reading the paper earlier there was a story about a 7 year old girl who was attacked by two dogs in the park and what really made me mad apart from the fact a poor little girl was attacked was that even though two dogs were two blame only one dog was named and yes it was the staffordshire bull terrier....in the paper it says she was attacked by a staffy and another dog.
The staff was to be PTS but the other dog wasnt even mentioned maybe its just me but it really makes my blood boil that they get blamed for everything

I agree 10000000000000000000%, the paper I saw said Staff x, not mention of what it was crossed with - could've been anything, but then slating Staffies will sell papers!

Mind you Staffies do seem to be attracting the wrong sort of (hooded) owner at the moment.  My dog has been attacked three times, and each time it has been by a Staffie.  I also know some wonderful Staffies who have been properly trained and are great family dogs.
