Whilst out for our afternoon walk today, we met a man coming in the opposite direction with a lovely collie X.Ossie and this collie did the usual doggy thing sniffing and jumping around.The fella then asked why i had my dog on his extendable lead.To which i replied that firstly i had to be able to trust him 100% before letting him off.But secondly as he is a Staff,I may never be able to let him off safely while other dogs were about.I said anyhow that i had only rescued him a month ago and his training isn't up to the standard that i wanted yet.Now this is the bit that will upset you.He stood there open mouthed looking genuinely surprised and said "you,rescued a Staffy,you must be bloody mental" I thought he was joking and asked why? he said "my daughter tried rescuing a five month old Staffy once and he was absolutely nuts,infact he was so lively she had to have him PTS as he was causing her so much disruption."
Could somebody on here please explain to me which five month old puppy of any breed doesn't cause disruption and isn't lively???

Im sorry but i lost my cool and swore at the bloke telling him exactly what i though of his daughter.Not only that but is there really vets out there that will pts a healthy puppy just because somebody can't cope ???

i've heard that in some cases when there is nothing wrong with the dog the vets says they will pts but dont, not sure how true this is but i have heard it a few times.
