We continously hear bad stories about SBT 's everyone seems to look down at us now we have Poppy i have been told im not a responsible parent because we have brought a SBT into our home,people avoid us the list goes on.......To be honest i get sick of it none of our dogs are aggressive and we are responsible pet owners and im a very responsible parent.Iv got to the point were i feel i have to explain about Poppy and other SBT's to every Tom,Dick and Harry!!
Anyway im just wondering how many other people/dogs have been attacked by other breeds of dogs(other than bull breed)Are people scared or unsure of any other breeds of dogs??
I mentioned yesterday we have a local lady who has 2 very viscious Yorkshire Terriers but just because they are Yorkshire Terriers its ok for them to be out of control which to me is not fair had it been 2 SBT's something would of been done!!
Sorry to rant just getting really fed up of all the negativity about SBT's!!

I looked down the field and there was a massive sbt sniffing around on his own. His owner seen me and called him but he did'nt listen to him. The dog did'nt notice me and my pups and my mobile phone went off. He turned and looked noticed me and my pups standing there and he pelted towards us. I shite myself thinking this is it hes a nutter. When he got to us he was'nt even aggressive. My shihtzu puppy freaked him out and he run back to his owner. So it'll teach me to be less judgemental towards these dogs in the future

His owners were what you would think the type that got it for a status dog, and for being aggressive. Anyway the dog stood staring at me, ears forward, wide stance wide eyes. It ran towards us, Bess bared her teeth and the lil mite slammed to the floor, licking Bess's face etc. He was such a cutie and his owners turned out to be lovely!

I havent raised him to be aggressive, and i also wont tolerate it.
