Catch 22
But I am pleased they aren't a breed for everyone because unless you are willing to put in the time energy and effort you are not worthy of my breed - whoever you are.
And they are great family dogs but not suitable for every family.
They are lovely dogs but some people think they are ugly - I know its unbelievable but its true.
Now you've had chance to digest that information I will say to me they are the perfect breed. But I am willing to take the rough with the smooth. And I have never met anyone who is "out and out Staffie hater" in fact most people stand in the park and say things like "I can't stand Staffies, can you they are nasty?" when I point out there dog is at that moment playing with a Staff mine they normally say "apart from yours or something similar" or one lady still to this day refuses to believe my two are Staffs
To her they are the "nice little black dogs"

) who don't own Staffs. 
And every one's opinons Staffie owners or not is different; because all our dogs like us are individual. What your dog takes in his stride mine freaks out about etc etc etc.
You can't say someone should not post in a particular section because everyone's idea of a debate is not the same as ours.
And I mean if we hadn't asked question we wouldn't know Staffs are the best would we????????
But shush don't tell everyone.

Two BC's were running loose in the field and Jack was minding his own business but obviously got to close to them and they didnt like it so they joined together and saw him off (even though he was just sniffing round) teeth snapping and got stuck into him, he defended himself, but I intervened and had words with the boofhead owner 
But I'm getting off track.I always take the dog on face value as all dogs have teeth and can bite. I like staffies and think they are sweet, but I won't have one purely because it's a personal preference, I prefer retrievers.

But don't get so worked up they're only dogs at the end of the day and people are much more important.
Don't stress about what someone says about our breed.
as I say we know the truth and the fewer who know the better,
