He wanted wanted wanted.....as you can imagin
I wonder that too
Me too Danni, as I see it an abuse to them, they stress so much, all that panting and stress, no wonder they appear hyped
Oh! right..........
BDH is the same.
As yet we don't see many sibes, but I am sure we will in time.
Its worse than prison isn't it....infact the prisons are better. So concrete and cold looking.
I agree hun xx

OK here's something to madden you. Just been telling Patrick about BDH, and he's just told me this.

Guy who works with him, has a 11 week old SBT no papers bought for £150

Now he wants rid, ......... two reasons.

He hasn't got the time for it

His wife doesn't like dogs much

So he asked Pat if he knew anyone who wants it for £250

Well that baby didn't have much of a chance did it

if you did re-name them thus, i would say you are behind the times, as it has been the case that rescues have been 'staffie type' overload for 3 or 4 years now....i have been on the coal face of this.

Its a sad indictment of society and the way this breed is treated these days, its about time we had a breeding moratorium on staffies.
If every member of the public visited rescues and realised this has been a problem for a long time, then followed that up by noticing all the free and byb signs for staffies/'pit bulls'/'am staffs'/'irish staffs' etc, then the sudden realization and shock that good people experience (such as yourself stevie), might trigger a change for the better....hopefully.

It's people like this that are the root cause of the poor Staffie and Staffie X's ending up in dog pounds and rehoming centres. Obviously the guy thought really clearly about getting a puppy in the first place... I mean it's just a small commitment isn't it!!!
People like this just make me really mad, It's so unneccesary. Why can't people think clearly and research before they get a puppy. - Makes me think this guy just had a 'quick money' attitude and was planning to re-sell the puppy on for a larger sum of money.
- I bet he was feeding it a great diet and giving it the neccessary socialisation *scoffs"

Poor Staffie Its just such a shame, But the rescue centres do a fantastic job finding them new RESPONSIBLE homes. Staffies really are one of the best dogs in the world, so loving and caring.
If this over-breeding does continue, It's going to really cause big issues in the future.

thats so sad

when i went to the lanarkshire dogs home, when i was getting jake, there were loads of staffs and staff x's. i nearly got a gorgeous staff x bitch, she was beautiful and so so friendly. and the poor girl only had 3 legs

I'm really behind with the times hun, last time I went there was when my eldest got Dillon his BC (almost 2 years now)....which he still has and then as I said only one floor was SBT's a SBT x's.....today was a real eye opener, quite sickening
You said what I said to my hubby about the guy
Awwww poor soul, I'd of taken her as well....but then thats me

i wanted to lol, my mum said it was a big no no though. her name was bonnie, and she was in with her brother clyde! lol. would have got her if they hadnt said i wouldve been better with a pup coz of the kids. she was the best match for us after the pups.

Hopefully she has found her forever home

Jakes a lucky lad

aw, thanks i do my best lol.

i hope she has too, she was on the sspca website and after i got jake i would always check to see if she was still on. wasnt long till she was off it, so im hoping that means they found her one.

Poor little babe, but sadly so common now with Staffs and crosses and yet there are still being loads and loads being bred and churned out by eejits with no idea just wanting to make a quick buck.
I do not like rules and regulations, but I think at least a temporary ban needs to be put on the breeding of them now except by proven responsible registered breeders and then the number of litters limited. Otherwise what hope is there for all the others who have gone past the cute puppy stage and are desperate for a loving home. Its spiralling out of control now, with too many of these beautiful dogs becoming victims.
