Bull Terriers, Staffies and Pit Bulls

[TillieTrotter]

I have been bitten twice by Alsatians and am terrified of them but they dont seem to be considered dangerous!

[Michael Palaeologus]

I am a Staffie and have never bitten anybody.

Well only in a moment of passion and I didnt draw blood.

Just a little nip really, dont know what the fuss was about.

How long to restraining orders last for, anybody know? CWALD?

It was me who mentioned Staffordshire Bull Terriers in the Drum thread (ahem!).

I refer you to p133 in the Collins Gem book of Dogs: 'Requires a responsible owner, committed to careful training'. I am afraid I find the bark of these animals repugnant and, if I am not mistaken, when these little bleeders bite, their jaws lock and can't be opened. Ayway, I agree that the owners are usually to blame. Then again, that's what happens with centuries of inbreeding (I mean the dogs... or do I?).

We have cats.
