would you believe!) telling me how awful staffy's are !!! According to the world of ignorant people they are vicious, not family orientated, can't be controlled etc. I started defending staffy's before actually pity'g their ignorance. Do they really think I would buy a vicious dog, not raise it correctly as a pup (I could think of nothing worse than fearing my own dog !!), expose it to our kids, have everyone terrified when they come over to my house or out in public ? Surely my fiancee & I are smarter than that !!! Of course we (I, lol) researched the hell out of staffy's (& other breeds) before making the decision to spend nearly $2K on one & welcome him in to our family. TBH I am terrified of dogs I don't know and when we went to the breeder to see Koda for the 1st time I was all over the pups but terrified when they let their 4 full size staffy's out as they bound across their yard towards us at mach 10 (with big grins admittedly!), but within seconds they jumped up & were literally licking us to death. I fell in love with them then & there, there was no hesitation about welcoming Koda into our home at all. 1 friend is a cat person so IMO he has no say, and with another friend I am sure it's jealousy as when she came over last week she was very quick to pick him up & cuddle him repeatedly and talk in that 'baby' voice we all put on, although in all fairness I did at this point warn her about our vicious puppy and the ability he has to rip her face off at any time !!    Ok rant over, thanks for reading/listening. (deep breaths)

The Staffy has never been included in the 10 Most Dangerous Dog Breeds Based on Biting and Fatality Statistics.

I could not find any similar stats for Australia, seems they don't keep them.

Wow that's an interesting read! Thanks

Interesting, thanks for sharing!

Staffy, most tolerant at 84.5%, comes in at 6th overall.
