And dogs are not people, getting a bit silly now.

It really isn't you know.
Show me some proof to back your words up .
Evidence is clear. The breed is a killer. And the worst one of them all.

There are a few Staffies on this list recently, but looks like the XL Bulldog recently has been a problem. Wonder why it has taken the Government so long to act?

Surprised to see a Jack Russell on the list, just goes to show all dogs can be a risk.

I realise this is hard for you Wez, as a staffy owner, but being as objective as possible I don’t know if there’s such a thing as “prejudice” against certain breeds without cause? It’s not like racism amongst humans with no justification. What cause would anyone have to just randomly dislike a dog breed?
Dog breeds only attract a bad reputation if they do bad stuff. Your staffy may be the loveliest dog on the planet, no one is really suggesting otherwise, but the breed on the whole are a bit more on the dangerous side even if it’s just down to their physical characteristics and all responsible staffy owners should acknowledge that.
You really have an unnatural hatred towards the breed don't you , care to explain why ?Evidence is clear. The breed is a killer. And the worst one of them all.

Also the 2nd link you provided is incorrect on the uk breed so please if your going to spew bile about the breed ,make sure its correct .
And just to be clear ,my dog costs me far more than £55 a month , but that's irrelevant to me , I,m a responsible owner .
You however have a totally biased view on the breed , yet I guarantee that the only thing you know about them in reality is the headline snippets your small mind picks up to feed your rabid hatred .
So you think it's acceptable for people to class them as people killers , and the worst of them all ?

Not if the stats don’t back it up. But with respect, it’s about ALL staffies, not just yours.

Fair enough. It was a general point.
And the stats don't back it up , when people say Staffords have killed more people than American pit bull terriers , I mean come on that is just rubbish , and as a responsible owner I,m fully aware of what my breed MAY be capable of , but I did my research before buying as my son was 11 when we bought Rocco , do you really think if I had ANY doubt in the breed I would have ran the risk of a young lad being in the house alongside a so called killer ?
What ***** me off is people who have no idea about the breed spouting the same killer crap time and again on this site , he knows who he is , I get the feeling he just says it because he doesn't like me , which is fine , just block me , but his attitude may help the breed get banned unfairly in the uk , leaving thousands of responsible owners heart broken .
Actually I tend to keep him on the lead for HIS safety when in the fields , as I have had lurchers try and attack him more than once , he's easier to pick up out of harms way on lead , oh and this so called killer just cowered down when these dogs were being aggressive
You are completely missing the point though because you are 100% biased. You are thinking about your dog only and the situations it has been in. Your dog looks lovely and I'm sure what you say about him being friendly is true. However, what would he do if I poked him in the eye or pulled his tail or kicked him or tried to ride him? I'm guessing he'd defend himself, as you would expect any animal to do? The problem is obviously about potential to do harm and if he defended himself I'm sure he could do me a lot of damage. Now replace me in this situation, a 6ft man, with a 2ft toddler who is likely to do those things to a dog and the result is catastrophic, even a child up to teenage years is going to be overpowered by a staffy.
You can say it's the parent of the child's fault for allowing the situation to arise, and it is, but the fact is that situation happens every single day up and down the country with dogs and that is why there are so many attacks in the home. The majority of cases it is because the owners have not thought ahead and they expect previous good behaviour to be the only possible outcome. You can be a perfectly responsible dog owner but you can't control every situation. Surely you can see that the potential to do serious harm is always going to be there?
I don't think anyone is suggesting taking your dog away but if the solution was that the breed was banned in the future then when you come to get your next dog you still have 100s of dog breeds to choose from that aren't dangerous. Why do you, or anyone, have to have one that has so much potential to do harm?

Scientifically, there is no such thing as a "dog breed" there are domestic dogs Canis familiaris. That's it.
That dogs with a certain appearance attract a disreputable owner is the problem. Ban dogs that look a certain way and the disreputable owners will try to circumvent the banning orders by owning dogs just slightly at variance with the "banned" ones or buy another large dog and through a combination of ignorance, arrogance and aggression imbue that dog with the aggressive traits that you think is somehow linked to the appearance of a certain sort of dog.
Simply you are mistaken.

Look, I get you love your dog and I'm sure it's perfectly well trained and safe, but we're talking about a btmre
I think this demonstrates the point though, Jack Russell's are a hunting dog and bred on this basis.There are a few Staffies on this list recently, but looks like the XL Bulldog recently has been a problem. Wonder why it has taken the Government so long to act?

The difference being that they are a small breed, therefore the risks posed are more limited.
Like I said earlier a Staffordshire is Not meant to be a big dog ,they should stand around 14” at the shoulder ,yet another general misconception about them
I picked the Staffordshire breed specifically for it friendliness and superb bond with children .

No, it doesn't.
The sales of ice cream increases in direct proportion to heat strokes. Therefore ice cream causes heat stroke.
Correlation does not imply causation.
