Once again the talk of bringing in a dog licence, and now trying to stop the breeding of staffies. I had realised staffies were over-running animal centres, but hadn't realised just how hight the figures were.

Ready these things makes me feel so guilty because of Cassie and her pups, I should of done more...what i don't know, but the thought of her puppies taking the place of an actual rescue breaks my heart.

Its bad I hope that something does come in from the government to try to stop byb

What terrible news

It really is sad there are so many in rescues and it only seems to keep getting worse

When I went to Battersea (old Windsor) housed 120 dogs (now 170) and 99% where staffs, staff/croses. It was so sad. Most know my opinion on breeding and yes this site has opened my mind a bit, but, as well as health testing, papers so on so on so on, visit a shelter before you even contemplate it Xx

Look at this little one, breaks my heart

poor wee thing she's so young, all the rescues we have been round recently 99% of them were also full of staffs and crosses
