Big compliment, so proud !

Saturday afternoon means puppy classes.
One of the instructors was talking to each one of us in turn, discussing our canine friends and how we can address our problems.
When she got to us, she crouched down to pet a very human friendly Nifty, looked at me and said that she was a great little dog before walking away to the next couple

I’m so proud of Nifty

You are a great ambassador to the breed Nifty, well done

Well done you and Nifty.

Well done Nifty, trainer obviously knows a great breed when she sees it

Well clearly it's obvious but great for her to say it!

This is lovely :-)

Well done Nifty!

I am so proud of her !
Only compliments on her pretty face, her intelligence and clear love of people. I really am surfing up on cloud 9

I was wondering about all of the negative comments alot of you have to face. I’m lucky enough as not to have to deal with this (yet) but wondering if it isn’t linked too much to appearance. I can imagine how some might associate blues, black and brindles to “devil dogs” but surely a pied would be seen as an overweight parson JR. Several people have told me that reds/fawns are not very common so perhaps they can’t categorize them as nasty yet either ?

My wife was told while walking Gus today that it was about time we got another staffy puppy as the local dog owners think the world of Gus. It's so nice to get compliments and makes all the hard work worth while.
