The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is unfortunately severely stereotyped. Just because a dog is born a Staffy does not make it aggessive. Staffords are portrayed by the media as uncontrollable and vicious, when in actual fact, the largest number of dog bites in the UK come from Golden Retrievers - yet you never hear of such attacks happening. This is because newspapers target breeds which look tough and hardy, such as Staffys, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Dobermanns and German Shepherds. It is true that when raised incorrectly these dogs (like any breed) can develop aggression, but when treated correctly and brought up well, these can be the very best family dogs. PLEASE, SAY NO TO BREED SPECIFIC STEREOTYPE.
