Another article written from someone who knows nothing about the breed who simpley want to blame a specific breed of dog instead of the bad owner. Grrrrrr

Makes my blood boil. First they are Staffy type dogs then they are Staffys. Probably Poodles. URRRRGGGG

Words fail me.

News papers wind me up so much

they say anything to sell them

Given the rise of the internet newspapers will print just about anything

it is just too easy for these morons to say a staffy type or a pit bull type..I mean what the hell is that?? Could be anything!!

Yeah seems that paper has done a few simular written articles about "Staffordshire Bull Terrier type dogs" whatever thats supposed to mean.

Does really wind me up when I read articles like this as you can tell from my comment on there site. (Zeon999)

Some good comments on there guys!!!

Just had a read of a few em....good to see some staffy owners leave comments.

I wouldn't take too much notice of this imbecile journalist......obviously this person knows very little if anything about the Staffordshire breed.

Makes me so mad this does

what the hell is a staffy type?! grrrr it gets me so mad to hear the staffy named in such a bad light...as for the owner he wants stringing up!

a dog without papers like pitbull types

personally i dont think papers come into it steve its just another excuse to blme staffys for poor ownership grrrr im so angry with this right now!

there no chances of another breed getting banned after the failure of banning pitbulls

well i can honestly say if they did ban staffys then id be breaking the law cos my staffys are goin nowhere...

they will never get ban i will put momeny on it i think the goverment knows the cost of banning another breed and enforce it would be silly, with all the cut back there no money to enforce any type of ban on anything

one of the posts on that article was mine i just had 2 makes me laugh how they only post stories about sbt`s i can gaurantee theyve never actually owned one...and no offence but when we were kids jrt`s (ankle biters as we know them!) had a seriously bad name in my neighbourhood for attacking kids

grrrrrr.

What a load of rubbish! John, your comment was spot on.

Hmm....that got me thinking, when i first got my staffy pup i took her to my nannas who has a poodle. He was trying to ...ahem... get aquainted with her...

What on earth would a poodle /staffy cross look like....i may have to investigate this further.

I've just emailed them! Will let you know if I get a response.

unfortunately it is the reporters who will only report stories that are sensational and that they know will make people read if you add a good head line. sorry but poodle mauled womans knee doesnt cut it the name isnt sensational enough and neither is the look of the dog. the same as missing poeple and chcases are in the news alot. it is not this day and age it has always been its just things are reported more now and there is more choice of news papers on the stand. add that to the fact that people now will be more free with their words and ready to jump on their soap boxes before they have even researched the subject matte thoroughly

I wouldn't worry about it to much after the big failure with pitbull there no way would the goverment ban another breed....

How many people have even seen a pit-bull tbh?People like to throw the word about.
Most people think a pit-bull is huge built,large breed and has cropped ears(not that they know this is an aesthetic procedure) in my experience.
