Yeah any dog can become violent even if they are seen as cute and good natured it just the owner I have a staffie and she is the best dog I could ever ask for ❤
My Saffie passed away about 9 days ago. I loved her so much! I was so proud to have her as my dog. She was smart, sweet, and shy. I don't think I could ever find another dog like her, but here I am looking at Staffie videos. Hopefully one day. I'll get another Staffie. A month ago I wouldnt have thought she'd be gone. She just got sick so quick and I'm finding it hard to let go. Roxie looks almost exactly like her. Mine was all white with a brown spot on her bum and tail. :'(
Weech0 I don't know if that's your dog as your avatar but my amstaff (his name is Dexter) loves being under the covers just like that and poking his head out. I have so many pictures just like your avatar. Dexter is going on 12 now and I can't imagine my life without him. I know I don't have a lot of time left with him so i spend as much time with him as I can.
My staffy is 9 years old, never hurt any one or anything. He is such a friendly dog, even people in my neighbourhood who feared dogs like this love him. Its the owner who makes a bad dog not the breeth
I have a very healthy 11 year old female highly interactive and affectionate smart and my best friend. She's snoring at the foot of my bed. I wasn't a Staffordshire guy I really like German Shepherds but I can't imagine my life now without my good girl.
my heart broke seeing those beautiful dogs in a kennel, they’re so precious and underrated I just want to adopt them all, I have 2 staffies that we rescued from a shelter, they were tied up to a fence in london, they are currently 7 and 13, and we have had them for a year now. I wish we could get more, they’re definitely my favourite breed! 💓
My Staffie Chloe is a rescue dog, i got her when she was about two years old as a stray off the streets. She's the most lovable gentle pet I've ever owned. and always been great around kids, and other animals, shes coming up to fourteen years old now, so sadly i know the time left is short, but i would honestly recommend to anybody that is looking to own a dog to get a Staffie, best friend they'll ever have.
My daughter adopted a 1-1/2 year old Staffy. At first I thought uh oh, but the second she brought her through the front door, she gently walked over to me and I fell in love with her. I was so mistaken about staffies from stories I heard. Yes, they are the sweetest breed of dog if they are loved. The thugs that have abused them are the cause of promoting fear driven aggression. Thank god our dog was saved from that.
I have two staffs and they are soft as anything so loveing and all they want is love and cuddles I trust my dogs 100% it's not the dog that's at fault it's the owners who handle them and bring them up wrong
Yep its mugs that think there hard who dont socialize and abuse there dog then people blame the breed when that particular dog is aggressive I've had a little staffy chew my leg and he was owned by a pikey wanker and my mates big tough looking staff is soft as you like
Exactly! And here is an example ME my dogs[my passed away pitbull lab and now staffie] socialized, corrected etc and best dog! My mother in laws blue heeler, never socialized never trained or corrected and is a night Mare he will bite freak out etc he cant go near kids or people and it's all bc of what I put above which is the owners fault 🙌 yes some can he agressive but it's mostly bc they weren't trained and socialized and the OWNERS let them do w.e they wanted and thought no corrections needed and that they were so cute untill the bite someone and then instantly oh it was the dog🙄 well who trains and corrects the dog ? The dog dont know when he doing the right thing he is just built like his ancestors to protect himself and his pack like come on now I hate when ppl say it's the dog ♡
I just love my staffie. I feel that she rescued me on so many levels. When I leave the house and can be gone all day or 1 minute to check the mail box. I am greeted as she has not seen me in weeks. She just makes my heart smile 24/7. She is so smart and so kind and makes me so sad to see them all in kennels. Please rescue them from shelters and not from breeders.
My Nanny's staffty, which I would like to call mine, is the most sweetest and loving dog I have ever met. She is extremely loyal to me and makes me happy all the time, when I'm bored or alone, I just play with her, she is perfect. She never hurts anyone,and the only reason she runs around and jumps at people sometimes is because she is excited. She is gentle and is fine with other dogs. She is really playful aswell. I love her, she is like my family. Staffies are really misunderstood.
Had 2 staffies, first was a rescue - didn't get on with other dogs too well but loved people and was amazing with both my children even as new borns. He used to sit beside their baskets and keep an eye on them! Second is 13 week old puppy again amazing with the children.
