We have an old chap comes to agility classes with his rescue staffy X boxer. After he got him he got a pet passport and jabbed up for rabies, so he could go to europe with him on his caravaning holidays, only to find out that the campsites in europe will not accept staffs or crosses of staffs. So he holidays in britain now, where there are no such rules.

i agree the media hype things up with the way they report, if its a cross breed, its always reported as a staffy x or rottie x, no mention of the other part of the dog.

I don't own staffs, but do have Shepherds and they can cause some funny reactions in people.
