| Hi there all, i have been very interested reading the posts here and thought i would ask a bit of advice if i may? i have had a staffy before and had a loving relationship with her and to add to a comment made earlier we had a baby newborn after we had got the dog and she was fantastic with her from the off, she used to guard the baby wherever she was and her temperement and patience was priceless so i would recomend staffys to be intergrated into a home with kids and would trust them with their lives, anyway back to my problem, my wife has recently bought me another staffy after the loss of my 1st staff "Tara" and i am concerned that i cant get her to feed regular, i have tried all methods i know and different brands of food but she tries them and then thats it, she is approaching 4mnths old and i am worried she isnt eating enough, she is well behaved and obedoent, she goes into the yard to do her business and she plays with my children really well, she seems to be really intelligent and learns things fast, she sits when i ask gives her paw for a treat but getting her to eat dog food is getting hard, please help me as i am worried she will become malnutritioned and become ill, thankyou for your time. ↑ |

| N?ot knowing too much about staffordshire terriers, if you buy one just before baby is born and it is just a puppy, then you surely are paying attention to it and then the baby is born and you have all your attention on new baby - do they not feel left out?? Does that not make them jealous and maybe turn ↑ |

| A rolled up newspapper works great I found I the sound gets their attention. My pit is comming alone very well. my husband was dead set against keeping her now he loves her to death I still have not been able to get my family to come around to the idea of my keeping her yet though. ↑ |

| Juanita.... is you dog an A Staff or a Stafford Shire Bull Terrier ?because I noticed you mentioned ( your pit )in you last post. If you have an American pit bull terrier it is not the same as an American Stafford Shire Terrier or a Stafford Shire Bull Terrier, all three dogs are diffrent. However I do have to say all three where bread for fighting, that is why some are people friendly but dog agresive. If they show no agresion towards you than there is no need to worrie, if you have young children than I would watch him! As I said before these dogs only purpose for beeing bread was to fighting! often times they dont know the diffrence between a young child verses a small dog and will attack the child just like they would another dog. ↑ |

| yes staffies do love children. although my friends have just had a baby and when the dog saw how much attention the baby was getting. the dog started to self harm.to an extent that they had to give the dog away to another friend for the safety of the dog. dog is now fine and healthy but in a family without children. ↑ |

| My two year old son was petrified of all dogs, until i looked after my brothers Staff while he went on holiday. We are now the proud owner of one of our own. He is great with kids. I trully believe it's they way you bring them up, much like children really. If you instill violence in them you can't expect anything less. ↑ |

| English Staffordshire Bull Terriers are great with kids, i have had them all my life and my parents bought me my first staffy when i was around 3. They are very protective and loving, i had bunk beds growing up and he would sleep of the bottom bunk and i would sleep on the top bunk. ↑ |

| my staffy while on her walk today was cut above the eye by another mutt of a dog thats why when my puppy staffy grows he is going to be aggressive and i will make sure that this cunt of adog gets mauled by my bad boy. how would anybody feel if their dog got cut open for no reason all she wanted to do was play ↑ |
| Name: mel | Date: Sep 28th, 2006 6:17 PM |
| in reply to the staffman you are type of person that gives staffys a bad name how can anyone say that they are going to make there dog aggressive. just because another dog was horrible to your dog, your going to make him aggressive two wrongs do certainly not make a right grow up. I hope your dog never goes for one of your children because you have taught him such wicked ways. you shouldn't be aloud to have the responsibility of taking care of a dog. what a shame when this breed is so loving. ↑ |

| my family have always had staffies an i can honestly say that even though the majority have a problem with other dogs, they are absolutely amazing with kids. they get very maternal and tend to mother and protect them. i was brought up with them, and many young children in my family. i wouldn't think twice about it. you will have no probs! ↑ |

| i have two staffordshire bull terriers, they are fantastic good with kids but do get nasty comments all the time even from my own sister. my sister wont alow her kids near them and i have even been asked to cross them over the road because a lady wouldnt come out of the shop until they had gone. sad really as for a 4 month old pup killing another pup are u sure i have a 14 week old staffy n she well built fights with the cat when she gets chance but wouldnt be able to kill it. i wouldnt leave a child alone with mine thoe but as for bad dogs thats a load of xxxx. ↑ |

| i know how u feel staffman my staffy was attacked by a rotti for no reason at all. i was mad still am n my little 14 week old girl will be growing up tough because of this i was to soft with my oldest who 3 n half she didnt fight back just let it rip into her. so i have learnt to toughen up my girl n the pup will kick arse with any that fancies its luck with her when shes older. i agree with u mine too will be dog agressive. ↑ |

Basically you have to ask yourself this-
If the dog was to turn on the baby, could it do a great deal of damage, has it got the strength and the equipment?
My answer is YES, it doesnt matter if the dog hasnt bitten anyone before. How many times have you heard about a fox terrier or a poodle tearing a child to bits? NEVER
This is because fox terriers were BRED to chase small things, this is a trait thats been bred into them, and poodles have been bred to be docile, most of them are skittish and will run away if threatened.
Dogs even like Staffordshire Terriers have been bred for aggression, its in their Genes, and when it comes out, you dont get the kind of bite a poodle or fox terrier would give you. It
wont stop, till what it attacks is dead. ↑ |