Thanks so much for all the help to the Staffies. I have one With 5 years old.Loyal dogs ,i found him at the road abandoned.Thanks so much.Howard (Spain)
Iv had my stuffy girl for 6 years and she’s 10 this year she’s the love of my life never had a more loving , clever and loyal dog in my life ! She came from a bad start and she’s still got so much trust in humans , I will never have any other breed and I will always forever rescue ❤️
Such wonderful dogs, I had a staffy for 14 years and he was the best dog ever, still miss him to this day. I always struggle to understand how people can be nasty to or abandon such beautiful dogs.
This breaks my heart. I have three staffies, i take with me between houses in England and Spain. If i was stable and had a big enough place, it take every staffy in the region. Little heart breakers.
Best breed without a doubt, loyalty and friendship comes first with this breed , love them. Bullies in general are lovely 😊 blame the deed and not the breed!
Such a shame there are so many in kennels. We've had two Staffies - both rescue dogs and you couldn't have found more loving, gentle or affectionate dogs anywhere. Both of them were absolutely great with our kids and their friends. They are wonderful dogs.
Keep up the good work! I have two of my own, and my plan is when I get a solid income to open up a Staffy/Pitt sanctuary! Best breed ever, DEFINITELY most misunderstood.
Staffies are awesome!!! Been a staffy dad for the last 16 years. Before I was a human dad, my kids have never known a time without one. Our family & home couldn't be complete without one. The only thing that would ever give me second thoughts about having one, is the heartache when they pass.
Staffies are such sensitive talented dogs. All they want is to work with you, be part of the pack.If I could own a dog I would take a Staffy in a heartbeat.
I have had staffs my whole life, I also have a Labrador. The staff is by far the most loyal loving dog I have ever come across, they think there people and want to be with you all the time, very smart and can read emotion like no other dog.
They are the most cuddly loving babies ever...my girl is best buddies with my 2 cats...we have our own language we talk...she is so loving and keeps me fit
Michael, you are a saint. Roxy is beautiful. Those eyes just melt your heart. I've had staffies for years. Bless you all for what you are doing for this fabulous breed.👍
A close friend of mine owns a Staffie I’ve never seen a more well behaved dog in my life, she greats you at the door so happy gives loads of cuddles and is good with strangers and other animals! Such a misconception, bad owners not bad breeds!
All the staffies I have met,the only dangers have been from being licked to death, muddy paws or hit by their non stop tails! With training,early socialisation;they make wonderful pets.
Some people raise bad kids and even murderers just like some people raise aggressive dogs. Staffies are so sweet and affectionate in nature and not all humans deserve them.
Raja Karim Most dogs i meet have bad owners, may not be dangerous dogs but they are nervous, non socialized, dont obey, owners sen them bad signals etc. I had a very good staffie for 13 years,male, not nuterd, no problems with male dogs and humans lol he liked humans better that dogs.
Brunlera that's nice. I had a staffie boy but this time thinking of maybe going jack Russell or #adopt not shop. a Staffie from my local dogs trust. I don't think it's completely the bad owners fault but they are to blame sadly. Sometimes they know no better and are raised poorly themselves. All the best take care
There's a special place in my heart for all the bull breeds but an even more special one for the Staffy, I get the odd look when walking my 8 month old and it does sadden me, a more gentle soul you'll rarely meet. There are sadly many good dog's with bad owners, all breeds included.
They are what I call a real dog in that they will make an attacker forever regret it but that’s a reflection of their natural love for the owner They are the most loving dogs they love attention
My staffy is from a rescue center. His stay there would have been horrific for him as he suffers from separation anxiety. But he is a really great dog who I would trust with any human.
My Jack Russell’s grandfather was a Staffie and this really shows in his nature. Physically he only has slight shows he’s not a full JRT: he’s a bit beefier than normal ones. But apart from that he’s incredibly playful, so so placid and just the most friendly dog you could come across and I’m confident that’s because of the Staffie in him.
Makes me cry watching these videos. My little Staffie bitch came from the RSPCA. She has plenty of scars and broken teeth yet she still just wants to be loved.
