how much, how much, how much

why is it when i take my pup for a walk people always seem to ask how much i paid for her.

i mean does it really matter wether it was £1 or £10,000, ive been asked 3 times so far and maybe its just me gettin old a miserable but it really annoys me, one woman who asked said " lovely staff, how much did you pay for her, cause my friends was only £150 from the gypsy campsite".

i told her that it does not matter the amount i paid or didnt pay but however much it was i will get back in love and kisses.

Another who had her baby with her asked "how much was that?"
i answered " how much has your baby cost so far"
then the cheeky sod said " you do know they attack dont you"
So i said "well if thats the case i wouldnt stand so close to her"

she then just walked of shaking her head, but what she didnt notice was roxy was just sat there the whole time not moving, and didnt move until i said ok

and thats the other thing thats annoys me.... the so called staffy image

I know its mostly down to the media but why do people think that because a few dogs attacked someone then the whole breed are like it.

a lady showed me a little scar on her arm that was caused by a bull terrier of some sort but she did say she didnt think it was a staff, so i showed her my scar on my leg which is alot worse than hers which was done by a family pet and he was a labrodor.
people dont seem to realise that if there are many more of one breed then obviously the bite rate will go up, i can remember years ago when it was alsations that were "dangerous" then rottweilers and now staffs.

i saw an article in the paper a few weeks back that someone was attacked by a dog and it wasnt right until the end that they said it was a labrodor, no evil looking pics of the dog or nothing.
a simular article some attacked by a staff and guess what it said in big bold lettering right next to a picture of a not so friendly looking staffy.

sorry for the rant

Eugh!!! i cant stand people like this! .. "you do know they attack dont you"? well if thats the case why you still standing there and my dog is sitting so calmly! lol .. some people are rediculous.

This happened to me yesterday and some chavs wanted to buy Jett off me,they said their friends staff just had pups and they were being sold for £500 my reply was simply "buy one of theirs then!"

Eugh! when i took my 2 to the fields y.day they were been eyed up on the way back by a group of 4 lads .. i shouted over gotta problem!!?? .. They went are they staff's, i replied well done gold star for you!

my nan once tried to sell Woody at the car boot when we had gone to visit her, dozy old dear had no idea and was only charging £100, think one guy thought it was serious and i had to step in!!!

I'm telling people I got him for free. We did pay quite a bit for Jimi but I don't want anyone to know how much.

What plonkers, but you do get em, Moo, £100 donation to charity

It really isnt anyone elses buisness how much you paid for your dogs tell them to sod off :-\\
Most passers by just ask me are they freindly so they can have a stroke, sometimes I get asked what the dog is mixed with

some people are so nosey aren't they..Regardless of how much they cost to buy, I would not sell Jethro or Winston if you wrote out a cheque for a million dollars !

Just think what it's like for me............there are no other BTs around here, but plenty of would-be-BT-owners. Every one of them at some time has asked how much Dempsey cost. I daren't say how much or he'd be stolen!

I used to say I'd got him free cause he was the runt & not a show specimen.

Isn't it terrible Caryll that there are such low life scum that would steal your pet..

I know - trouble is, most of them know that a bull terrier costs more than a staff (cause there aren't as many of them) so they just think about making a quick £.

I just got asked how much she was -.- I was like why am I gonna tell you and walked off I was carrying her because she can't go on the floor yet shes a real chick magnet
