Another dog attack hits the news

[Fran]

I'm afraid that all the Staffie's I know are really nasty and would kill other dogs/cats I have no good experiences of staffies at all Staffie crosses or not they have those Staffie traits I'm afraid

Its very unfortunate you do not know any nice Staffies PK, my girls would not hurt a fly, yes some are dog aggressive, but not all of them...

Yes it is a shame I don't have any good experiences but I don't and i know a few. Even at the vets yesterday when I took Mil for speying, a staffie owner was asked by staff to remove their dog and wait outside as it was positively desperate to attack other dogs in the surgery

She should not have been in the waiting room with a dog like that..

Hubby and I were talking about this story tonight and even he, macho man, said he wouldn't trust his mother's Staffie. I certainly wouldn't trust her round my children let alone my pets. She has been in court because her Staffie attacked another dog and caught a child in a pram in the process Mil is lucky she still has that dog, I feel everyone else in the community is very unlucky and that she should have been pts. I just don't do aggresive dogs at all, I'm sorry but there is no excuse of risk to life from attack be it human or animal..

Smudgley, Fran and I have both read the same news and this is it. It clearly states she saw them clear her gate and that she knew what type of dog they were.


'The family pet called Gizmo was set upon in the garden in Harborne, Birmingham, on Wednesday evening.
Carole Bishop said her pet was found decapitated after what she described as two Staffordshire bull terriers jumped her fence.
.
'Like a toy'
Ms Bishop said her pet had been in the garden.
"They cleared my garden gate, jumped in and massacred my dog," she said.
"He was 15, he had cataracts and hardly any teeth. "What chance would he have stood against those big animals, they threw him around like a toy."

Could be the media have got wires crossed it has been known.

I would certainly not keep a dog like that...My girls were trained and socialized from day one, they are determined dogs, and initially you have to keep on top of them.

If you talk about the bit sying they threw him around like a toy, then obviously they did - if he was in the state they say he was.

It says they cleared the gate. It doesn't say she saw them.

How would she know that they had cleared her garden gate if she hadn't seen them?
