The Staffordshire Bull Terrier can be an imposing dog with its
strong, muscular body, intense stare, and powerful stance. Many
are interested in the breed because it looks like a tough dog
but are surprised to learn that the Stafford is a sensitive and
loving companion who enjoys playing more than being tough. He
sees life as a joyful adventure and lives it to the fullest.Although
he was created in 19th-century Britain to be a small, fast fighting
dog, those days are long past. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier
of today is a fine companion known for his courage and love of
children. Their loyalty to family and their intelligence should
not be underestimated.
The SBT has been copping a bit of flack in the media, being targeted as dangerous and 'statisticaly' rating as one of the highest biters/attackers.
The trouble is, how are these statistics gathered? Who decides the difference between a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, An American Staffordshire Terrier, A Pit Bull, or any Cross Breeds for that matter?
A recent article reported that an SBT was the offender, when in actual fact the picture they used for an example of the breed was an AmStaff... this highlights precisely that the media are pretty slap happy when preparing their articles and don't research these cases completely. They are looking for BIG headlines, and a quick blame solution.. Unfortunately it is ultimately the dogs that end up suffering.
This video is not about shifting blame from one breed to the next, its about recognising that it is not the dog or the breed that are the problem, but the OWNERS. Afterall, who do the dogs learn from?
We need to 're-educate' the public, our families, and even the media. Its about promoting "Responsible Ownership" - choosing the 'right' dog for your lifestyle, being dedicated to providing training and guidance, and learning how to be a strong leader.
As you will see in the video, Staffordshire Bull Terriers are the most loving and kindest of breeds, they are a family dog, who need to be included, loved and treated with respect... give them this and they will be your friend for life...
Thank you to all at Bull Breeds Online & Petbizzo who generously donated pictures for this video, even if we can reach just a few people with our message, it will have been worth it. Teyahstaff
