dilwise Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have lived next door to staffordshire bull terriers for years and they are lovely but put them in the hands of the uneducated in the ways of dogs and you have a recipe for danger. All dogs can be dangerous if provoked but the owner needs to be fully aware of how to be a leader to the dog or the dog will take charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 How can a Staffordshire Bull Terrier be an American breed? Staffordshire's in England! Whether it's an American site or not is irrelevant. It explains why a Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a type of Pit Bull Terrier. Er, you don't know what "pro" means, do you? When I say "pro", it means a site that is promoting staffies and trying to argue in favour of them. That a site trying to defend staffies can't deny how dangerous a breed they are says it all. Surely if how dangerous staffies are depended on how they were bred, the statistics would be totally different from one country to the next? They're not though; take this site from Australia where the government did a study on number of dog attacks by breed in New South Wales. http://www.dlg.nsw.gov.au/dlg/dlghome/documents/information/NSW%20Report%20-%20Dog%20Attack%20Incidents%20-%203rd%20quarter%20report%20-%202009-10.pdf On page two is shows that there were 156 attacks by Staffordshire Bull Terriers (plus another 46 where it was thought the breed was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier but couldn't be conclusively identified). That's over 200 attacks by Staffies, more than double those by the next most frequently attacking dog! So whether you live in the UK, the US or Australia, it's been proved time and time again that the staffy is the most dangerous breed of dog. This is why something needs to be done to protect our children from them. Sausage dogs are the most aggressive dogs (Short-Haired Dachshund) Forget pit bulls, rottweilers and Rhodesian ridgebacks, it's the sausage dog that's the most aggressive breed. top ten most aggressive breed: Dachshunds Chihuahua Jack Russell Australian Cattle Dog Cocker Spaniel Beagle Border Collie Pit Bull Terrier Great Dane English Springer Spaniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrod Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Does the chav drive the car or does the car have a brain and drive itself?The chav causes the accident in the car, as the chav creates the circumstances for his dog to bite somebody.

Why do you find facts funny. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/2254479/Sausage-dogs-are-the-most-aggressive-dogs.html Many dog bites go unreported and only bites that require medical attention go on current bite statistics so are misleading.

This is why something needs to be done to protect our children from them. I never said it was American you wrongly assumed that the Staffordshire Terrier is the same as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier it isn't. The American Staffordshire Terrier is a breed apart. The site explains that there are three designations in AMERICA. The American Pitbull Terrier, The American Staffordshire, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The 'essentially the same ' tag refers to the dogs heritage not that they are one in the same breed. As with most dogs (aside from the latest batch of misfits) they are related to earlier breeds and a succession of crosses has led us to where they are today.

MrSmith Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Danes aggressive? That's the first I've heard. It surprised me, I'm thought shih tzu would have been on the list, nasty little things I'm glad they aren't the size of Greats Danes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Jnr Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 And I; like a few others on this thread have not disputed that some staffy's are a problem but you have refused all comments on evidence showing them to be good natured also, instead you've spent your time trawling for as much negative press from around the globe as you can find.
