Staffords discrimination!  Empty Staffords discrimination!

Post by TedGrumble Mon Mar 23 2015, 19:04


I have a Staffordshire bull terrier. His name is Ted Grumble, he is 5months old.
Friday 20th March I was made to choose between my job and my dog.

I have owned dogs before and very sadly lost my two girls at the beginning of the year. My mum turned up the next day with my little man, he is my little angel. He was there for me straight away, my ray of sunshine and he came with so many soppy cuddles.
I fell in love straight away.
He is a little nutter at times but he is such a good boy really. He is full of love and he is so clever! Loves people and dogs (especially dogs!).


I was a dog groomer and got to take him to work with me every day, it was perfect for the both of us as the salon also did a dog day care. Ted quickly befriended all of the other dogs there (he defo had his favourites!). My boss however didn't seem to take much of a shine to him from the word 'GO' .. anyway the other day I was sat down and told I couldn't bring him basically because he is a staff and not a poodle and that him just being there would put customers off coming to the salon.
I was given the choice to carry on working solo or not to return.

So me and Ted walked out the door without a second thought.

I am in the process of becoming a dog walker/sitter which I'm sure my Ted will also enjoy!
I also want to be a part now in cleaning the Stafford's bad name and give them a good rep!

I want to get as many staffords (and who ever else would like to join) as possible meeting up every other month (whenever wink emoticon ), a massive group walk. So people can't miss us and they can see how gentle, playful, dopey, funny, cute and most of all.. how FRIENDLY they are.

Best of all it doesnt matter where you are because theres always a four legged friend near by.
Me and Ted are from South London, England so we would be looking for some buddy's down here. But PLEASE feel free to arrange a march where ever you are through this site

Please take a look at our facebook page, 'The march for Staffords'

From me and my lil man, Ted Grumble

Hi & Welcome to the Forum from Flo and me. So sorry to hear of your troubles. Unfortunately Staffy discrimination is all around us and me & my Flo aim to change perception one person at a time. We like to think we've made a positive start around our ways.

Hi from me & Katy, sorry they made you choose but its their loss (ignorant people) Having a staffie in the salon wouldn't make a blind bit of difference, my niece & her friend run a grooming salon with Monk the EBT wandering round the shop. They have customers coming in all the time & most of them own the little fluffy dogs!!!!

Hello and welcome from me and Pixee.
Your boss wants reporting, how, who to I dont know, but its a disgrace that hes got a dog salon and he treats another dog (your lovely staffie) like that, all it tells me is he does not care for dogs only the cash!
