would u do this

a while ago i had a baby girl she'd fallen asleep on my seettee and my then puppy staffy major of a few months that fallen alseep next to her, i was sitting next to them to take the pic i never thought anything of it and took a pic, i posted it on one of the many staffy groups on facebook , tonight however i have an email calling me irrsonable and a bad mother for allowing my staffy to lay next to her it been on the site for agaes, babes now 1o months and majors a year, would like to know what group its on as i said to her ive joined loads does anyone else think it wrong i highly aware of a staffy and it can do my old staffy bite my son on the mouth by acciedent but i wanna know does other ppl see it as a problem

i tryed to upload the pic but i dont think i have

I dont think its irresponsible to be honest as long as there never left alone because u just never know i hate these sorts of people there perfectic bearing in mind the staffy was just a pup then just ignore them i know it annoys u when people say things like this but i wouldnt worry let them think what they want

I see no problem in letting babies and children lie with staffords, as long as they are supervised, not because of attack or anything, far from it, but because a dog can easily roll onto a baby & hurt it, or a baby/child can grab a dog & hurt it. A responsible adult should be present at all times just to make sure ther are no accidents.

As for putting a cute pic like that sounds on a web site, I can't see anything wrong with it! (can't see any pic, by the way!)

as said above if there not left there is nothing wrong at all

some people just like to critisise

its in your profile pic and its lovely

Oh i see the pic now theres nuthing wrong with it i think it is cute actually

Great Pic
Same as stated above.
You get people who like to comment on any subject they know f@*k all about.
Don't liten to them

thanks guys that major was a few months old in the pic leighla was 3 weeks he now a year and shes 10 months and the best of friends

I'm an idiot. OK, you probably all know that by now. I didn't look at the avatar pic! NOW I know what you're talking about.

Lovely picture, very sweet & nothing wrong with it at all!

yea i would and have done so,all my kids were reared with staffys

I got told off for this picture too. Apprently cairos going to eat her...I defy anyone to say that that little girl isnt happy and safe with cairo. People are just ignorant fools.

caryll i was the same made the post then relised later the picture was there all the time so i think theres more than just you that are a little bit of an idiot lol

we just anser the posts not look at the profile pics ha ha

oh yeh you can deff see that in the picture the child is terrified and cairo looks to be showing major aggresion you can see why you got wrong for that lisa


what a stupid pack of a holes complaning about that picture it does nothing but show the true nature of the lovely breed.
and to think anyone would put a child into dangerous situation is just narrow minded

nice pic by the way

Both lovely pics! No problem with staffies and kids as said before as long as supervised. I run a social club so mines around kiddies all the time. Just ignore uneducated peoples comments

No dog should ever be left alone with children (but u prob no that lol) u can never trust any dog 100% but u can never trust a child either 100%! After the 20th prod in the eye and 10th tail pull etc it would be enough to get anyones back up! The picture is gorgeous and i have loads of pics with my 2 and 6 year old with the dogs snuggeled up together!

so you allow underage drinking in your club thats not very responsible

Lol Bigwazza I don't!! Unless its a fruitshoot or something, all the alcohol is for me!!

thanks for all ur support guys just narrow minded ppl on facebook aint it so please i found this site which is great btw

So, did she eat her? I assume that, as you're talking about her, she's still around - and still playing with Cairo?

=D> well said Janey

clearly it was just a hater with nothing better to do ,,,, ive got various diff pics of my dogs with my kids , there fine you just always keep an eye on them ,, ggrggrrggrg people piss me off you know , bloody ignorance

maybe in that pic shady is hatching a plan to dive in and drown my wee girl
pmsl i think not

very nice pics niff

Nice pics all

Lisa- your "babies" are both gorgeous,all i have to say on the matter is "Who knows your staffy better? U or the person putting in those posts?"

i think shady more likely thinking of how he going to get her out the bath dry and dress her

When I bring my staffy pup home in a few weeks time, I fully intend to allow the pup and my children to play together and form a bond (very closely supervised of course) If the pup is raised well and the children know how to behave around dogs, where's the harm in letting them enjoy each others friendship? Some people are just so ignorant and judgemental, and you can bet these people have done absolutely no research on this wonderful breed, they just believe all the crap they read in the papers. Incidentally, these people tend to be the owners of the horrible, ankle biting, snappy little rats. I'd much rather have my children playing with a staffy than one of those awful things!

yes introduce your children to the dog straight away shontelle. and they will grow up together and they will be great companions for life.
