Border Terriers must be trained carefully from the beginning to learn proper social behaviour with other dogs, especially larger dogs.

You must remember these dogs were bred to work alongside Foxhounds, how long do you think they would last if they caused trouble? Oh, and they dont do that in the states so have been produced only for pets/show animals 99% of the time!:smt002 I have no problem discussing my breed if you want to, its my favourite subject
but this is about Am satffs, yes?

I say don't mix dogs with people who know nothing about their breed history and cannot control them!

Ive got 2 dogs, one is very dog aggressive , but, as most Staffys are, is brilliant with people, especially kids.