Ok well all I can say is that my staffy *loves* kittens and cats. 😂 my cat, my dog, and the neighbours kitten are all best friends and love hanging out! ❤️ he’s such a softie 😂
Staffies like to run, play, sniff, eat, paddle in water, cuddle, have their tummies tickled and mud. Aggression is the furthest thing from their minds. Loyalty from a Staffie is 100% guaranteed
My rescue staffy was in the kennels for 5 months for no reason other than his breed and age (9 years old). He is the sweetest boy ever their reputation so is unfair
I own a staffie and he's very loving and affectionate, he wants me to touch him all the time. When I bring him out people usually give bad comments like I shouldn't have such a dangerous dog around, but he's very friendly to my family and never causes any troubles at home. He doesn't even bark nor bite any furniture when we're not around.
Hi Annie rose , thank you for posting this video about staffies, we have a rescued staffie, her name is lotte, short for charlotte, she is the most loving, affectionate ,loyal dog I have ever met, she adores kids and is always wanting to introduce her self to people she meets, she is very clever and loves her hugs and kisses
I hate seeing Staffies having bad reps I have a staffie called Roxie she is 2 year old and I would never replace her and she is definitely not violent she is brilliant and I had doubts before we got her and I feel bad because she is the best ❤
They're not always misunderstood, some of us understand them and absolutely adore them! I've got a blue female and she's an angel! She adores my 5 yr old daughter & is beyond gentle with her, in fact she's incredibly protective of her bff... 😁 Our Staffy is an important & valued member of our happy family, they're the best dogs ever!
Staffies are a great breed fantastic and with children fantastic in the home and so loving don't believe what the MSM says it sells papers a must have breed for first time owners...
I have a staffy just going to a dog park is bad. I get people looking at my dog whos super friendly and loves to play but they instantly think pitbull. Iv even had the cops called on me once for having a pitbull, when the police showed up I had to get her birth certificate and vet papers to show them yes she is a pure bread staffy. People are way to quick to judge these wonderful dogs when I can i'll get another one for sure.
No stimulation for the dogs in kennels with only a wooden fence to look at, dogs, especially Staffies, need mental stimulation as well as physical exercise or they go stir crazy.
Indeed. I think many Staffies are mentally superior to their owners, and when they get bored, they can cause trouble. Just like kids. Some years ago the world champion search dog was a Staffy from Austria.
Volunteering in kennels I see crazy collies, shepards ect., bite historys and literally bouncing off the walls, but never met an unfriendly staffie yet. Their temperaments are amazing and they are very resilient dogs in my experience - bouncing back from traumatic experiences.
Would it not be more cost effective and fairer on the dog if there was'nt a reclaim bill? Just mention a voluntary donation when handing dogs back to owners. If shelters are prepared to pay many times more to look after the dog than it would cost to hand a lost dog back to its owner for free then i honestly do not understand the logic. "Oh, well if you are not prepared to pay to get your dog back then we will just keep spending more money to look after it and cause it further mental suffering until someone may or may not adopt him." Am i making sense here or not?
I have been trying to adopt a staffie for months now in local Kennels in Northern Ireland, Being grown up with the breed from i was 12 years old (now 49) and kept getting turned down for a dog. Harder to adopt a dog than a child. I have now purchased a staffie pup from a breeder to the disgust of some people But i find it disgusting that i kept getting refused by the kennels etc.
I bought my Staffy from a breeder, previous dogs from the pound or a farmer and were very trustworthy. She is awesome but she does need more vigilance, she is more unpredictable. She is seven, have had her since 10 weeks old
I wouldn’t say I was afraid of staffy, and similar type dogs, but I always used to be a little more wary of them than most other breeds. Now I encounter a lot of Staffys with my work, and can honestly say I’ve never come across a staffy that is aggressive or anything other than very friendly. That caution I used to have with the breed has completely gone away now, these dog’s are just as friendly as any other family dog and if not more so.
I just rescued an America Staffordshire Bull terrier in Dec Of 2019 , OMFG what an affectionate dog, it is totally friendly, And an amazing little buddy, I never realized how awesome these dogs are ! 🤙🏻
Yes well my maltese just growled at me as i tried to pick him up to get him inside (35° in perth) so too hot for him to lay in...these little guys have the bad attitude!! Ive never come across a bad tempered staffi and their faces just look like they were made for cuddleing! The world needs more people like this gentleman to educate us.
