good deed goes horribly wrong!

Red Defender:
my parents first dog was as friendly as they came she was a lab/collie cross who was only about 8 months old when i was born and when i was about 6 months old our neighbors at the time had a pair Doberman that decided i was on the menu and jumped the fence into the back yard while my mother had popped in to get something and the first thing she saw was a black flash as my dog went through the kitchen window and bolled the first one over and then proceeded to give them both a good hiding while she stood over me and held them at bay till my mother could rescue me.

then on another occasion a few years later when we where living in wales the local farmers dog had me pinned to a wall and i can remember quite vividly hearing an almighty woof and seeing my dog take two 5 bar gates and a cattle grid in one leap and then totally annihilate the farmers dog which had to be put down!

she continued this right up until she died - other dogs could come near me and be fussed etc but the moment they so much as looked at me wrong they where in trouble ! - i loved that dog

My ex has my old dog. A staffie Rottie cross, and her hubby has has a sutherland/lab cross both are as soft as owt and have got on fine together for the last 3 years. then last year for some reason they decided to have a fight. The ex tried to seperate them and got her thumb opened to the bone and had to have 6 stiches in it. The 2 dogs got another 17 stitches between em. I gave her lots of advice on how to reassert the pack heirarchy. and they were fine for another six months till I was visiting when they decided to have another go at each other. 1 bowl of water and a couple of size 8's later and the fight was over. But they are fighting over the ex.  Because she spoils em and treats em like babies not dogs. Now the hubbies dog lives outside in a large compound and the staffies stays in the house. Funnily enough she also has a collie/terrier cross bitch and they're both petrified of her, even though she's 1/4 the size of either of them.

On reading the first post i'm sorry that you have had a bad first time with staffys.I own a staff and can honestly say it's the most wonderful breed iv'e ever owned.
Who ever owned that dog must of been a moron as they only get like that if you let them.Sad thing is it's the dog that will pay the price.
Most staffys i have come in contact with are usally no more dangerous that a run of the mill family dog.
Chavs and staffys don't go as they think there great until they find out how much damaged a untrained one can do.
If you read the history of the breed you will be very surprized to find out why they were breed and how loyal to there handlers they were and how easy to rehome due to there trusting nature.
I would just like to say to any one reading these posts that staffys are not the dangerous dogs a lot of poeple think they are[they are pitbulls not the same breed] and can be very loving pets who are great with children.

--- Quote from: "saintsboy" ---same thing happened to us while walking our staffy at the local park
ours is a rescue dog and before we got him he hadnt been near any other animal so hes does not  socialise with other dogs at all
so when were down the park if i see other dogs coming near him i put him on the lead and call the other dog owner to get there dog away
well it normally works fine but the last time the other dogs owner thought his phone call was more important than his dog
so one sorry dalmation later and the bloke was still walking over on his mobile
i wish people would listen
now were taking him out later and later so we dont see other dogs

Ours was rescued and was excactly the same as yours had a go at anything but now she gets on with everything and tollerates everything the best thing we did was to socialise her as much as we could with other animals starting by just walking near and past dogs horses etc eventually this worked shame you dont live nearer as our lass is a dog behaviourist/psycologist


--- Quote ---Hope your dog, daughter and missus are all fine iluvmud,

Cheers, Rob

I agree totally with everthing you said Richo brilliant dogs noone should be put off staffys infact any dog in the wrong hands is as dangerous/ viscous as any dog !!  

Would reccomend a staffy to anyone who wants a loving, friendly, loyal, dog !

i agree with this totally
he is the most loving and loyal dog
in my job i go to lots of different houses every day and staffys are the best dogs to meet, no issues with them at all
most other breds bark and snarl at me
i dont think i would have any other breed of dog except maybe a english bull terrier
