patch is rite
and the sad thing is theres alot of people that breed like this and then it gives that breed abad name.
were i live you see so many BYB staffords its unbelievable.
the amount of 'i think im hard' people who buy them doesnt help.
if there wasnt people out there buying them then there would be a decline in the amount that are available.
the same applies to ne breed but badly breed staffords sem to be the most popular

On the news in Australia there was a sad sad sad sad case of animal cruelty to an English Staffie the I cant think of a nice enough abusive word to poswt so i will say beeeep of a guy decided that he would chop its ears off with a pair of scissors to make it look tough when the RSPCA found him he was almost dead because of infection all because we keep calling these dogs fighting breeds.

You know it is really sad to think idiots like this are that cruel and stupid.

But maybe this is the time to start appreciating theses dogs gentler sides and stopped labelling them as fighting dogs and therefore attracting the wrong sort of buyers..

Sorry to sadden your day but I just wanted to warn ppl that labelling these beautiful creatures can be very detrimental for them

Also just finished reading through this entire thread and I have to say there is a lot of inter member fighting opinions should be allowed but as for fighting over stuff continously is not good for any of your members I also believe it went well off track.

This thread has been great as we all are aware there are some passionate ppl out there.

I think this thread has covered the main arguement and points and think it should now be about disscussion rather than abusing each other on line..

I am really interested in ppls thoughts on this.

And there, ladies and gentlemen, we have the P.O.V. of a new member, who has been (rightly, IMO) underwhelmed by the bits of aggro that have occurred in this thread. I wonder how many guests were even more underwhelmed and surfed on out again without even saying hello? Let's keep it cool, and avoid getting like some of the other boards we all know and dislike :smt002 !!!

Snorri

This is my fighting dog she is a Bull Arab aka Australian Pig Dog X Rhodesian Ridgeback aka The lion hunter

Karley, I 100% agree. I almost browsed right on past dogsey, becuase it seemed every other thread was some raging argument.

Seems to be dying down a bit though. So I guess I'll stick around. Keep my guard up though.

Actually I wanted to same the same thing as Karley, but was wary of doing so, Karleys braver than me

I found my way to this forum after a horrible experience on another forum, after a long time of not agreeing with the way members are treated and treat eachother, and the double-standards there, and deciding I didnt want to be a member of that type of place any longer (I was a member for 4 years. Im a slow learner )

At the same time, I was banned because of ONE Mod on a forum that I loved, but the members on that forum were all lovely, of course there were disagreements but not in a nasty way, its a shame that such a good forum allowed a Mod to wage a personal vendetta. I was going to give up totally on dog forums, then was told about here. This is a very informative board, I know a lot of members on here and respect them all, but Ive got to say, Ive been surprised at the amount of quarrelling Ive seen in the short time Ive been here. Some of the posts have been pretty spitefull to be honest, and I almost decided it wasnt worth reading the boards any longer.
I know a lot of the subjects here are very emotive, especially concerning bullbreeds and bsl etc, but at the end of the day, arnt we all here for the same reason? Because we love our dogs? Why let a few people spoil the enjoyment of the board for others? Maybe we should all re-read our posts before hitting the "send" button, and try to put ourselves in the shoes of the poster to whom the post is being sent, we,re all human and have feelings.

a wonderful breed, lovely pup
