I love staffies and would have one tomorrow. The rescue my mum volunteers for is over run with staffies since the bad press has been thrown onto them. However she has had staffies come in that have been used as gang protection dogs and have been trained to be nasty. I have a daughter myself and would still have a staffie, I've known people who have had staffies with children who have been so well behaved and fantastic around children of all ages. My old friend from school had one and she was so soft of mouth and well trained. I could have took her home myself! I think people assume because pit bulls are so closely related to staffs that all staffs must be like pit bulls The same as when I tell people about having a St Bernard they all think he MUST run upstairs and get my bed filthy thanks to that bloody film! Ok not entirely the same but you get my point? What people see on tv must apply to all dogs of that breed.
