i totally agree but i think its should be done with most breeds, not just staffs.

95% of the dogs rehomed by the rescue I help with have been Staffie or staffie crosses this year & its hard work as some of the people who claim to want them as pets want them for fighting. Some won't take them when they find they are neutered as well. Being a small rescue with no kennels of our own we sometimes let males go before they are neutered but not with the staffie & staffiexs. Must average about one a week & during the whole year have not seen one with papers or any form of registration.

I think the fighting issue must be an issue with BDH too.....as I saw they turned alot of young men away.

Have to say whilst I was there though , I saw two rehomed with two older couples....so hopefully at least those two will live a happy ever after life xxxxxx

Well that's a start hun. That's the kind of trend I like to see!

Breaks my heart there are so many Staffords and Staffiord X's now that th "Stafford rescue's " have to double check the dogs are Staffs before taking them on there are so so so many..... .....being dumped between 8 months and 3 years seems to be the main ages (when they are boisterous) and need rules and people realise they are strong dogs and need sensible handling...or they are used for fighting/breeding then past on........or simply just got rid of.

The next Stafford I get after Sal (many years from now) will be a rescue...."if I pass the homecheck" I think I will just walk in and say "Who has been here the longest or is the most overlooked...." and take that one regardless of sex, age, colour.....

your right. I saw a beautiful little girl black and white, and she was I am sure between 12 & 18 months.

They said she seemed trained and only been there a day, so I have my fingers crossed that she was just lost and her owners find her xxxxxxx

You know, that's roughly what we did with Missy
Though the situation with Staffs is so heartbreaking, so very heartbreaking
