Dogs need to be allowed to run around in a park, yes that includes Staffies Jeremy! littlelau is far from selfish, your the selfish one Jeremy. If you look at the dog attacks that happen, most of them happen at home, these dogs are probably NOT excersised or stimulated and are bored out of there brains. I would like the owners of these dogs to be kept in a room with no tv, books, music, games or whatever floats there boat, they wouldn't last a few hours without getting bored, so why should there dogs be treated like that? Running, playing with other dogs is the key. To say what you said is rediculous, I am sick to death of people on this forum going on about dogs, they ARE mans best friend for God's sake, they do much more good than harm and like I have said before, there are around 10 million dogs in this country and everytime 1 thing happens, its all dogs should be kept on a lead! Boring beyond belief.... I would love a Staffy and if I do ever rescue one, it will be trained, socialised, excersised OFF LEAD and woe betide anyone who gives me a mouthfull about it, just saying!
