Staffy

[Jags..class]

Looking into getting one, my friend got one and he is lovely, gentle with the kids and lazy, , well we have decided it time to get a new dog, and then i worry about the aggressive and history that goes with this breed and how powerful they can be.

Any staffie owners here

Could he replace Neville in central mid?

We got one about 4 months ago, lovely, very intelligent, friendly, can be very headstrong. The agression is by and large a myth, introduce them to as many dogs, humans,situations as you can, it's all to do with socialization. I'd say get one, the range of noises they make will have you in hysterics.

have to say I would worry around kids, I know most staffys are quite friendly but they are such powerful dogs I would worry in case it had a funny five. It does tend to be the way dogs are brought up I know. We have just had to have our little king Charles put to sleep. Deffo going to get another, just so calm and good natured. Only prob is they have heart problems. Good luck with your new dog

gentle with kids and lazy....mate, you should definitely buy some other dog than staffy.

They are always lovely, until they bite your face off.

In fairness every dog has the ability to turn nasty. It's mostly put down to training/socialization, or lack of.

They are very boisterous, and no, not lazy

True, but a lot of staffs are owned by idiots who just use them for the image.

Totally agree, problem with some types of dog is they seem to be some kind of status symbol.

your far more likely to be bitten by other breads of dog than staffies, i have one and he is a happy friendly dog that would show a robber where i stash the money, they need alot of exercise and never stop running
