No such thing as a bad dog George - only bad owners!

I was brought up with Staffies, my mum and dad had them for 30 years, never had any sort of problem, ever. They are the perfect family dog, provided they're brought up and trained properly. My sister (who was just a little girl when they got the first one) used to dress him up in cardigans, hats, skirts and he loved it being the centre of attention. Great playmates for one another.

They're like people - treat them right and they'll treat you right. Treat them wrong and they'll turn on you. Most of the bad stories you read are the result of idiots who buy them because of the macho image they have, and they try to make them 'tough'. Do that to any dog, and it'll end up biting your balls (or worse). It's unfair to single out the Staffie, no dog, of any breed, should ever be left alone with small children. Even Yorkies bite, very hard.

But back to the subject of the thread, I understand your points Jack, but how will terrorising a banker and his family, or beating policemen up and breaking windows in London make things better for people who really are oppressed (not just jealous, moaning bastards like some on here)?
